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

[cochins1088]

Warning! this is a totally stupid question! what's the difference between a sizzle and a frizzle?

My understanding is that a frizzle is a chicken with the frizzle gene which causes feathers bend outwards.

A sizzle is a frizzle cochin silkie cross. They have frizzled feathers and the characterisitcs of a silkie.

ok...............SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......... HERE IS MY LETTER.... Yes I know Im a wuss, but a diplomatic wuss

and I can always still send a more forceful letter if she does not want to make things right after I have been more than nice about it, and then I wont feel bad at all no matter her reaction.... but I figured Id give her a chance

so here it is

"The eggs did arrive and are in perfect condition, however, I am concerned about their size and the amount of poo that is on three of them. They are almost half the size of my sebright bantam eggs and I have certainly never had a standard size hamburg lay such small eggs. My hamburg eggs (if these are batam chicken eggs, you might want to mention that?) are 3 times the size of these eggs. ***If these eggs are from standard size hamburgs then are they from young birds, or do your birds just lay super tiny eggs?*** (maybe re- word that? "Are these eggs just from young standard size hamburgs, or are they possibly from bantams, or do your birds just lay very small eggs?") Or could they be from bantam hamburgs? As I do not see how these could hatch and grow to a normal size... Also 3 of them have a (significant amount?) *good amount* of poo on them and I am concerned about putting them in the incubator with my other eggs, for fear of contamination. I will have to clean them off, which is not something I was expecting (or wanting) to have to do when purchasing such expensive eggs from a reputable breeder such as yourself. I came to you for these eggs because I could not find standard size citron hamburgs anywhere, (even though) the bantam size is readily available and for much less. Please let me know you thoughts on this, as for right now I am at a loss. I *had hoped to* (I was planning on) come (ing) back to you for your Isabel Brahma eggs, but now I am worried that I would be equally disappointed in them as I am *the* ( with your shipment of) citron hamburg eggs -too small and too dirty. I do know that some times *crazy* (unfortunate?) things can happen, and that this may not be the normal (usual or typical?) quality of your eggs, and I would like to give you a (the) chance to show me that this is the case (for this shipment.)
Thank you for your time and I look forward to resolving this matter.

-Ann."

comments???????????????

It looks very very good, and I love the way you are handling the matter. I fixed some grammatical mistakes, and also added some suggestions.
I noticed you forgot to add the word "with" in the sentence "but now I am worried that I would be equally disappointed in them as I am ___ the citron hamburg eggs."
Also, the "to's" need two "o"s.

I love proof reading things, and some of the suggestions are probably unnecessary.
