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

[ozexpat]

I give up. The whole reason I got this order of eggs was for the CLs. I candled once it got dark. The one I couldn't tell what was going on earlier? Day 6 quitter. The other, the cracked one still has no internal pip.
I'm going to give it two more days. But I'm not optimistic. I'm cursing a mental blue streak here. I'm soooo disappointed. I really really wanted some legbars. All that money for nothing. I know that shipped eggs are a gamble, but not even one out of four? Really??
Sorry for the rant. I'm still angry about losing a chicken today to a feral cat. I have no legal recourse to deal with the feral cat problem. I just have to let the stupid &%^$*( *(&*^*%s kill my livestock. I hate it here. I hate the corruption and laziness of the bureaucrats that run this town. I hate the incompetent postal workers that play hockey with packages marked fragile, leave things that are supposed to be signed for on the ground next to the mail box, and deliver things days late.
I JUST WANTED SOME STUPID LEGBAR CHICKENS. IS THAT TO FRIGGIN MUCH TO ASK??? I saved for MONTHS to get these eggs, and now I have essentially diddly squat to show for it.

(ok, i feel kinda better now)

i have a legbar rooster in my apartment right now. once it matures, me and hillflowerranch will get together and ship you dome legbar eggs for a penny each plus shipping

you will get your legbars by fall

Oh hell Oz, now I'm crying. Today has been one crummy day. Other stuff too, not just the chickens. (I work fast food. Need I say more?) I think I'm getting days off, but then I gotta work anyway. I show up up on time and do the work of 3 people, because 5 people never bothered to show up, crummy customers, idiot managers...the works. Oh the things we do for an education. Then to come home and have to do all the mom and wifey stuff too, and THEN the cat, and THEN the eggs. I'm just so tired.
THank you so much Oz. Some days life bites, and its so amazing when people come along and remind you that life isn't all crap.

knittycat;

I took 8 eggs of marans to the philippines to start breeding. 1 hatched. It was worse than none for me. Same thing with australorps. I hatched 1. uggg. same seller, 7/8 RLBW hatched. all the lorps and marans that did not hatch were infertile.

I feel your pain.

Hang in there

*sigh* You're a gem Oz. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I think I need some sleep. I have to work tomorrow, early (I was supposed to have it off, hence the frustration today)
Good night every body. I'll be better in the morning.
