Yes, Eastern Washington is close enough to Placerville for Priority mail to go by ground.

Eggs should hatch better.

I am on day 21 for the shipped crele penedesenca I traded and got.
No action. My only concern is I do not know when they where sent and 2 weeks ago the guy emailed me asking how many hatched so I have mixed feelings

Today I will start my 2nd attempt at hatching eggs. This time it will be a mixed hatch, Turkey and chicken eggs. Question: Should I wait a week to start my chicken eggs?

As you just have the one bator, yes

Ok. Thanks Oz

Chicka, if it were me, I would go ahead and start them all at once. The chicks can be removed to a brooder at hatch and they will be week old tutors for the poults. I don't think your shipped eggs should wait a week. I would just stop turning the chicken eggs at day 18.
