Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[tdhenson86]

I'm grumbly, grumbly....okay, angry. My debit card has been hacked. They stopped a few transactions, but missed nearly $500 worth! So the bank and I are having long conversations. Oh, joy. And until it's straight and I have a new card and can adjust some accounts, I'll have to hold off on swapping, too! Grrrrr. That's the part that made me mad. They messed with my swapping! I'm actually grateful it's no worse than it is. I've heard horror stories of thousands of dollars being charged before being caught, so $500 is looking pretty cheap. But.....they messed with my swapping!!!

Oh no!!! I hope they get it figured out soon for you!

You might not know you had them. Honestly every chicken I have gotten that was an adult that was outside had at least mild mites, even if not all the owners noticed. I give everyone who comes or goes from here invamycian.     I  don't look for bugs, I look for egg cases . I ALWAYS find them, and I do admit they are a pita.  My big birds dustbath but silkies don't do it very well.  The big girls get a few, then bath em off, then get more in a few weeks. 

 The interesting thing is I have processes roos and not found mites, but do see some of the cases anyway.   (now that I think of it i have never seen a mite on a processed bird) so I know they  get rid of them themselves  fairly easily.
I was on the receiving side of this one once.  I sent the right address, shipper lost it and used paypal address without checking with me.  I could not get the eggs rerouted or changed in any way, and the po she sent em to was the main po in San Jose, so no way to get someone to locate something I KNEW was going to the wrong place, ugg( she also took the address wrong off paypal that didn't help either)

PP just did not save the address changes I made when we moved. Since no one else had used it I didn't even know it was wrong.

The moral to the story is don't ship w/o confirmed address. Ever, Ever, Ever..  It ALWAYS comes back to bite you.  He doesn't reply? Email back again.  Problems are the nature of the shipping business,   so always double check.  That is one of the big reason I  print postage at home . Not only is it 10% off, I  know in advance if there is an issue with the address.   
I did not know that! They should make it easier to change the fricking address! We had to change the entire pp to do it, it kept going back to old. 
Emus require extreme fencing, AND  a lot of people recommend electric fencing.   I wanted them until I read about the famous 1500  dental bill from an affectionate  emu bump.  They knocked out CROWNS for fun. Aarg. 

 That is an animal that needs a serious commitment.
If a 14 week old silkie layed, clone that thing and sell it em mass, they are usually 7-9 months, some up to a year. 
I use the rubber shelf stuff and clip it  on  take it off and wash.  
I think the brinsea site has  dinged  incubators? One of their 20's for 100 bucks or so?  I didn't get one but I saw it on this  thread somewhere

ok, do you have an app that looks in multiple areas on cl or do you hand look? Id LOVE to find something that will look in more areas then just California. 


Hope everyone is doing well, its been a crazy busy week here!

If I told ya then I'd have to sent my girls to eat ya.

Search all Craigslist.............I'm sending the skinny ones first........and if you sneak something I want I'm sending the mean ones too
