Just read 15 pages! Pretty nutso. Well my ameraucana eggs arrived this morning. The only good thing going for them is that there are no cracks in the shells. Most of them have a lot of poop, all the air cells are detached except for one and that one is located in the pointy end. Most of the air cells look like day 7-14 incubation. Several of them are porous. I sent the woman an email and pointed all these things out and have had no response. I will be leaving feedback in 7 days after I check the fertility. I am not a happy camper to say the least. she had 100% positive feedback, which is why I ordered from her. :he
I maybe requesting my money back. Wishing I had got a response earlier from a lady out of Tennessee who has hatching eggs. These ones are supposed to Lavender. May just need to hold out until next spring for scflock.

Hopefully they will look good after a few days of incubation! Doesn't larger air cells means the eggs are older??

This is what scares me about shipping eggs, that's why I want to ship to sidewing for free. He's across the country, and at a higher elevation. It's a perfect test. There's no excuse for overly fouled eggs. I never wash my incubation eggs, but I wouldn't put heavily soiled ones in my incubator, and wouldn't expect anyone else to. The air cells are what scare me. If she had 100% positive feedback, then she obviously had satisfied customers, but after reading your review I would never order from her. That's the good and bad about the internet; it's a great way to get instantaneous reviews, but one dissatisfied customer can scare off lot of people. I'm not saying you are wrong, and if she intentionally sent you bad eggs, she should be ashamed. The hazards of air travel scare me

So are you saying that is where you would buy your SQ stock? Is at a show? Some allow sales and some don't right?

Here is my thinking.

1. I LOVE SLW and I want that round, fat, thin laced girl out in my yard. I want 8 of them and a brute of a roo to go with them.
2. If your birds are obviously SQ(ish) from your pictures then you can ask a much higher price for shipping eggs and selling chicks. If you have the market, and we seem to.
3. If that all works out and we do have some SQ birds I would separate the queen and treat her like royalty. Tame her. And take her to the shows.

I'm pretty sure I could get about the same price around here for hatchery stock, but I just don't want to keep putting bad SLW out into the world. I want to improve them and see more people keeping show stopping SLW. I know the first ones are more expensive for me, but hatching and raising chicks after that is the same price. I might as well have SOP birds.

I also like the wayndotte breed we have the SLW and GLW mine were picked for different reason cold weather egg production and hardiness to answer your question yes If you want to show and you want to win and if sales are allowed or not at the show the best birds will be there along with the breeders of the best. you only have a few breeding up is simple and easy through the rooster but it requires you to change roosters a lot . 20 weeks eggs 40 weeks good size 43 weeks new generation fast improvement don't get attached to the rooster get rid of him get a better one so he can cover the whole flock . 18 hens are needed to get a dozen a day. a rooster should only be with 12 some say less.
