I'm looking for Silkies to hatch

Date sort Score sort
I'm gonna be breeding a bunch of Silkies soon, I might be able to arrange something. Where's your location?

I'm in the Augusta, Georgia area. I'm happy to pay for extra cushioning in the packing and for overnight or two day shipment as well as for the eggs, of course. I just love this breed.

Okay, I'll have to discuss this with my parents first.
Last person I sent eggs to put me on ignore for no reason, so now I don't know how the eggs I sent him did.
 
Be careful on mailing eggs for hatching. Eggs wont break with great packing efforts but nothing protects the air cell from rupturing. Id love to purchase some silkily hatching eggs too but Im looking for some near SF California. Not going to buy mailed eggs again. When I did all air cells ruptured so none hatched. Mailing services do not pay attention to request to handle packages carefully; they take such notices as a dare.

I know, no worries.
Yes mail people can be such gorillas.
 
Unfortunately I know this to be true. I have a friend who worked at the USPS mail distribution center in Oakland, CA and he told me exactly why all the eggs had broken air cells, what the packages go through on their trip through the system. "Water-fall" like drops and of course the carriers themselves. I am hoping to find silkie eggs close enough by me that I can pick them up. I hate to order chicks as I dont like putting the poor things through the trip either.

Good luck, I hope you find you're looking for.

I am selling Silkie chicks this Spring, & I do have an ad up in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum if you wanna check it out for more info?

I understand how you feel about shipping the birds, or eggs.

Well, glad you're interested in my Silkie chicks.

It would be nice if there was better ways of transporting, or shipping items to one place too another with less risk of damage.
