Thank you for reaching out. So I do believe the issue with hatching here does not have to do with the color of the egg which is simply just a pigment added by the hen during her laying process. I do believe this may more to do with the breed itself. Cream legbars or legbars in general are know to be on the high strung side. Things like weather change or just being moved can affect they way they lay and how the males perform. It could also be how often the eggs are collect and where the nesting boxes are. If you are collecting at the end of the day vs every few days, the weather conditions can affect the eggs dramatically. The area where there coop is could be hotter, colder, drafty.... so many things could be different compared to another coop or the area each is laying. The other thing that could be affecting your hatch rate is the age of the hens. At 2 years old though I can not imagine this being the case as they are in their prime laying age. I have multiple blue layers that I incubate their eggs and I do notice my legbars lay a lot but have the worst fertility. The girls are too busy foraging and being inquisitive to even bother with my male. Although this is quite a pickle when trying to incubate, I would not change hatching parameters on chicken eggs due to the color of the egg. I would only change parameters on specific breeds that require more detailed or elevated parameters.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues and loss you experienced with your order. While we're glad we could provide a refund, we understand it doesn't replace the chicks you were expecting. We do advise USPS to call upon arrival so that you have the opportunity to pick them up and I'm sorry that those instructions were missed. We're continuously looking for ways to improve safety in shipping for our feathered friends and your feedback is valuable to us. You may find our blog post helpful for future orders, as it explains how the post office should call for pick up at their location rather than completing a home delivery. Here is the link to that article: How will I know that my chicks have arrived at the post office? If you have any further concerns, please reach out to us.

Thank you so very much for sharing how your little ones are doing! We hope for many many years of continued happiness for you and Coriander, Paprika, Cumin and Miss Pepper!
