That's correct - thank you! I posted yesterday afternoon and I just now realized that I must have never hit "submit" - I'm sorry.

OK! :) The box is on it's way, there are three dozen eggs inside. I did not wash the eggs at all, please excuse any little marks on them, it's been raining nonstop here and when that happens the straw that they nest in sometimes gets mud tracked into from the chickens' feet, and it leaves little stains on the eggs. I picked out the best eggs to send though. :)

It's a large brown box with red 'please handle with care' labels on it. I'm going to ship it the quickest way possible. Off to the PO right now! :)

Thank you so much! I've been telling my Java hen and my White Rock hen about the eggs. They are very excited since they've been brooding golf balls for a week now!

Just shipped them Priority Mail, expect them in 2-3 days! :) I put a note inside with the amount for shipping, plus instructions on how to set them to settle out before placing them under the hens.

My little partridge cochin hen Boots just became a first time mother today, 2 of her 5 banty eggs have hatched! :) So far we have one little yellow booted chick and a little red clean legged one. She's one proud mama! Mine in the incubator aren't due to hatch until Friday, we'll see how they do. I'm setting up the brooder box today in case they hatch early. :)

That's great about your new babies! It seems that spring equals insanity! I can see it rearing it's ugly head! I held off as long as I could (last year I started in February), so I'm trying to remain positive and feel proud of myself. But now I'm caving in. I'll let you know when I get the egggs.

Thank you again!

Hi Velvet,

I hope you got my email. I got your eggs just a little while ago and they all look good - no broken ones! I'll send you out a money order ASAP. Thank you again and I'll keep you posted once they hatch.

Great! :) I was hoping they'd arrive safely...

We now have two chicks hatched out in the incubator, one is from a Skitters egg and the other is I think from a Silkie egg (either Coal or Blue) but the baby is blond. :) One other egg is pipping, today is hatch day!

Update on the hatch: No Polish eggs hatching so far. :( We ended up with 4 banties, 2 from Skitters' eggs and one from Bear's egg. All are deadly cute, some have booted feet and massive facial tufts...*L*

I'll post pics soon, right now Boots is raising all 7 chicks and is sitting tightly on them. :)

How cute! There is nothing more adorable than a hen and her chicks. I can't wait for mine to hatch. I placed my eggs under a couple of broodies yesterday afternoon - and now we wait. Gotta have patience, as difficult as it can be sometimes.
