I hatched 9 of 12 BCM's I picked up from RUTH in Mississippi. I drove them across Louisiana back to Texas. Didn't want to take a chance. I had 18 BLRW's shipped across country, 1 hatched at day 23 with some help after 36 hours of piping. 2 of the BLRW eggs were broke on arrival so I knew the PO did a number on them. The one that hatched is about the only that developed at all. This breeder has a good rep and all the blame rests on the post office. That is the chance you take with shipped eggs. I had to make sure the lone BLRW was in the pic's.
