I was looking to get some Buff Sussex from the UK.

I bought 4 batches of eggs at the same time

1x6
1x6
1x6
1x12

I set them all at roughly the same time. Of the 12 batch, 5 hatched. And I got one other hatch from the other 18.

Not very successful but at least I have 4 breeding hens from this group.

Hi All, I just thought I would give you an update on the recent post when I mentioned I had a 100% hatchrate ongoing, they all hatched and are doing very well now, just about 10 days old. Smile
