Sooo.... I decided I needed some eggs in my incubator and did a little shopping on ebay. I found a listing that I NEEDED and bid on it, and also placed a few really low bids on some other listings. I figured I'd probably be outbid on most of them. Much to my surprise, I won FOUR different auctions. On top of that, all of the sellers that I bought from were generous with the extras and none of the eggs were broken in shipping. I paid for 38 eggs and ended up with 51! They all fit in the incubator, but just barely, so my question now is, should I be worried about the incubator being so crowded?
On a side note, I'm pretty sure that the post office staff think I'm insane. Over the course of 3 days, the voicemails I received went from, "This is a message to inform Ms McGill that her package is available for pickup", to, "Erin, there is ANOTHER box of eggs here for you". It probably did not help that one of the sellers had labeled her box "CAUTION: LIVE EMBRYOS" in gigantic letters on several sides. That one definitely earned me some looks from everyone I passed on my way out to the car.
