Fairy Tail Farms English Orpingtons

Him is so chonky. I just want to give him a squeeze.

Almost a year old already!

By the way, I like the log he's chilling on. Clearly, he takes after his mom with the vertical exploration. I need some more fun stuff in the runs for them.

Thank you! Everything was stacked in that corner while we were doing the run roof, I'll have to get an updated pic, lots of stuff to climb on, and free when we go for a ride on our mule I'm constantly looking at logs to bring home

The first Fairy Tail Farms eggs are being shipped today.

@JacinLarkwell @Auntiejessi3 @AMM10 - It's been twenty years since I've shipped eggs, but I used the method I did back then. Each egg is wrapped in bubble wrap and secured with tape. A sheet of bubble wrap and a layer of packing peanuts goes into a medium mailing box. The eggs are placed on top of the popcorn, covered with popcorn, another sheet of bubble wrap and taped up. The medium box is then wrapped in bubble wrap. Bubble wrap and popcorn go onto the bottom of a large mailing box, and the bubble-wrapped medium box goes inside. Popcorn is packed around it, and bubble wrap goes on top, and then it is taped up. (Except someone is missing their top sheet of bubble wrap. It was on the counter when I got done. My roommate was talking to me and asking questions and trying to "help," so I just wanted the box taped up so they'd stop helping and forgot that top sheet. lol)

I've never had issues shipping the eggs like this before. Please let me know how they do when they arrive. Feel free to take pictures of the box and the process as you unwrap them. Feel free to curse me while you're trying to get through all the tape and bubble wrap. I'd rather you be pissed off than have an egg on your face. Fertility has been good, and feel free to use this thread for any updates.

If something is really wrong and you actually want to cuss me out, send me a pm or a text. lol

I'm mailing them in less than an hour and will get you all your tracking numbers through pm.

Are they leaving the post office you like or the one you hate?

You see this Moony? Colt freaking BEAT you at shipping eggs.

Sent your tracking number.

I took them to the Commerce Post Office on my lunch. They were very nice and said they'd be careful with them. They should leave on the 5 o'clock truck this evening.

I'm incredibly nervous about shipping eggs. I know I know how to ship eggs, but I just hope they all arrive to you unscathed. I'll be madder than a wet hen if none of them are broken, and they managed to addle the shit out of them like the eggs I get shipped to me. Pray your delivery person isn't dumb enough to hide your box in the garage, so you have to go on a quest to find where they left them. My favorite was on the trashcan in full sun at the end of the driveway, directly in line with my tire in the dark garage, so I nearly ran them over, and on the tailgate of the truck in direct sunlight.

Did we think that was going to turn out differently?

If these eggs show up all in one piece and people get chicks out of them I can take step by step pictures and video myself packing the boxes and host a seminar for Moony and others.

Meemaw? Do you want some Call duck eggs? They are laying, and I don't want to watch all my grandchildren die in their eggs, so I thought I could send you some to hatch so I can see how cute they are at your house. I can slip a goose egg or seven in there too. And some bubblegum face ducks.

I'll be calling them in the morning to have them hold them for pickup. That's what they did with the ones I got for my broody last year, left them on the trash can in the sun, smdh (maybe that's why your cockerel is a jerk, cuz he started life cooking in the Texas sun on a trash can, lmao)

Hopefully, they do that. My PO was supposed to hold them and didn't. I wrote hold on Jacin's box. I should have asked the rest of you. I'm sorry. Jaws mentioned it specifically, or I'd have asked. I'll have to make a little form that buyers can fill out with their address and billing info and stuff, and that way I've got that and all the special requests in one place. lol
