Yes, you had told me that you sent 26 eggs, but only actually shipped 20. The auction was 23+. It's just shady business. You seem to be at least trying, if you've changed packing methods and I see that you're listing the mixes as what they are. Most people are just leery now because not even...
Having a bad packing day, being new with shipping, etc, are all forgiveable in my mind. Unfortunately, sending less than what's listed in the auction and sending pekins, basque, polish, etc instead of calls, runners (you did at least tell me after auction that you couldn't send any of these)...
Back when I started, BYC was full of free eggs for shipping and fertility testing. Now that the sales section changed, it seems that the test shippings have completely disappeared. It's a shame really. It was a nice way to let people get experience shipping without ruining their reputation if...
As for shipping... when I first started, I had eggs shipped to me, researched, asked questions, then actually offered several sets of "shipping testers". Free eggs, provided the receiver gave me extremely detailed feedback so I knew that I could ship properly. I did the same with all of my...
John, I actually use plastic grocery bags for shipping. Not because I'm cheap, but because I actually prefer them. Even my soaps and candles are shipped with these bags as packing. I feel like packing peanuts are just too loose and allow everything in the box to "travel". If eggs or candles...
You use way too small of a box, and you need to actually add padding, send the correct amount of eggs and send what people claim. I've seen your packing too and it was awful. When you send 20 eggs and the auction was for 23+, not to mention the wrong breeds? Only 8 actually arrived safely...
Her offer and claim is okay. She's on the crazy egg chain, which means that she doesn't have to offer bantams. She claimed leghorns from the last offer and is offering wyandottes or wellsummers.
If you can text them to someone, they could upload them for you. Just trying to help. I tend to avoid this thread because it moves slower than molasses in Alaska. ;)
I have a mixed flock for now. Leghorn and EE roos over EE hens, leghorn hens, light brahmas and cornish crosses. I'm currently building up my breeding stock. Spring, I should have plenty of breeders to hatch and grow out (white bresse, tolbunt polish, silkied Am's, paint silkies, white silkies...
It's one of those things you drop in the tub and it fizzes in the water. Mine have a lot of skin softening ingredients that make your skin feel great after you hop out of the tub :)
I feel you there! We had a double yolker turkey egg and it was quite painful to put that one in the fridge, lol. Any chance you'd be interested in trading for soaps/candles/bath bombs as well? In my mind, one can never have enough turkey eggs/poults, LOL!
That works. :) Just let me know when you want them to be shipped. Give me like a week in advance notice so I know to collect them for you. :) I'll send an extra or two, in case one breaks or something, but if there are too many, maybe you could try giving the extras to someone else, or having a...
That might help, eh? :D
I can also do 6 "hens choice". I have some leghorns and some cornish cross covered by leghorns (project birds). The leghorns have been picking up, but the cornish cross aren't laying very well right at the moment. (11 hens and I got like 6 eggs in two weeks!) They...
