My eggs are here!!! My eggs are here!!!

YAY!!!

And wouldn't you know it, they arrived while I was stuck out on the highway with a blown tire.

The mailman stuck the box in my mailbox sideways. The eggs were packed with great care (Thank you so much Quail_Antwerp!) and none were broken. I set them in a cardboard egg carton and set them aside to settle. I will move them into the incubator in the morning. I can't wait to see how many hatch! I calculated and mine should hatch the 27th, give or take. Anyone else set to have eggs hatch around that time? This is my first incubation and I am sooo excited. My kids are as excited as I am. I think they will have their faces plastered to the top of the incubator the entire time they are in there, lol. I'm just so happy, I had to share my joy. YAY!

I know what you mean. I went on e-bay and bid on some eggs, but I got outbidded, so I went ahead and bid on another set of eggs. Now I got an e-mail less than an hour ago saying that the person that had outbid me on the first batch of eggs dropped out of the bid, so now I am the top bidder! And I'm the top bidder on the second set of eggs I am bidding on too! If I do indeed win both bids I'll be incubating 34 Sebright eggs! Aggghhh! I don't know what to do, except if I do win both bids, to sell some of them, cause it will be a tight fit in my incubator with 44 eggs! And honestly, I don't need that many birds! Yikes!!! But I wish you luck on your hatch. Let me know when you get yours in the bator. And I have the sneaky suspicion that hatching eggs will also prove to be very addicting. It will be a long winter if I can't incubate any!

I will suggest you to incubate all of them. You can get from 0% to 75%

hatching success with shipping eggs. Out of the 38 you might end up with 10-15 chicks. It will be easier to sell the extra chicks. Also as more chicks as you hatch you will have more opportunity to keep the better and healthy ones.

I just set 27 eggs for my second ever hatch and they are due to hatch June 27 too. I have 13 black copper maran, 10 blue cochin bantams and 4 white silkie. One of the silky eggs arrived with a small pushed in spot so I tried the wax plug an put it in as a hatching lesson. I hope it hatches. I will be watching it close, don't want any exploding eggs!!

Day one and good luck to one and all on this hatching adventure.
