FEB HATCH-ALONG THREAD ...COME JOIN US.... EVERYONE!

[Roxannemc]

I know and appreciate the info, I have just never hatched shipped eggs, in a egg carton or with whacky air cells. I'm keeping hands off, but sitting real close (bator in on my night stand lol) and listening to it chirp at me every now and again. Now I'm just hoping some others will join in the chirping!! Have 7 in there due to hatch tomorrow. Come on babies!!!

Enjoy the show!!!

My eggs are at day 14 and it looks like 4 are developing and one is not. These are Maran hen to an EE roo, so it's kind of hard to see what is going on from candling them. But at least there is development in 4 of them. I would be happy with 4 chicks from our first hatch.

Congrats on chickies Cheryl!!

Can I vent? I have orders coming from other ppl on this site as well as eBay and all are expected to arrive Monday. Anyhow I bought some BIN silkies yesterday mid day bc it said they were ready to ship with an arrival date as early as Monday Tuesday the latest. So I paid. Then the guy messages me to tell me he will start collecting and should have enough ready in 4 days. I explain that I was under another impression they were ready to ship and that I am under a time deadline. He says well I can cut them half silkie and half buff Cochin. I say, ok, we'll see whatever gets laid today and tonight, and just go ahead and cut them with Cochin so I get them in time still. No word all day. Little but ago I send a message asking how it went today and what ended up getting shipped, and he replays a few ago and says not enough, and now the storm is coming in (he is in IL) and says he will wait and collect more over the next few days and ship Monday or Tuesday....I explain I am having buyers remorse now bc by the to,e his eggs get here, they will be needing to go on lockdown around the time the others are hatching, and I could risk losing them bc of the temp/humidity spike. (Really I am not sure but it sounds like a bad deal ok?) anyhow I said, bc of the ad being misleading it would be ideal if he refunded my $$, and now haven't heard anything back.

if he doesn't respond within a day or 2 file a report w/ ebay stating you tried to get the refund after messaging him due to his lack of clarification. Sorry it didn't go well for you on that
