Quote: Yep, I looked at the post on the stolen ones, not the same brand and different pics too.

That would be great!

Hoping he calls one of us back and they aren't already sold!

Me, too!

Multiquote didn't work, but in regards to stolen, yes, these are Dickey and they were posted on the 15th.

Evening everyone. Haven't yet had a chance to catch up on posts, as I AM FURIOUS!!!!! I got eggs in today from papabrooder and from someone on a rare breed site. Of course papa's were packed wonderfully. As soon as I saw the other box I knew there was going to be trouble. Egg was all over the OUTSIDE of the SECOND BOX!

Now, she had messaged me to say she had sent 6 extras and that sometimes it didn't turn out to pack that many, but she HAD TAPED THEM WELL. So...18 eggs wrapped in napkins. Placed in a carton. Carton taped all the way around. It is obvious that the eggs broke when she taped the carton that tight. Carton placed on its back diagonally to barely fit in the box. Piece of newspaper on top and bottom. That box was taped shut and placed in another box the same size.

I have pics. Of the 18, nine were okay, but covered in egg goop and I wiped them clean with a wet cloth, but am out of oxine to clean them with. I'm hoping they don't have any bacteria to ruin them or papa's eggs in the incubator with them. One egg had a hole in the bottom, but the membrane was intact so we candle waxed it hoping it might make it. The other 8 were SMUSHED FLAT!!!!!

Yes, I paid for a dozen. Yes, she sent extras. But I'm now afraid I will have trouble with bacteria and from horrible air cells since they shipped sideways on the 9 that are okay. I'm not sure if I should email her and tell her or if I should notify the site manager to tell them. Should I leave it alone? Do I need to clean these eggs with something else before they go in with Papabrooder's?

Here are pics...


Carton when I opened the box. The paper was all soaked around it. All the eggs around the tape end were broken.

Mushy mess.

Flat as a PANCAKE!

Sent eggs to ProfTi today: 9405 5036 9930 0335 0036 83 for swap 4716

Plumcreek is cleared to swap again!

DH is on a roll that's 2 in a row!!

Love the job DH is doing on the collages showing off the chickens!

(I might have to copy that idea for my own birds...

) And the birds aren't too shabby, either!

So sorry, that is a total shame. If people dont know how to ship eggs then they shouldn"t try

 

[TNBEARCHICK]

Thank u all for understanding, Puglady for your help and concern u can pick any breed I have and I will get it to you. Some breeds will take longer than others but they r yours

. No good deed should go unnoticed.

 

[Bettacreek]

To be honest, I don't know that I would have even attempted to save the remaining 9 eggs! Yuck! I've gotten cracked eggs before, but nothing that bad. Sheesh. Contact her with pics and ask for a replacement dozen, since the 9 are probably just as much garbage as the rest.

OMG! I am so sorry!!!

FWIW... this was my first time shipping eggs too and I hope mine fared better. But I did email the recipient and ask her how she wanted them packaged. Now I am even more nervous than I was....
