I do query about the cold though

I'm thinking March might be a better time. Right now he would have to pass through some pretty cold areas. I'll keep it in mind if I don't find anyone local who is interested.

Awesome. I was actually thinking of buying more phoenix with my hatchery order im doing with 4H here

Who would you all recommend buying Phoenix hatching eggs or chicks from? My FIL bought some from EBay and I am having no luck, I have one living egg out of 10, and of the ones I eggtopsied only 6 were fertile with 4 showing signs of development. These came from Virginia so I'm hoping to find a closer breeder to WA state.

I am very pleased with the eggs I bought from Boggy Bottom Bantams. Despite my inexperience incubating I had at 50% hatch rate and our pullet took Best in Show when she went to our county fair. Their temperament is amazing. I don't know if they are selling hatching eggs now due to shorter day lenght.

I have been looking at their stuff, I like that they are active on here and on Facebook. How many eggs did you order? I can't decide between getting a variety purchase of chicks or eggs.

We ordered 6 eggs, 2 girls and 1 boy hatched. He injured a leg and I was unable to get it to mend, if he hadn't been acting like it was painful I would have kept him although he would have been a Special Needs bird. The vet had never seen such a mellow chicken.

My DD ordered a dozen D'Anver eggs, and I ordered a dozen partridge rock bantams, to hatch along with the Phoenix. Only 1 rock pipped, the D'Anvers developed fine but the shells were so Much denser I think they were just to wet at hatch to survive.

Good to know. I would only be ordering Phoenixes, were the 3 unhatched eggs fertile?

Two of the 3 developed but quit at about 10/12 days in.
