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

[kajira]

Ok, I'm in a pickle.
I need to get the geese from the post office, they were supposed to be here, today, but were not here.

I need to call metzer farms, to see if they shipped them this week. I got an email when I made the order, but they never tell you when they actually ship them and never give you a tracking #.

I'm concerned about rescheduling my apt for the birds, that may not still be here tomorrow... but if I go, my labs are at 8am, if I left by 9am to drive back home, I could be there around 130ish to get the birds from the post office, a few hours wouldn't kill them all, right???? I'm just worried they'll be weak from being in the post office an extra day to begin with, and then a few more hours I asked the post office guy if they'd give them some water for me until I could get them, but he said he didn't think he could do that. I don't know what to do, I guess I can cancel my dr's apt and try to reschedule it for friday, but they really needed me back on thursday to make sure my levels were rising appropriately, 48 hours apart

Good morning sallys house. @BantyChooks and everyone that's interested. I only had five eggs in the bator . One duck egg and for chicken eggs. But they all hatched. Thanks for all the help last night with the chick that piped on the wrong end. If it hadn't been for y'all I would have killed that chick

That's aWESOME!

I don't know what to tell ya. If it were me, I'd keep the appt. The additional few hours would probably not be the difference even if they are in rough shape and already late, and you need to get those labs on time.

But that's just me.

Tragedy? All is well as long as the dux lives.

So wrong, so wrong, I assume living in the VWN has frozen your neurons and they do not fire in the correct order.

Is there anyone you can call to pick them up? Would the post office let anyone else pick them up or would they prefer they die?

Hard to believe any human cannot or would not just give them a drink of water,, of course they are webbed, I might have to rethink this all..

 

[BantyChooks]

that'll work too LOL.

now you know that you have given me correct advice a lot more than once.

Doubt it, but thanks

i have no one else to pick them up I just need them to get a little dish of water, they can survive a few hours with out food, i'm guessing.
