I ended up with 6 of 18 EE's. 11 made it to lock down, 5 quit just before pipping. Some if the eggs were in my incubator, some under a broody with same results from both so I'm guessing they just had a rough time with the po. Can't wait until I have my own eggs and don't need shipped eggs anymore. Should be there soon, I have my sizzle quad who just needs to stop being broody long enough to lay some eggs, and if I get a drake out of this batch of calls I'll have them and I will be set. Nest year I should have roman tufted geese, call ducks, turkeys, sizzles, and maybe EE. These little guys are really cute, thinking about keeping them until they grow out then thinning down my flock from there. Would love to have a trio of EE to be able to hatch from too.

It's sad you can't get much from shipped eggs. I bought some this week that weren't too far away and they were trucked in and the cells look a lot better on them so I'm running an experiment of flown vs. trucked. If trucked turns out better, I would like to find out the price to ship ground and take a chance with older eggs that didn't have to withstand the air pressure changes.

Mine seemed to have done the best from a state or 2 away. My eggs from texas and oklahoma have done good, the one's from new york, louisiana and florida didn't.
 
4 out of my 5 eggs have pipped.............A day early!

They are in the bator resting and fluffing up. They are so much darker than I expected for Easter Eggers.....Maybe they really are Ameraucanas? I'll take a picture of everyone when they dry off better. They are sort of spread out around the incubator so it's hard to get a group shot.

Here is a picture of the first one out, though...........
 

the onle on the right hatched monday, the other two yesterday..and my two youngest kiddos watched the two hatch yesterday..my 4 yo had his mouth hanging wide open in amazement the whole time...LOL
