I suppose this is to be expected from ebay. The good news is the egg we got for free at Melton Mowbray Market from a light Sussex is OK and also quite a bit bigger than the Indians. I think my wife did well to poach it..lol.. well it was sitting there in the auction crates.. So only 7 days (ish) to go.

Hope you get a good hatch - often shipping can jostle the eggs enough that they don't start to develop, but at least you got half on the go!

I also have 12 faverolles in with them...Keeping my fingers crossed. We have also been given a great looking chick (injun) as it was alone and we were about to purchase a couple of chicks from a nearby farm.
