Beth C,
That is a fair price for hatching eggs. I charge the same $35 for a dozen shipped with extras.
I thought that was about what you charged me. Wayne sells his for around the same I think. When I bought my first eggs from him they were even less. I don\'t fault anyone for charging more - none of us are making any money - but I figure you guys hooked me up, I\'ll pay it forward.
Unfortunately, I won\'t be selling any lavenders this year. I\'m only breeding splits, trying to work out some issues from last year. But I hope to have a limited number of w/bw/sw eggs later and maybe some buff.
So sorry to hear about the predator problems. I don\'t know why it is, but you\'re right, little buggers have good taste, don\'t they? They never take the ugly cockerel who\'s already got a ticket to the cannery...
Oh, and I forgot to mention, you did the best packing job I\'ve ever seen - thought I was going to have to call in the jaws of life to get them out of there, but it was the best hatch I had that year, including my own eggs!
