pinkmagic Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I was expecting a delivery of cream legbar eggs today to hatch under my broody. I waited in until after 12 for the postie but the kids were nagging me to take them out and as postie normally leaves parcels behind the bin I decided to risk it. When we got back there was one of those little cards to say they have been taken back to the sorting office, most enoying thing is that postie came about 5 minutes after we left! Very sad, realistically what chances are there of them hatching now? I suppose an extra day wont make to much difference, I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Some eggs I'd ordered had the same problem. They're doing just fine. Just remember to rest them poit down for 24 hours before starting incubation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Depends when they were laid. They should be OK for a week from that date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 They should be fine, as others have said, rest them before setting. Are you able to collect them from the sorting office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmagic Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Just to let you know, I have collected them this morning. They are all intact and beautiful and blue. The seller has assured me they are mega fresh and he has excellent feedback and hatch rates so heres hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
