Got mine

for ya too... I've had good, bad and indifferent with shipped... but never any THAT big, lol...
They would be in better shape if they went through Nashville instead... I have only ever gotten a single egg to hatch from all the boxes that went through Memphis...

Same Experience here X 2.

1 out of 12 from Papa Brooder
1 out of 12 from BWaldon

Seems like I would eventually give up. Whatcha getting????

That makes me feel a little better Mine came from Kansas and went through Nashville. I'm hoping that since they're so big, they traveled better. My last shipped eggs came from Georgia and went through Memphis, 2 hatched and 1 died (and they were EXPENSIVE, so I was not happy). I paid a pretty penny for that one survivor, luckily it did up being a hen, but still....geeze.

It's hard to give up when you find something you really want and they're in those spots...

They're Call eggs from TJChickens... been wanting some of hers for a year now, lol... hers are mostly magpie/ancona patterned and I wanted more with those harlequin genes...

Oh, good!! Yep, Nashville hub seems to be a good one... the only ones I've gotten through there really messed up went through a rough origin hub...

I've seen mine go to 2 different hubs in Memphis and it always takes an extra day... I dunnno, but seeing Memphis on tracking makes me cringe every time... :/

I'm double crossing my fingers for you then. Call eggs hard enough to hatch when you pick them out of your own yard!

Thanks! I've gotten good at hatching our own though, just the shipped is still majorly difficult... I had 24/28 successfully hatch lately, lol...

Yes, I did read this. But this pertains to residential zoning.

Check with the County Agriculture Department for zoning outside of the cities.

Not quite... I don't have big ducks... but I can hatch those too!
