The plywood wall is the back side. We would have to walk a long way around the loafing shed to get to that side of the coop.
I currently do the deep litter method and plan to continue that. I don't want to mess with cleaning the coop that often.
I don't know of anyone that offers any kind of guarantee or refund on shipped eggs. Every ad I've ever seen explicitly says there is no guarantee because they have no control over the shippers or your incubation method (even following something exactly doesn't mean you'll get a good hatch rate - trust me, I know). Shipped eggs are a toss up if they'll hatch or not. And even if you get some to hatch it usually is a very small percentage. My only time trying shipped eggs was from someone here on BYC and none of them hatched. The majority started developing so it wasn't fertility and she packaged them very nicely. I would never blame her for them not hatching. Maybe you are being too hard on Meyer? Be warned, if you do hatching eggs shipped from BYCers they won't offer any kind of guarantee or refund either.
i was told by one of their people that i would be either given a one time replacement of hatching eggs or my money back since NONE of the egg's hatched (which i made the mistake of hailing them for not a week ago). They recoiled on their word faster then a snake in the house and then tried to call me incompetent of hatching egg's because it was my first time using an incubator to hatch egg's. The only reason they even knew about that is because they looked me up here on backyard chickens (it really makes me wonder if they followed me to walmart too
And i wasn't knocking sally sunshine i was saying i used her method of hatching egg's which is one of the most professional processes i have ever seen and the eggs not only didn't hatch but they didn't even show the slightest sign of development leading me to believe the egg's where no good.
I have to say i don't know what makes me more mad my treatment with Meyers or the fact that every other person i try to talk to about it runs to meyers aid. I don't know i guess I'm just bad luck everything i touch falls apart or doesn't work out. just watch all the chicks i'm going to be getting die or be roosters that would be a fitting end to this chapter in my life.
