Making the most of it.

What a horrible mess this morning was... think I lost my voice from yelling at the boys... they are all gone now for a time anyway. Sitting here, just waiting for when my sis can drop by and pick me up to head to the farm today. Everything still looks good in the bator. 99 degrees... 37 percent humidity.. think I will probably raise that number a bit.

Reallllly need a nap. I think that is partially why I am a grumpy butt today.... but instead I will get my eggs, set them and drink some beer until everything else becomes dim. LOL

The process is as follows.

1)You place your order with the breeder, who in turn gives you a ship date (anywhere from next day to 6 months, depending on the breeder, availability, weather, how close to quitting time it is if on a Friday, etc.
2)The breeder calls to tell you the ship date has been delayed for one of the above reasons.
3)Your chicks arrive at the Post Office, where they sit for the rest of the day
4) On the day after shipment you continuously monitor the online tracking information, which never changes
5)After being handed off from one P.O. hub to another along the way (because UPS or FEDEX can't be trusted, evidently), your birds finally arrive at your local        P.O. (or a P.O. somewhere,  hopefully).
6)You are notified of your birds' arrival & availability for pickup, depending on how close to quitting time it is, especially on a Friday.
7)You proceed to the P.O. to claim your shipment. The P.O. personnel can readily identify which box is yours, they simply grab the up-side-down box with the most damage
8) You return home, where you open the box & are greeted by your new, hungry, thirsty, stressed, well-shaken (but not stirred) charges

Don't mind me, I was just rambling while things were super-slow this morning. I tend to get bent out of shape over the things people have to endure from the postal service. I guess for every bad experiece there's also a good one, and I hope yours goes off without a hitch.
 


Just got back with the eggs... This did not go as planned.. What should have taken 10 minutes took about an hour... with them shaking the whole time because my brother in law got lost on the way home. The eggs weren't packed well but that is my fault, I should have brought something to take them home in... or at least paper towels to cushion the ride. Long trip,but they are here, finally.... Lets hope for the best.
