February 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[CluckNDoodle]

Most sellers will not file. I had the PO tell me the seller had to file for the lost package. The seller told me it was on me to file.

You can file it yourself online. They aren't very helpful with claims in the office but it's fairly easy to do on the website. I still feel it's poor business practice for the seller to not help you with it. I have a small business and the couple of issues I've had with the post office I made right because I feel like if anyone should be shorted, it's me, not the customer.

lol, Getting off my soapbox but I find it aggravating that customer service is so poor.

I lucked out with my PO being helpful for me when it comes to this type of stuff.

Right now I'm just disappointed that I didn't get the eggs on time and that the longer they are 'missing' the less likely they are to hatch, if they arrive in good enough physical shape to begin with ...

I don't know about y'all but every time I buy shipping eggs I go through the same struggles ... do or don't do, pros vs cons, ... i didn't pull the trigger on this purchase at a moments notice, I actually argued with myself and NO DON'T BUY had some seriously good points and valid arguments but DO BUY won out!

Arguing with yourself is hard work cause you have to represent 'reason' and 'want' equally well and wholeheartedly ... $75 for 3+ Eggs and $25 for shipping ...

The idea that I may now have to deal with the USPS to find some type of resolution is just annoying ... I am tired of being anxious, I don't like conflict or drama ... I just wanna watch eggs in my incubator grow and hatch and watch the peeps run around and make silly faces

Okay fine, I admit it ... I cannot stand most people and their attitudes I don't dislike all people, only the ones who act like their poo don't stink

Do you suppose the Sellers of shipped eggs suffer the same Anxieties and Nightmares as the Buyers?

Not a fan of humans myself.

Now for the question. Yes, I think some do. The ones that put their all into the birds.

So the eggs have been incubating for 5 days already! I've been candling for a few days now. Tomorrow or next day, I'll try and candle all of them to throw quitters and non developers. Every egg I've candled so far looks good except the Welsummer eggs. I candled all three tonight, saw one that appeared to have a blood ring, marked it and will check it again to be sure. The other two I didn't see anything for sure yet. Will check again.

Having bought shipped eggs multiple times with very mixed results, I share your sentiments!
I only just started shipping eggs myself and it’s also very nerve-racking as the seller. At least for me!

Darling chicks and what a good mama! She looks just like my Polkie. Mine has never gone broody though!

Final tally for this hatch was 7/9 that hatched and one died after hatch, the little malpositioned chick didn’t make it. It’s OK, it was very weak and I guess was not meant to survive. So 6 chicks this time, 3 paint and 3 black. Final hatch due February 16. Mixed Silkie and Polkie eggs.
Day 14 and candling tomorrow.

Sorry about your Drama-King

I got 5 black and 2 blue Jersey Giants this time, my first Jersey hatch is almost exactly 3 weeks older and the size difference is like

I have 5 Muscovy in lockdown right now but that’s probably the last thing I’ll be hatching for the next few months … kinda jealous of everyone else still putting eggs in their incubators
