do I have the right to be upset?

I agree.. And am sorry you have to give up some of the babies
when you didn't know you had too.. But maybe she, like you
thought that you had a different agreement and you both
didn't understand the deal between each other. But post some pics
of the babies and we can help you pick some good ones

It is going to be really hard to let these babies go. Everytime I have a hatch I get really attached to them. Its like being a mother all over again. lol

I just feel really used! here I am turning the eggs 3 times a day staying up at night to make sure they hatch okay and feed them and BOOM this!

You know, sometimes people misunderstand things. I certainly would be upset because I wouldn't want to give away my babies. Maybe you should just bring it up and if it really is just a misunderstanding, she might let you just keep the chicks, then you save your relationship with your neighbor and get to keep the chicks, that certainly would be worth bringing up the conversation instead of just letting it go and being upset. Hope it works out for you.

I'm sure it did! When you were expecting something totally different to come out of her mouth like, "Wow! You have had a great hatch!", instead of getting that response. So sorry.

Here is what I would do, Tomorrow morning you and two others drop bye and sit at there table and say you want at least 7 eggs made into omlettes, and a coffee. Make sure you have a look on your face that looks like your so excited about eating. Drop off the chicks at the same time. If the neighbour says anything about feeding you half the eggs then you got your part of well your getting half the chicks with a smile on your face. I think it would be funny and get your point across at the same time.

Could you hatch some different ones for her and keep these?

I would be upset, but before I really let it get to me, again, I would just be honest. It is really hard work to hatch eggs.. and you are right, you have been providing for them, feeding them, loving them.. ect. Just start the convo off with .. you have something that is bothering you, and go from there. Maybe they dont understand how hard it is to hatch eggs.. Tell them that you dont want them to get upset.. but that you think that there was a misunderstanding.. and that you have invested way more into those babies then a dozon eggs to eat.. Heck, you never know, they may offer to pay you.. or give you more eggs to hatch for them.. They are cuties!

I dont know... how i reacted depends on how close i was to the person.
Are you SURE nothing was ever mentioned about, "if you have a good hatch, i'll take some of the babies".. or something like that?
If not.... then no, i would not give her any of the chicks. Shes just wrong. Period. And i would not let anyone use me like that.
Hatching is not easy, and its expensive! 'Bators can be a big draw on your electric bill... i know my bill went up when i was hatching.

Hahahhaa, I was thinking that too... ORORRRR.. I would just go down to the feed store and buy her some and say here ya go... She would never know the difference!..
