That stinks! I get shipped eggs here at least twice a week. Really the secret of shipping eggs so that the air cells don't break is shipping them so that they're right side up (pointy side down). That way the air cell doesn't get sloshed back and forth and get detached from the sides. Since I started shipping like that and I requested my eggs be shipped like that, I have had no broken air cells at all. Its when the eggs are laid on their side that it happens.

We have had our eggs packaged many different ways.....I thought out of all of the boxes shipped the one that was shipped express would have been a safe bet...oh well,
we just stick with chicks or pick up birds or eggs at a show.
Who did you order you eggs from again??? MIght be worth a try shipping them to my moms house.....

Like we need anymore birds, but the incubator is not full.​

Hey Rebecca!
You want a breeder pair of glw? lol
I simply don't have the room now that I have the new splash rooster unless I can get Kevin to build me a couple of arks this spring. I am serious about switching over to the black LF wyandottes. At least that way I won't have to cull for lacing...

What are you using as a brooder? I'd love to give my dogs back their crates

.

And I think I have three cockerels/five pullets from your eggs, Kathie, and I think the single Serama babe is a pullet - next batch is due next Saturday! Hope I get a nice ratio like that again.

Im using a big rabbit cage with a slide out tray. Here is an older picture but same setup. It cuts down on having to use shavings and all the dust. Even if its in the basement!

Good luck with the hatch! I have the MFC due to hatch in less than a week

The only time I got hatching eggs I got 20 some chicks from 4 dozen eggs, so that wasn't too bad I didn't think.

Hello! I just wanted to pop in and tell you how much I love my pair of SLW from you. They are splendid! My girl has started laying and I am excited! They are so stunning and I want more running around to enjoy. Thank you so much!​

you are very welcome and i am glad you like them. I hope they lay well for you and you have a lot growing out this spring.

Oh, yes! I sure do. But they are worth it. Their beauty makes me smile and their personality is so calm and friendly that it amazes me. I don't know if that is unique to this breed or just from ones from you!

I still haven't named them because I can't think of one name good enough for either.
