hiya Madcat,
my hatching on thw whole has went really well , apart from the gold laced orps .
I bought 6 eggs from e-bay , the seller sent 8 , which i thought was a nice gesture , they were all packed well and i had no breakages , i candled them a couple of times during incubation and found that none of them were fertile anyway i left them in just in case , on due date , nothing so i left them for a few more days , still nothing , i e-mailed the seller who kindly sent another 8 eggs , this time round i got 2 chicks , but one had to be dispatched . So as you can imagine im very disappointed and have e-mailed the seller again to advise him that he really needs to be checking the fertilty , i know with posted eggs there is always a risk, but these have been the worst hatch for me this season .
