Title: LAKE CUMBERLAND
Post by: lamike on September 29, 2009, 02:08:48 PM
Just to let people know  I bought 200 chukar eggs from them and only 30 actually hatched
candled all of them couldn't have had 10 more even remotely fertile
there were no issues with my incubator because i had thirty quail eggs in the incubator with them and all hatched
problem being there not doing anything about it
awful expensive eggs that way ro1

 agd2 I had the same problem. but i bought 50 cortnx quail eggs and only 3 hatched. my incubator was fine because i had 100 bob white hatch off 2 days before. so i felt ripped off. also only about 20 were fertile

there could be many factors to this: male to female ratio, end of laying season, or shipping could have all contributed to them not hatching but i usually try to stay away from the big guys like them because even though the prices might be good your going to get quantity and not quality

try this website: http://www.eggbid.com/ (http://www.eggbid.com/) it is the off season now so theres not much for sale but ive had good luck on this site just always check the persons feedback like you would on ebay

I have ordered quite a few times from Cumberland and never had any trouble. About 3 weeks ago I ordered 500 northern bobwhite eggs at $125 incl freight. Have not received yet plus I have the $125 plus another $115 charge from them on my MC acct.

Could be honest error. Could be a little late shipping. Still, would like to contact them to sort out problem.

Looked on their webpage and I can't find a phone number or email anywhere. Does anybody know of any way to contact them? Preferably a phone number or email address. I see some complaining about no response on emails.

I had problems with them too. I ordered 100 Jumbo Coturnix and 30 Butlers. I hatched 14 and 6 respectively. I emailed and called and have had no response. Ghost.

bought 600 valley eggs last year.  Had them ship 200 every ten days.  Only about 50 hatched.  one of the batches only had 1 fertile egg.  Don't buy from them anymore

http://www.chukareggs.com/privacy.html This is a site I found on a Google search. Good egg prices, shipping included.  It's Rosebud Chukar farms.
Any feedback? Ghost.
