EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[ChickenCanoe]

Imagine that this is Priority mail and the chicks that took 3 days were shipped Express.

I have my eye on some turkey eggs. If I do I’m going to ask if they’ll ship overnight FedEx. Much more expensive but at today’s prices for good, relatively speaking, eggs it’s worth it. Not even sure that FedEx does overnight anymore or with something like eggs.

@Akrnaf2 at what angle do I sharpen the knife you sent. My sharpener will hold any angle.

Hello P.
If I remember your knife profile...... It was around 15°

Thank you. Doesn’t need it yet, but wanted to be ready.

I can't believe USPS is still moving so slow. I thought it would clear up after the holidays but about a week ago, I got my bills for December (as in due around Christmas). Thankfully, I just pay online and didn't even realize they were late. My customers on Etsy are dealing with packages taking a week or so to get to them now when it used to take 2-3 days!

Well..they are semi close by. I'm in Utah, the eggs are in Texas.

Ok, feeling better. View attachment 2502498

That's better. Delivery February 3rd would be unacceptable. I don't know what I'm going to do about shipping chicks.

The Pony Express arrived today. My 9 1/2" X 12 1/2" flat rate priority mail envelope arrived. It took 8 days to go from Moravia, NY to Indianapolis. It took another 8 days to go the last 250 miles to here.
The Pony Express would have been MUCH faster.
