CG & QJ, hope your babies all hatch!!

Hm... speaking of hatching, I wonder how Chicken's hatching is going.

I know I can't wait for my next lockdown... 2 weeks from tomorrow. Then I'm all done with hatching. SIGH.

Are you sure???????? Maybe you should order some eggs. LOL.

Oh and yes, I'm an enabler.

I'm just getting discouraged with the shipped egg situation. It's like I have to buy a dozen to get 4 to hatch! But I can't get the breeds I want unless I buy the eggs. Ugh!

First you get them to hatch.. THEN you root for the girls. LOL. Although I think I might have gotten lucky with the light sussex. I'm pretty sure I have a pair.

that sucks.
maybe its this weather?
im sure things will be better when spring hits.

I am kind of debating on getting one more set of cayuga eggs so we could possibly have a breeding pair from different stock.

You know what, you're probably right. The first 2 batches of shipped eggs I got were awesome hatch rates. One was 100% . And it was in the 80's.

So we'll go with that.

QJ, I think it is just luck of the draw with shipped eggs, but back to the byc vs. ebay eggs: So far, I hatched 8 of 12 with cayugas (66%) and have developing 100% ancona and 80% celtic's goose eggs.

Hm...

Hm...

You've got a great point too. My 2 good hatches were both BYC people.

I REALLY like Pidgey's eggs... and they are only $20 for a dozen shipped. Don't tempt me!
