Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[madamwlf]

Question for you all:
How do I get 1 chick that hatches out fine, fluffs and dries out perfectly within a few hours. Then have another chick that hatches out minutes after the first one and is very wet but when it drys out is so sticky that it actually acted like glue and the poor thing was stuck to the hardware cloth and couldn't move? I dry incubated from day 1-18 (low 30's) and then upped it to 65% for lockdown.

I would say each egg isn't the same. Different location in the incubator and possibly one egg was better material to incubate then the other. Did that make sense? I've had that happen too.

Can you PM that to me? I have to print it at work since my printer is being a bitty and I'm sure to loose the post by tomorrow.

Well, I think I am cursed!!  First time I have ever sent live birds.  Sent 2 sets on Monday and 1 set on Tuesday.  None of them arrived on time.  Not one. What gives?   They leave Chicago and then are never heard from again.  I don't know how you guys do it.  Cause Im going crazy here. I don't think I will ever send birds again!!

I'm sure they'll make it safe and sound. I've never received them overnight...always took 2 days to get to me.

I have received chicks over night and half where dead. Today is day 2 for 2 of the sets. One was guaranteed for yesterday by 3 and the second was today by 3. Neither has been updated since very early Tuesday morning.

The 3rd set was guaranteed by noon today. And they didn't show up either. Going off the other 2 sets who knows when they will show up.

And I had to pay $150 for them all to be late. What fun.......

Oh and eggs I have coming. They are 3 days late too. Went from MO to CO when I live in IL. Then disappeared in CO days ago.

I have way more heart now for the people that do ship birds cause Im not going to do it again.

Did you send the birds East? There are some major bad storms going on out this way. And make sure you go get your money back for all Express packages that don't show up on time.

One set went east. One set went west. And the 3rd set was just going to Ohio
