    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    I had two out of the 12 hatch. A little over half started developing but then crashed at various times. My eggs were placed under a broody hen. I don't like to rate a seller on hatch rate as there are just too many variables that affect the hatch that the seller has no control over. In this case...

    I've set mine under a couple broodies and have my fingers crossed.

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    Mine arrive today as well. Some loose air cells but none broken. I don't like basing feedback on hatch results because there is so much that can happen to reduce hatchability that the seller has no control over. I am more forgiving of a poor hatch than I am poor conduct by the seller. I realize...

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    My auction ended on July 5th. I just noticed that they had 2 others for the same type of eggs ending that day, as well as a third ending three days later. If it is taking them a week to fulfill an order and they have 4 orders per week going perhaps they should slow down a bit so they can keep...

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    I bought the Crele , barred buff, cuckoo polish. I have never bought from them and after what has happened, I will never do so again. They have nearly all positive feedback but I can't see how.

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    Mine have not arrived yet either. The auction ended nine days ago and they did not ship until this past Friday. Same as you, not a single answer to any of my messages and the tracking info I received from eBay came early Thursday morning. The eggs did not get dropped off at the post office until...

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    How were the eggs? Did they arrive fresh? I just don't get how they can sell there and still treat customers like this.

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    I sell on eBay as well and understand everything you mention. I have also shipped boxes and had them not get scanned and it is very frustrating from my end as well. In this case, the box was scanned as received at their post office Friday at 2:48 in the afternoon even though the label was...

    Hs Anyone bought eggs from Dancinghen in Otis Oregon on eBay?

    I have had just a horrible experience and I am trying to find out how I can reach this seller. The auction ended last Friday and I paid on Sunday, expecting the eggs to be sent the first of the week. I sent a message on Monday evening asking (nicely) for an update and heard nothing. On Wednesday...

    Button Quail 1

    I raise Button Quail in various colors but mainly concentrate on the Tuxedo pattern. These birds are very easy and enjoyable to keep. My birds are a mix of American and European lines and tend to be very calm when raised around people.

    Dutch Bantams

    My Dutch Bantams have come from some of the best lines in the US and I can only hope to continue to improve the birds. I raise Light Brown/Blue Light Brown and Cream Light Brown/Blue Cream Light Brown. This past January one of my LB cockerels took Best of Variety and also took Reserve of Breed...

    Large Fowl Buff Cochins

    My latest project is Large Fowl Buff Cochins. These birds are from Bill West in Colrain, Massachusets, who is well known for his quality stock. Bill has put a lot of work into his birds and it shows. Although some people believe that there is a such a thing as a "Giant" Cochin, this is simply...

    Sebright Bantam

    Sebright Bantams are another favorite of mine. Thier diminutive size is more than made up for in personality! My little rooster is always displaying for hens 4-5 times his size. Poor little guy does not realize he doesn't stand a chance! Sebrights are a "hen feathered" breed which means that the...

    Marans Chicken Breed Information Pictures

    Please Note: Due to health issues, I sold my flock of Marans in 2010 to another breeder in the area. I do not anticipate having any available in the near future. I currently raise Copper Black Marans as well as several other breeds. The CB Marans are the main breed that I work seriously with...

    Olive Eggers Cross Breed Of Copper Black Marans Rooster And Ee Hen

    This is a cross I made by using my Copper Black Marans Rooster over my EE Hen shown here: Her daughters, such as the one shown below: lay a beautiful Olive colored egg. When available, I list these eggs on E-Bay under the heading 'Olive-Eggers'. I typically ship the blue eggs that...

    Am I REALLY a Cochin?!

    Quote: This is why it is so important to learn what they should look like before you buy. They may not be taking advantage as they are probably completely ignorant as to what they have as well. This is the problem of poor information being passed on from person to person. They bought them as...

    How long from pip to zip?

    Often it is the following day. The chicks are no where close to ready to hatch when they pip. Dragging them out early will result in them bleeding to death.

    Egg shrinkwrapped?

    How did you see the membrane? If the veins are still active there should have only been the tiny little pip in the shell and no need for moistening anything.

    treating for northern fowl mites

    I use Sevin dust (10%) and dust them liberally around the vent, under the wings and around the neck. Northern fowl mites will always reinfest your birds so you typically need to dust at least twice a year. Spring and Fall are the two worst times for them.

    still trying to ID silkie color

    There is no such color as blue/splash. It would be either blue or splash and they appear very different. Since blue is a dilution of black, the shade and lacing (difficult to see on a silkie) can vary tremendously from pale silver through a dark blue. There is also the possiblity that there is...
