chippy28 1 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I've had lots of eggs off ebay and i've found its worth paying for royal mail special delivery as i seem to get better hatch rates. I also let them rest 24 hours before setting. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

readie 184 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) 3 lots of ebay eggs 2x6 hatched 7x10 hatched,last lot 12 clear eggs no refund winkers.always best to wait 24 hrs for the eggs to stand before incubation starts.all that hatched were buff orpingtons,12 clear eggs were bantam.
