WOW! Amazing hatch rate!!!

[SundownWaterfowl]

I shipped 16 buff silkie eggs to WA. And just got an email from the lady I shipped them to. Out of the 16, 12 were viable, and all 12 hatched.

Thats amazing!

Hello Chelsea,

A short note to tell you that out of the 12 eggs that were viable, I had 12 GORGEOUS buff babies born last night. Just wanted you to know, and thank-you so much for the eggs and now the beautiful babies, I am very pleased and happy with them, they are all keepers. So glad we perservered and got the eggs to me, it has worked out wonderfully well.​

Dang, I'll by from you if you are getting hatch rates like that.

WONDERFUL!! CONGRATS!!!

How do you pack the eggs to ship and what did you put on the box? I am planning on sending some eggs from Mesa,AZ to Wampum, PA. and i want to make sure I am packing them really well to make the trip.
Thank you!

I wrap each egg individually in bubblewrap, and cushion them with lots of shredded paper. I show on my website how I pack. www.freewebs.com/sundownwaterfowl

Her box was labled "Hatching Eggs. Do not drop, jar, or expose to extreme hot or cold" I also put "Please handle with care. Thank You!".

I had another box go to TN I believe, I think I also sent 16 eggs and just got an email that said all eggs are growing.

Wish my hatch rates from shipped eggs were like that.

I would like to add I also got eggs from Sundownwaterfowl, 7 out of 8 survived the trip, and 5 hatched! I am very happy, 5 fuzzy Silkies!
