1st they were a mistake order that got sent to me, AND they arrived on Mon. so were probaly at the post office over the weekend, AND I had not planned for them so I had no where to put them SO they were given to friends with a still air incubator.. AND they still did not get set till that thursday ....

THEN the firends gave us them back saying the incubator was old and not working right and needed to much monorting and they were done checking the eggs every hour
they were right the still air incubator sucked... (wide temp swings)

THEN on day 4 I was able to move 4 of them to my good brinsea incubator and left the others in the still air incubator
THEN on day 14 (yeasterday) my hen went broody so I gave her the 5 remaining eggs that still looked to be developing

NOW I am just going to sit on my hands and quit pestering her!!!!

HATCHING EGG SELLERS TAKE NOTE The disclaimer that once they leave the sellers hands its up to fate is too overused and is a cover for truly bad shipping practices.. When i recieve damaged eggs or have a bad hatch rate from eggs that were packaged very well, i feel that the seller did thier best and things just didn't work out. On the other hand when i get eggs poorly packaged i observe how high my hatch rate is, often 0%, and really feel like the seller was too cheap or too lazy to take the right actions to protect my eggs. I am beginning to feel like there are too many sellers out there who are only profit oriented, when i find those sellers, i do not do biz with them again and i do my best to discourage others from purchasing from that seller. Maybe when those sellers lose thier biz from having a bad reputation they might eventually be forced into ammending thier bad habits, or maybe not. I have recieved too many shippments from shippers who package poorly, and when you complain, they say i am doing the best that i can,i take every precaution to package your eggs propperly.........NOT This from someone who didn't even wrap the eggs individually, but only packed the eggs in a single box with crumpled news paper between them. Its so frustrating! Thanks for A GREAT posting.....

Thanks

I always get refunds for poorly packaged eggs if they break. A threat to dispute in paypal always seems to work.

I also got a refund because I bought 12 purebred eggs of mixed breeds of crested birds and the seller did not bother to label them.

I dont mind paying for eggs but they better do or good job of preparing them.
