We are having discussions with defra which is our department for agriculture and rural affairs, to see if this situation can be improved, but i don't hold out much hope . Incidentaly this ruling applies to eggs and live birds :( . However rest assured that if and when we can ship you will be the first to know ,and the shipping will be at cost ( as little as we can pay for the best service we can get).Stuart Hi again Debs,

Another cause may be where they were in the 'plane, when i used to import tropical fish into UK we sometimes had problems with them being put in the hold which was not pressurised.This will have an adverse effect on eggs as well. Don't blame the eggs or the hatchers, lay the blame firmly at the door of the carrier.

I did follow your tips and tricks. Is there anything else you can think of? Oh, and by the way, they were incubated in three different incubators by three different people....so, blaming one incubator isn't the easy option.
