INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Jessimom]

I wonder about my post office.....got a call earlier that a package was being held. I only had the tracking # for an incubator I ordered, so when my mom picked up the box, and they gave her an incubator, I didn't question it. But I got the tracking number for the eggs sent to me tonight at 6:30. It showed "out for delivery". I called the post office (they closed at 5;30) not expecting anyone to answer. But, someone did. I asked if there was a box of eggs there for me. They put me on hold for 15 minutes and came back and said, yes, we called you about this. I said, I know you called. I sent someone to pick it up and you gave them a box. They didn't know to pick up two boxes.

I said is there anyway for me to come pick it up tonight. He said for $100 I'll meet you at the back door. I said, how about a dozen eggs? He said "sold! I'll even waive the $100".

So, for a dozen unfertilized eggs, I get to pick up my box of fertile eggs, 90 minutes after they closed.

That's funny!

That is very, very strange.

That goes against my compulsion to line things up.

Oh yes - usually people (including me) actually initially get and keep them for meat (because they taste so good and generally good sized). Size is always going to vary depending on source like any breed - some of mine were smaller than I'd like - they were culled, big ones kept to breed. Eggs are the bonus, but they lay well. I live somewhere very hot, so that's the added appeal for me. 

Come visit us over on the Naked Neck thread. We're a nice group (and we even have a color genetics geek on tap over there!), and we cross post a lot on the Breeding for Production thread. Chickengr has a NN hen who is 11 pounds!

No worries, I didn't shed a tear over them and I look at it as a learning experience, so no need to feel bad for me or apologize. Tell you what, if ever I'm looking for sympathy, I'll let everyone know.
