I've heard that Pa PO supply area is so huge that they can't get anything through alive. So some people started sending glass jars of honey and noting it on the package. They won't send it on the ramps because if glass breaks the honey will get into their motors. I told my seller in Pa to...
Ordering eggs is a crap shoot. I have hatched exactly 4 chicks out of 56 eggs in 4 separate batches. And 2 of those were the wrong kind. Barred rocks instead of whites. My problem was allowing myself the opportunity to let me pay shipping on replacement eggs. They didn't change their way of...

I have some Swedish Flower Hen eggs coming in from Pa. next week. That's far from La. The first batch were scrambled. We'll see. Today on CL I found a lady in TX 3 hrs from me that sells them. I could meet her halfway and get them later in the fall. (When she comes that way). $30 doz...
