Thank you, have my fingers crossed. Seller got back to me, just a labeling error. As I prepped my own silkie eggs the shipped eggs are smaller - not by a lot, but smaller, except the one larger pointy one. We shall see what happens! I really wouldn't mind a silkied serama they are beautiful. I will be content if any of the shipped eggs hatch, knowing shipping can be hard on eggs (they had to go through Atlanta-ugh). Got a chuckle out of my post lady worried about putting the eggs in her little truck for our rural route, she called and thought I might want to pick them up. I told her if they survived Atlanta they would survive her jeep.
Glad they made it safely! Did you candle them to see how the air cells look? I would incubate them upright in a carton unless the air cells are really intact.
I have a couple hens that are 2 to 2 1/2 yrs old and they lay quite large eggs, as big as a silkie egg. My pullets lay tiny eggs and I find them much harder to hatch, unless you are a hen, of course!
