I was asking because when Nat's eggs hatched, 7 out of 9, I had another batch of egg in with her's. The selling said she had been getting over 80% hatch rates on shipped eggs and out of 19 I got a total of 4.
The seller said it was probably my incubator or technique. I really didn't agree with that assessment because Nat's eggs had done so well, so I figured it had to be the PO. It seems reasonable the breed would matter, too. I can't say I've had really good luck with Ameraucanas, though.
I've had a hard time with cochins, too. The best hatching ones I've had were from Vicky Pittman.
