A Splash Partridge Brahma Cockerel being his nosy young self...... eyeing up the kids Frisbee golf

"So let me get this straight, you throw that little disk thing, and then go walk after it, just to throw it again? And you call that fun? And they say chickens have little brains.."

He talks about these cars at first..doesn't take long, then, the video shows mail and boxes. Do you see your box of eggs in there??

I read through the comments after that video...He had to resign after 23 years because the video became so popular...he got in trouble.
I ship a lot of eggs, and I have to say, I'm surprised ANY of those little buggers survive. It's just amazing that they do.

I know that I have personally been so stubborn about getting a certain breed or bloodline shipped to me, that I will sometimes end up getting several shipments until I can at least have a few hatch. I think some routes are harder to get viable eggs from. I mean, if a box goes through more than one main postal hub on it's journey or through a particularly rough postal hub....also have had worse luck with egg shipments that are nearby and are trucked the whole way rather than flown. It takes the same amount of time for a box to get from Southern CA to central CA as it does to get from San Diego to New York..... Hmmmm.

Sorry, I'm on a rant partly because a bit raw from an eBay customer trying to threaten me into sending him free eggs because the batch I sent didn't hatch. Same eggs from same birds that are in my incubator now. All fertile and growing. Have no idea if his started and quit, failed to start, how he incubates.... Thought about sending him this video, but don't think he'd care...
Oh well.

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....

First one out was one of the last to pip. Go figure.

What is it?

How is the other one doing with the lengthwise zipping? Any progress? Is it a d'Uccle? They usually come out pretty fast.

So my eggs aren't in yet. It was after midnite last night before we got the incubator set up. Then had the wait for the temp and humidity to come up properly. Still waiting for the humidity to drop a bit then we'll be ready to set the Cortinix eggs. Good news is as of this morning's count we're up to 38. Hopefully by early evening we'll have several more

 

[Peep-Chicken]

Still haven't gotten an email from MPC saying the eggs have shipped. The wait is terrible lol. I wonder what I will get.

Can't imagine that the inability of a egg to hatch is error on your part. The eggs you sent me were packed up amazingly well. Keep your fingers crossed for a good hatch. Going to candle them tomorrow night.
