I have been buying eggs off of Ebay to get my flock going again and bring in some of the breeds I wanted more of. I'm running into a problem and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem as well.
About 40% if the eggs I'm buying are coming in with the dappling that indicates shell problems. None of these eggs ever develop. I have never candled on arrival but I'm going to from now on if I try any more and address the problems with the seller immediately. I anticipate struggles with getting them to be held accountable for such a subtle but important defect.
Has anyone else had problems with this from Ebay sources? If so, how have you handled it? I'm thinking about starting a list of suppliers who send eggs with this shell problem.
Any input would be appreciated.
