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

[Maah]

HOLD FOR PICK UP does NOT mean drop it off half crushed on my doorstep in the RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

having an angry moment here after washing my hands off from broken eggs!!!

What?!

PO. Stands for Post Office AND ****** Off. Sometimes I wonder if they do that stuff on purpose. Sorry about your eggs! What kind were they? How many... were they all broke?

 

[gapeach717]

they were eggs from Kizanne on here. Luckily she sent me a bunch of extras (I ordered 12, I got 17!) I have 4 broken (I thought I had three at first)so I still got an extra! But STILL and the lady at this PO is SUCH a jerkface!!! She sat and questioned me for 10 minutes about WHY i would show up BEFORE i got the slip in my mailbox and I explained that i pay a LOT for priority shipping and when it says at the facility i show up reguardless. she says "well, we get lots and lots of pallets of packages shrink wrapped in the trucks and just bc it says on your phone (i corrected her and said email) that the package is THERE it doesnt mean it is processed. So I said, well, I paid for faster delivery, and if MY package is on THEIR property, i want it...NOW. (by this point I was over being spoken to the way she was) She finally went back to look and came back to tell me that my mail carrier was actually there and said there was no packages there for me, but he had just delivered 4 to my house. ***??? I was so mad when I opened up my poor broken eggs. All I could think is they never even got the chance. SO MAD!!

oh, and they are BLRW, Delawares, and Ameracaunas

She is SO CUTE!! I'm so glad you have a cute little bundle there.

Sorry about Abby too. Keeping my fingers crossed over here that Bebe has a friend to snuggle with soon! I love the mix! Once my next batch of Silkies comes out, we're going to put in Americauna / Light Brahma mixes!

Good luck with the rest of your hatch! You're doing great.

Thanks so much!!! I have some 5 week old Silkie chicks too I'm trying to fluff them out more so they can get out of the brooder.

I have a tiny Silkie that is just a little bigger than Bebe... if she doesn't get a buddy soon, should I put the little Silkie in with her? Just a thought...

Did you take pictures of the mess? You should, and take it to the post office and show the lady. Though she probably wouldn't care.

Glad you still got a good number to set though. Phew!

i got pics! especially the big HOLD FOR PICKUP sticker!!

Gapeach,
I am very sorry about your eggs and the way you were treated....
You should be treated with respect.My eggs box was a mess and my husband said he thinks it is because
workers are mad about not being helped by congress.............

Who knows.but it is very upsetting after we have paid so much and waited on pins and needles.

I am really just chcecking in and keeping up with everyone hatching.
My eggs have only been in since Saturday.
I had set a few Serama eggs.Trying our a new roo............and one of my hens went broody...
so I pulled the eggs out and gave to her...............I swear she is smiling..........
Good hatching everyone

HELP!! My 1st hatch!! number 3 wanted to beat #1 & 2, but when can or do I need to help her get out? I feel like I should help with that one big piece. I've heard her peep in there, but nothing has been happening for about an hour. Is she just taking a rest or does she need help?

DO NOTHING.... let it hatch on its own!
