Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[TNBEARCHICK]

YYYYAAAaay! My Arkansas shipped choc orps hatched. 10 out of 12, if I knew then what I know now I'd rather spent my money with this seller than the boob from SC.
and Wyandotte chick, lol

I love chocolates!!! They are so cute! My chicks that I have hatched from my girls are extremely hyper though. When you open their cage they jump about 1 1/2 feet in the air and run around like.....well..... a chicken with its head cut off.

krafty, I don't have any Palms, the ones I have hatched I have sold...if no one else here has them to ship, check out Porter Turkeys, they have awesome birds...poults are 12.00 each. I don't know what they charge to ship but shouldn't be too bad and there's a live guarantee. So I am thinking that may be the best way for your hubbys friend to get the birds he wants.


My stupid Narrie hen, kept trying to set on one single egg, so I caught her off the nest yesterday and put some eggs I had in the bator in the nest...went out this morning and she was off the nest and had eaten one of the eggs

So I gathered the rest of them up and put them back in the bator, hopefully I got them in time.



And I got a message from the person with the Jubie eggs, and they have shipped out 5....

the PO won't be too hard on them.
Also received my Rhodes and Orps from GFF....not to figure out what kind of Orps they sent. I will post some pics in a bit and maybe you guys can help me figure it out.

yeah!! orps!!!

cheep with eggs? If you want a bunch of egg BUY THEM, these birds arent cheap to grow out, select the best (if any) to keep, to build a breeding pair, trio, flock. To feed, and then there is some breeds who individual birds cost a fortune to invest in for the "chance" to have something worth breeding. 

some breeds dont lay well, some breeds take FOREVER to grow out to even get egg 1. Before you call someone cheap, you need to look at ALL the factor that went into getting that single egg, let alone 3, 4, 6



Sorry but i get very upset when I see statements like that.

That wasent directed at anyone here. . .

It was in relation to someone who bought 3 eggs and then the seller tried to only give them 2.

No the seller gave OPTIONS, 2 now plus more when they returned, eggs when they got back from their trip ect. They didnt want to only send two and call it done and surely cant control laying they were counting on happening before leaving on a trip.

as far as having a new auction up...

IMO a 3 egg auction is like stealing (sorta) shipped eggs dont perform well on average anyways. So say you get a 50% hatch on 3 eggs (since you dont get half a chick you end up with 1 chick) so now you spent money and have 1 chick. What good is ONE of a breed when you need to grow out at minimum 10 to select one to be worth using to breed. Again just my opinion

I just read one of the most well-written articles I believe I have ever read. It is about a rodeo that Angola Prison in Louisiana does twice a year. It is a lengthy article, but well worth the reading. The warden says that 97% of these inmates are in for life and they must work hard to earn the right to attend the rodeo. They interview many of the inmates and you can tell they are sincerely sorry for their past and would give anything to help their children not to follow in their footsteps. The inmates sell things they have made (they must pay for supplies themselves-no tax-payer money) and earn money to send their children. They have raised thousands of dollars to pay for the daughter of an inmate to receive eye surgery, they build caskets and bury fellow inmates when they die, and they are working to receive education in HVAC, as well as other important skills. They also have a farm and grow the food that they eat.

Not to detract from the expense of birds here, but all was just talking about the fact someone could not even get a 3 egg order they paid for on rba. She isn't disparaging swappers or calling us chintsy.

I think the comment was taken a bit out of context and was not ment the way it is being taken.

^ that's what I meant.

it is a risk, I knew it going in...but luckily, I have at least four 6 week olds right now, and I am thinking the last picture in my prior post are Jubies, if they do well then if I get one or two chicks out of 5 eggs that they are sending then I will have ten or eleven...lol
