I got 21 out of 27 on the 12Th. They were all RIR's I think a all the time hatching thread is a great idea.

Did you change something in the way you hatch this time.?
Honestly if they were shipped...they are so hit and miss.
I have had 4 failed hatches from shipped but 9 or 10 that i got a few chicken Only one did I get over 50% hatch though 10 of 14 eggs!I was shocked...
...most are about 25-30%
Last bust all the eggs were infertile or didnt start to grow one or the other so shipping ? breeder? hard to say

There are just so many variables with hatching and get shipped you are adding another layer to that.
BUT positive i have some reall y nice chickens now
GREAT breeds and colors. so even if i only got a few its more than i would find near me to buy so i buy shipped a LOT!
GOOD LUCK this time.!!
