then why charge so much if seller is not doing all they can to ensure buyer is getting good fertile hatching eggs I am just bummed as I want to hatch pure nice birds but tired of paying for eggs that never even vein...
The silkies come from Garry Farm, in Georgia and her name is Nancy, BYC screen name: bargain. She usually has listings in the buy/sell/trade section. My first order was only six eggs. She sent seven. 5 out of seven were fertile, but only 3 made it to lockdown. I just started a batch of 15 more from her, so I don't know how many will develop yet. This is an excellent article that you must read for incubating and hatching shipped eggs. They require different treatment then local eggs. Good luck!
If you are still interested when my girls pick up laying again, I'll send you some eggs. I've never shipped eggs and would like to give it a try. I have 34 baby Silkies in my brooder atm and about 25 more eggs in the incubator. I'm getting 100% fertility right now. ETA: I also have paints.
