After I re-read this lengthy post of mine, I thought I should clarify....normally I do ship out more eggs if somebody has a bad hatch from me, even though it's not my fault, I still want them to get chicks. With this person, I just refunded his money. I didn't have to, but didn't want to ship him more eggs either because he was using a threat to get his way. Just wanted to be done with him.
Okay, now I think I'm done....![]()
Thank you for the perspective. I've been in touch with each seller of eggs during and after hatch. I would love for someone to volunteer to send me more eggs but I don't expect it during my contact. I'm not great at this hatching thing yet so I'm really absorbing and learning each time. Like you, Cowgirl told me she had no major problems with her recent hatch, so I know the eggs were probably in good hatchable condition when they left her. TX to NY is a rough haul. I'm curious about how we could develop a better shipping system (like a gyroscope or gravity based shipping system) and how we could better predict the best conditions for each breeds eggs.
