Right these are messages that have passed through myself and someone on ebay. They have several feedback regarding infertile eggs. please help.
"Extremely disappointed with the batch of eggs. I candled today and out of the 20 you sent 14 are infertile and one didnt have an air sack (which i have never seen before). Just so you dont blame the bator the 9 silver spangled eggs we put in with them are all ok.
Regards

"Obviously, as per listing, once left we can not control what happens in transit or with you. I would hope however you can get a trio out of the remainder in the incubator however. On the ones which are not fertile, I of course share your dissapointment, but can not share the liability as stated in the listing, you buy and we ship at your risk and can not be liable for the eggs once they leave us. Customers are always welcome to collect and avoid the courier system. However, on this occassion, if you return the ones that are not viable, and pay for postage, I will be more than happy to send on some more for you to try. Alternatively, if you want young stock, I will discount the amount you paid for the eggs off my normal prices for these birds.... I can't really say any fairer than that as it basically gives you your money back. Let me know what you prefer. More eggs or young birds. Thank you"

"
But then there shouldnt be over half of them infertile. How many young birds would you send out and how much P&P would you charge me?"
From them
"Fertility can be affected transportation, I would suggest that is what has happened as I can testify fertility has been 80%+, I wouldn't sell them overwise. I sell in 18s generally, so if only half are fertlie, and only half of them hatch, people should still end up with a trio for under £30.... That's my aim and no secret.
I charge £30/bird for cocks or £50 pair. I am happy to supply you as many pairs as you like for £20/pair, as I've hatched loads this year. Let me know"
thanks for input guys
