Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Have two packages already to go and I pay for the postage online and go to print the shipping labels and my printer ran out of ink!

Oh Murphy and his law!

Oh what a bother! I guess I'll just have to drive over and pick them up for me. They will just have to do a claim later. Yeah, that the ticket!

pssst. ... Think it'll work? I'd take a miracle.

Hey - Some of us gals can take care of ourselves. I can shoot as well as any guy I know. I've killed many a critter in the hen house. I was raised on the farm and continue to take care of unwanted company in the hen house. If I don't catch them to transplant, I can dispatch them as well. Never put it on a resemue though, dont think its a sought after skill 

I'm with you Redbrush I am a good shot as well and very protective of whats mine when it comes to predators. Took care of 16 unwanted predators this summer/fall and sure there will be more next year. My dad only had girls but i was never a girly girl. My DH is a very lucky man to find a girl as skilled as I am...

You know you're addicted to chickens when you start singing a well known song the wrong way:

"Don't cha wish your chicken was a bagawk like me?  Don't cha wish your chicken had a beak like me?  Don't cha.... don't cha?
Don't cha wish your chicken had a craw like me?  Don't cha wish your chicken had a run like me? Don't cha... don't cha?"

(yes I've been singing this all day)

LMFAO.......thanks now that's stuck in my head! My guys are in for a real treat today stuck in the jeep with me.

That's when I learned about refilling my ink cartridges. I bought a 8oz. bottle of black ink off of ebay for like $10 and now if I run out I just refill the cartridge and I am good to go.

^ same here. I bought the whole kit, 6 bottles of ink and 6 refillable cartridges for $28. I never have a problem with the ink- but I do have a hard time printing off my phone. My printer is Wifi enable (it also creates its own wifi signal to connect with my phone, since I don't have wifi) but I have to use an app to print, and if I can't see the actual shipping label on the website (like on eBay) I can't print it. I thought about creating auctions for a cent just so I can save a dollar on shipping, but that sounds like more trouble then it is worth!

Me too - It is so much cheaper but also a must if you live as far out in the country as we do. It is the pitts to need to print and have to wait until the stores open and then drive 30 miles into town. Just a side note - PUT IT HIGH in a cabinet where your 4 year old niece can't use it for finger painting

It's a great day for hatching!! Eight of my ten Blue Barred Rocks from DMRippy hatched through the night and the last one is pipped, and I have four SFH from Bhep pipped also! I was a tad worried about the SFH but it looks like they will be right on time unlike the rocks who were early, lol.

For those of you who want to have good hatches with shipped eggs, I can't recommend DMRippy's rocks highly enough, this is the third 90% hatch I have had with them, and my Bhep eggs are 9 of 12 surviving, awesome

Good morning all! I'm off to tick off some hens. Moving some roosters around.
