Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Well, your business is of course your business, you are an adult, your decisions, and the consequences for them are yours. I have never been the most tactful of individuals and I do try but it doesn't come naturally to me. My intent was only to impart the seriousness of what you could be walking into, and yes, only with good intentions at heart.

I am pretty passionate about this particular issue, I am going through something really unfortunate myself, I just bought a whole flock of adult birds, yes, spent a lot of money to purchase and have nine birds shipped to me from out of state. Luckily I knew enough to quarantine, because right out of the box there was eye swelling, and I'm waiting on the culture to confirm but the vet said it looks like mycoplasma. Thank goodness I quarantined and have been practicing biosecurity because otherwise my whole flock could have been exposed and I could be looking at having to euthanize every single bird I own rather than just the nine. Even though I have only owned them for a short time it is still a devastating thing to go through and I am heartbroken, disappointed, frustrated, angry, etc etc, all of the above. So I apologize, I meant every word I said but my emotion coming through wasn't meant to hurt you.

 

Oh I am SO sorry your new birds are sick. When will the test results be in? I know it isn't likely, but I hope that the vet is wrong and it is just something very minor and treatable. I had a scare lately that turned out to be nothing of concern, but I was very forlorn thinking my flock could have been exposed to something. I'm saying a prayer for good news for you. What breed are your new babies? g

RedBrushFarm, I am very sorry for your loss and that today has been a sad one for you.

When I read your post earlier, I had just stepped away from my boys for a breather. They are 15 and 9 and we have really been struggling with the 2 of them not getting along. Sometimes things just need to be put into perspective.

You, Stephanie and your family are in my prayers today.

well it jumped just not as high as I would've thought!

Also on another note~ How does everyone package their eggs? I received some that I purchased for a rather decent sum of money and they were really poorly packaged IMO. Three have large obvious cracks. I haven't candled yet so I don't know what the air cells or if any others have cracks. Really unimpressed seeing as I paid over $100 plus shipping. 

Oh no! Not the Bresse eggs?!? Gasp! :O

I check the swap thread like 20x per day and still haven't been able to get a second swap claimed!! Ha ha. Seems to always end on a breed I don't have and I'm on a strict no new breed policy unless I course they are orps or lav Marans!! Ha ha. You Guys are quick on the draw. I need my phone to scream at me every new post!!! ;-)
