Ya are sooo Kind @Rammy and I certainly can't say no to some Khaki Campbells....we'll just have to see how things go....with the hatch and the closing..........they begin to lay between 17-20wks of age normally.....
Then get duck eggs. Or turkey eggs. Or Guinea eggs. Or Peafowl eggs.Fingers crossed for a successful hatch!
I want to hatch some eggs too but I really don't want anymore chickens.

I kept watching the transit info so as soon as the eggs were delivered I ran out to the mailbox at work to get them. It wasnt too cold today but I didnt want them sitting out there getting any colder. Right now Im getting the incubators up and running and getting the humidity levels stabilized. Couple of the eggs are huge. Im hoping they arent double yolkers.Seeing how duck eggs have a much tougher shell than chicken eggs, they had to have had some pretty rough handling.... That's "gov't " employees for you....
Let them sit at least 24 hours, but not much longer than 48. If they got chilled at all the germ will be weak so you need to get them started but they need to "settle" after getting used as a football in transit.
