FFA hatching!! Quail are reproducing! WOOT!!!

I am kind of scared to count!

Quick count of what people said they would send is over 350 eggs.

That is just totally awesome! I guess I need to round up brooders, thankfully we have a lot of salvage 4X8 sheets of plywood in the barn

I have had 40 people (including a friend here in Marceline and myself) say they are sending something...WOW overwhelming. I mean speechless! What a great gang of people.

Honestly, this has been so humbling and so exciting and so thrilling to be a part of. You all cannot imagine how I am feeling right now to give these kids the gift of education on so many different types of incubating eggs and selling and possibly shipping live birds (me too on that education) This has touched so many people in so many different ways. AWESOME is all I can say!

I will collect what the girls give me today, and I still have yesterdays sitting here, will box them up, you should have them Saturday. I hope!

cool deal! I will be waiting

I'm not sure if I'll be able to get into town today, but I'll surely send them out tomorrow! My buttons are not laying much at all right now, but I'm getting at least a dozen eggs daily from the hens! One of my millies started laying yesterday too!

If I remember, it did not take too long to get from me to you last time did it? It will be fine!
Mille Fleur my favorite!!! They are the cutest little things!

 

[shelleyd2008]

No, I think it only took like 2 days. I just wish I could get there today. I might be able to, I think we need to go get some brake parts for my dad's truck. It is the only vehicle 'running' right now, and the brakes are not working worth a darn.

 

[Fudgie]

Well whatever you do....BE CAREFUL! No need getting yourself hurt because of brake failure just to ship eggs! LOL

UPDATE!! GOT EGGS Pictures to follow tonight!

BUCKEYEDAVE from OH sent 2/9 received today 2/12 Had 3 casualties the rest were fine. Not sure what happened but the side of the box had a scrape down it so maybe they got hit kind of hard. Keep your fingers crossed that they did not get shook up too much.

BOCK BOCK 2008 from IN sent 2/10 received today 2/12 Everything in tact.

CORancher from CO sent 2/9 received today 2/12 All arrived in tact and no issues. Which ones are which? Barnvelders and B/B/S Orpingtons?

Justhatchin from KS sent 2/11 received today 2/12Everything in one piece.

I will add the pics to this link tonight. WOO HOO!!!!

I thought I would show some pictures of shipping and packaging as I get some of these eggs. I will just keep posting on this one reply message so they are all together. Sorry I missed some of the others to put on here.

These were individually wrapped in bubble wrap and tissue paper too.
