I hope you are feeling better. I got the eggs

None of them are broken which is really good. I have them warming up now and will candle them before I put them in the bator for hairline cracks but they look like they are just fine. Thanks so much! I am really hoping some of those Blue/RIR cross eggs hatch for me. Good luck with yours!

Thanks I'm feeling much better today. Just sinus bugging me due to the cold.

I'm so glad they got there today!!! What a relief!!! When I candled the ones you sent some had irregular air pockets, had to be from shipping and possibly a plane ride. So you may find the same thing with the ones I sent. I've had chicks develop from eggs like that before so thats good. I do hope the blue's hatch for you too. Keep me posted!

I got my eggs! This is so fun - I call these Christmas chickies as they will be hatching just before.

So your eggs have been set for what? 7 days?? Have you candled them yet?? I got buttons, so no candling for me

I will have to get my excitement from you guys!

So sweetshoplady, you got them? I was so worried how they would make the trip. Any casualties?
I hope you like them, my red sex links are sweet girls, a little shy, but very, very sweet.

Mine came today, but since we weren't home, the post office kept them. DD will go pick them up on Monday. Can't wait to see who sent them!!!!

That's good! At least they didn't set them on your doorstep!!

Yeah - I'm glad the mailman kept them. They must have said "eggs" on the box and he knew they would freeze. DD will pick them up tomorrow!

Oh and good news - my buttons FINALLY hatched!!!! This morning I have 8 and they might still be hatching. The jumbo quail are done; ended up with 12 and that's ok by me. The low temps must have stalled the buttons but were too cold for the jumbos. WHEW!
