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

[RaspberryMommy]

I know, just a major lesson learned.... now I dont know how they will deal with replacements or cash refunds.... monday comes soon enough Thanks everyone

I just called on my chicks this morning to give them my final death toll; out of 25 I had 8 die as of a few hours ago. (Each day I loose one or two!) It really makes you, as a buyer, feel guilty for ordering them in the first place. I am so glad I had the foresight to order 10 extras just for warmth. You expect the hatchery to take the needed precautions with heat packs, extra chicks or bedding, delaying shipping, etc. I found out from the PO that when the truck came in on Friday morning the driver did not bring the chicks inside right away, he completely unloaded the truck leaving the chicks outside in the freezing temps. (That was the only day we had temps below freezing that week too!) My PO lady was not very happy with him for not taking the time to walk 5 feet into the building and putting them inside. What is wrong with people?! I am hoping we will NOT loose anymore.

Good luck with your survivors Sally. (I have not finished reading your posts so I am not updated on their status.)

eggs pulled from the bator!
Left container = 2 early deaths (amercauna eggs) and the rest my brahma inferts

Right containter = local eggs traded for Dark Brahma Roo~ serama, frizzle and silks inferts....

Told you I would clean house Oz! But I didnt think this much!

But at least my own cochin and silkies are 100% fertile!! How cool is that! now if I could get more than one egg a day!!

I just candle my eggs... Out of the 21, most look alive and developing. And there's only 1 infert. So far.... Thankfully the temp spike didnt hurt them too much
