OH, I see, LOL then they should know dirty eggs doesn't affect hatching. I mean they get dirty, you can't really do much about it except to wipe them with a dry paper towel and try to get what you can, you don't ever want to wet it. Takes off the protective coating.Good to know! I'm very new at this, so I'm absorbing everything I can and appreciate all information! But just to clarify I didn't write that above, that was the information from the eBay seller where I purchased the maran eggs.
I read some of the comments to that ebayer and honestly she or he has a really bad attitude. I mean they get on the defensive side if ANYONE leaves a negative feedback, bad business practice.. personally, I would be thinking twice before buying from them, I mean instead of rectifying the negative feedback, they just immediately insult them and call them a scammer. As a seller myself, it's just not good business practice. You want your customers to come back, not chase them away..
