do I have the right to be upset?

[heather454ss]

I have a great provider whom lives close to me that i usually buy eggs from to incubate. so when she offered me those eggs in exchange for the eggs they where going to eat I was excited.

We would talk here and there during the process of them being in the incubator and i would tell her that they are developing great and never once did she say anything that she wanted some. She would just make a comment "thats great!"

I guess I could offer her some of the eggs I put in my incubator today for when they hatch i will give her some of those.

If she hadn't already seen the babies that i hatched i would just buy some. But before she made her comment that she will be over tomorrow to pick up her half she wanted to look at them.

I am not going to let it stress me out. I am just going to do the right thing and give her her half and explain to her that I didn't think that was the deal.

She is not my favorite neighbor but we don't have problems and I would like to keep it that way.

but boy would I love to

lol

I hope everyone have a wonderful easter. thanks for letting me vent!

I agree with redhen - if she didn't say anything about it before, I wouldn't give her any! Tell her to get her own 'bator and hatch out her own babies! You hatched out these chicks and they're yours, not hers!

Get more fertile eggs from her.....put her to good use...lol

Hmmm,? Did you say that you'd be over for your half of the Deviled Eggs (or whatever) she made from the eggs she got from you?

You have to make lemonade out of this lemon situation. Be a good neighbor and offer to make the sacrifice to brood and feed them all for a couple more weeks. By that time you will have a good idea of which are hens and roos. Then you can dump off all the roos her way.

I agree with Benjoycl, get some more eggs and hatch them! What the heck, another reason to fire up the incubator, and this time make sure how many new chicks she want and how many you want, and go from there.

I think she thought the eggs she gave you would never hatch, and when they did she decided she wanted half of the chicks. Probably, if she had thought they'd actually hatch, she would only have given you half the fertile eggs she did. Anyway, I would just give her the chicks and say, "By the way, I didn't realize when you gave me the eggs to hatch in trade for eggs to eat that you wanted half of the resulting chicks." Just to see what she would respond with. I would keep 3 Araucana, 2 black star and 2 red star.

Some people will push as hard as you let them. I'd explain about the misunderstanding and the hatching process and keep the chicks. You DO have to live near her and if she wins this one it won't be the last time.

No -- but to be upset about her being a jerk is upsetting yourself over someone else's, well, jerkiness. What would I do? Knock on her door, hand her 6 chicks in a box without a word, and walk away.
