Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[CelticOaksFarm]

rbaker......so sorry the FWM didnt hatch better. Did you incubate them on their sides or standing up? We have a group in lockdown now that is the first of a test incubation style I am working on with them. Trying to find the sweet spot to gain the best hatches with a bator. Oh and we have two white girls that when they raise the feathers on their heads they have black stripes, lol so you never know it may gain some black as an adult. the black lays flat like the white feathers (incase you thought it might be a crest of some kind)

I do live in a small town and I think that there is just someone completely sadistic somewhere down the line. My mail lady will wait until I'm home to deliver eggs if its freezing (which it usually isn't). My UPS guy delivers stuff to my work even if its addressed to my home, just so I get it sooner (he started doing this when I started ordering Koi online). I just think its the idiots who work in the sorting facilities, they must put the egg boxes on a paint shaker or something.

Its not all bad though, I do have some BCMs from Pappa which are progressing nicely, I guess the paint shaker guy was out sick that day.

Well, today was a bad day. It started out ok but really has gone out with a bang. I got stuck on a two hour call this afternoon. During this time my cell phone kept ringing. I finally got off the call at 530, and listened to my voicemail. Turns out that my son had gone into one of his autistic fits. Screaming, throwing things, breaking furniture (he is a big kid, 5'11 at 13). It has been many years since he has been like this, and I was shocked to hear this. I tried to call his teacher, but of course it was too late. Then I texted my DH to see if my son had told him about it. He hadn't but told my DH that he hadn't been taking his meds for at least a week (I suspect my ex's influence here with his anti big pharma stances). Now I have to find out how to get him back on his meds. I scheduled an emergency therapy session for tomorrow, and I have to try to convince the school not to boot him out. I thought we were done with this phase of his life. Apparently his meds help him to live a normal life; more than I suspected. I can't stop crying, I had to leave work early as I could hardly function. My whole existence with my son has to do with being able to believe that he will be able to live a normal life in the future. I take it really hard when something removes some of that hope.


To top it off, tonight was the night I set to float test the eggs I had set. All were high floaters, no movement. They are two days late on fresh, not shipped eggs, so I wasn't expecting them to pass any test. I opened them up and they all died a week ago when the bator spiked to 104. It also spiked to 109 (why would an incubator even go that high!!!!!) I am not hopeful for the eggs that are in the other bator. They were in Spike when it went to 104. I am still holding out hope though. The new bator has been great. Steady temp at 99.5. No spikes or anything. I feel like crying.


Sorry for the rant...

Thank you.

Yeah it wasn't a real thought out plan, just a thought. My mom isn't real thrilled about my chicken addiction so not sure I really want her knowing quite how many eggs I am getting!!

She only knows I am getting enough to fill one incubator she doesn't know that I had to buy two more!

No problem on the confirm. #. I will refrain myself from saying not so nice things about our sorting center in Hampden.

Someday I plan to run that place he he he BTW it's only 3 hrs away but things "miss the truck" all the time and take an extra 24 hrs to get here!! I will be looking for the package!

Actually if you used my paypal address to ship the label it will automatically notify me of a tracking number.

better go to bed I have to wake up at 4 am to pick up some Cochins!!
