Ok got this one today on an auction. What do you think from an egg seller point of view. I'm thinking this person got burnt on eggs before and that's fine but why creep on me about it? They have never purchased from us.
I find it interesting that you, as well as others in the egg selling business, want positive feedback immediately after receipt of unbroken eggs. You do realize that we can purchase unbroken eggs for less than $2 a dozen at the supermarket? When we buy eggs from you and other breeders, we are paying for the potential of these eggs hatching into live poults and expect to get a hatch rate of at least 50%. If you can't guarantee this to the people you are selling eggs to, you probably shouldn't be selling eggs at all. I realize you don't have control of all factors after the eggs leave your hands, but you should understand that the people that are purchasing these eggs expect more than a bunch of rotten eggs after a 28 day incubation period. Some disreputable breeders would have little regard for shipping infertile eggs to buyers just to make a buck with little concern other than the eggs arriving unbroken. Buyers deserve better than that and feedback is the only way to assure it.
