Oh no.  My daughter did that once and felt so so bad.  Poor thing.

(that was an example of me talking to my myself via computer.  Please disregard.)

When I went to pay at the auction I asked if they had any information on the calls and they handed me a flyer on what Johnson's offered. They give a phone # and a so called web site but no answer on phone and no web site so now I'm really worried.

Yep...I'm an Ebay addict, too.  I like "window shopping" on there....but I end up drooling and screwing up my keyboard!

I'm on ebay asking seller of my last button eggs to sale me more, and ditto the large peking guy.  I want a few more of those too.  I think next time I incubate the extra large jumbo eggs, I'm going to treat them like goose eggs and the muscoveys, with the 30 minute spritz and cool down.  I think a bit more moisture loss would have been helpful.

 

I'm not getting more buttons for DD, naughtly little (sad) thing, they are for me!  I love the teeny quiet little peeps and coos of the buttons.  I want to keep some in this big old birdcage I have, that is shaped like a house.  I think they'd look sweet.

 

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

So did you actually order from them?  I see them listed on several websites as a hatchery, but no website or FB page.
