May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

Duckies make a slow show. I would fiddle if I didn't have other stuff to keep me from constantly peeking. Water break... over now, gotta run.

So nervous and frustrated. My eggs that were supposed to be here today are not. Now I am stuck wondering where in the hells my box of eggs are. I almost sure when I get them the box will look like some played hockey with it!

Hopefully the seller will send a replacement

Doubt it their add says no replacement on eggs shipped. I will have to make a claim through the USPS

Hopefully they show up tomorrow in good shape!

I'm over here trying to remember if I turned the eggs at lunch or not. You'd think I'd be able to remember what I did in the last 3 hours, but apparently not...

It's been my experience that USPS is surprisingly easy to make claims with. That's a number of years ago when I was selling pottery on Etsy, so hopefully similar now. They also refunded postage if the entire order was destroyed. At that time the shipper could make a claim (or the recipient) but now I believe it has to be the recipient. It was really easy. I would get online, fill out the form and upload a photograph(s). They never refused one for me.

You made my day! Not because you forget but because I'm not the only one.

I take solace in your commiseration.

It's been a long day (and it's only 4pm!). I have a 3.5 year old human, she runs me ragged sometimes! I have alarms set for turning intervals but I'm not always able to run to turn them right when it goes off. Just can't remember for sure if I actually did it, or if I told myself I'd do it when I finished xyz and then....

Twelve of sixteen duck eggs externally pipped. The rest are internally pipped. I know this because like the infant I am, I candled them all this morning. I wish the would get a move on, but then those shells are pretty tough to breach...

Well you probably did it, but you could do it now. It won't hurt to give them an extra turn. I took out my turners because one is on lockdown and the other has more eggs by a lot than it was made for--but my geese weren't sitting on theirs and they had thirteen--I had eleven already, so that makes twenty-four in an incubator that's supposed to hold seventeen goose eggs. I've just been turning them whenever I think about it as long as it's been a couple of hours. I don't think the hen sets up an alarm on her smart phone.
