If only we didn't have to buy so many chicks, at such high shipping, to get what we want. As it is, I count myself luck if I get 33%-50% live hatch rate. Sometimes its great, sometimes its awful, and like in your case, sometimes its a complete surprise!
Right! I'm like... ok, if I get 12 eggs I MIGHT get 3 or 4.
Then I went and picked up some Swedish Flower Hens from a woman near me and they are doing great.
Now that being said, the black javas I bought are doing AWESOME. 100% fertility. One with a blood line.. but hey, that's fertile just the same. EXCELLENT buyer I think.
