Set eggs 5-12 Looking for hatching buddies

[anbsmom]

One of my two eggs that I thought was duds pipped last night. It was gasping for air and I chipped some of the shell away for it. It's head was beginning to shrink wrap. It was definitely worn out. Long story short, the little guy made it out only to live for about seven hours. It was a silkie. The dark skin, five toes, long down...the whole nine yards. All it wanted to do was sleep and finally just gave up.

I found mine on e-bay actually. Coups-coops has several varieties of Marans, Cochins & Jerseys & I contacted her directly to ask about just ordering an assortment of what I wanted rather than trying to bid on several auctions & ending up with 3-4 times as many eggs as I actually wanted. With shipping I paid $56 for 18 eggs. They ship tomorrow morning.

Thanks. I will see about that. "They are quite expensive, but I will have some sooner or later." Just got to find them! I was really wanting chicks, but if I have to, I will take eggs.

What do you all do with regards to Mareks vaccinations? Should I vaccinate my chicks or skip it?

Of 60+ chicks I have never vaccinated any & all are healthy as can be

I have 12 out of 17 bearded polish chicks. Today is day 22, I hope the remaining 5 will hatch today, but if not I have to open my incubator to get the other 12 out.
