Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[familypendragon]

I have WFS "my upsidedowner shipped" hatching and of course my brahama are starting to pip, I cant sit on the bator today as I have a very full house and tonight is packed so I hope I get a few out of them, only want a few.

Good luck!

so, I just finished reading the 12 pages I've been behind in the last week and a half, it has been very busy. last week my bato was supposed to go into lockdown, I didn't have much hope for it, on day 14 my shipment from China arrived my new thermometer and hygrometer combo. and I think I realize what I did wrong on the first set I incubated and this one. I cooked them. that will teach me to trust the thermometer that comes with the incubator, it said 99.5 degrees then my new thermometer said 108 degrees, oops. luckily the first dozen were my own and the second dozen were from a friend. so, now we are on our third attempt. fingers crossed can't wait for day 10

So sorry, but yes - the built in ones are awful. I honestly don't know why they bother putting them on there. Mine reads 94 when it is actually 100. So if I believed it I'd be cooking everything at 106.

Luckily thus far all eggs have been free, but I keep hoping the green eggs and the white eggs will hatch (the white are polish) I am very impatient.

108 I still crack a smile with that number, I feel so bad for everyone, I just don't get it, you pay for these incubators and they add the thermo and hygros, why bother if they are not right!

 sally, I think my father in law has a serama (maybe crossed though) not 100% sure what he is but hes tiny and carries himself very regally, oh and hes frizzled. I will try to get a picture to send you to see what you think of him.

Rule #1 Never trust the thermometer that comes with the incubator!!!

Rule #2 Never trust the hygrometer that comes with the incubator!!!

Rule #3 See rules 1 and 2!

Rule #4 Stuff incubator full of eggs and start hatching

I think manufactures should save themselves and the end consumer some money and skip adding the horrible thermometers.

Lowdown on insurance of shipped eggs.... What does the seller have to do? and how do we know what cost to insure for, and Oz you said something about package deal including shipping only way to buy insurance. I just send out brahma eggs and she said most are rolling air cells, not insured. But can we really prevent anything like that? I don't think so, I think if the box is smashed and eggs are broken.... thoughts?

If buyer is willing to pay extra for insurance what is the correct way in handling, and does that fee have to be included in price too? I know that USPS has changed a few policies and will issure if its done correctly, I had added that link a week or so ago, I can attempt to find it.


EDITED to add, priority has free up to $50. insurance so she is partial covered??? but for what?
