No...I even called the PO where they were brought in, where the guy knew our sender and told me they were brought in Monday, and that they should have been scanned in the next city (I can't remember where he told me it'd be) and that Priority packages aren't necessarily scanned at every step on the way. My carrier and I had a long talk and she said they'll have to investigate Monday. I called the 800 number for the national PO and they won't investigate until Monday, because of the # of postal business days involved...so I'm just waiting until Monday...the eggs will be rotten before I see them!

Monday was the 23rd, your swapper said she sent them on Saturday, the 21st. Either way, the DC# info said it was received on the 24th, so they weren't even done until Tuesday. I really hope they don't take too awful long to get to you, that's just ridiculous!!

I wish somebody had contacted me about this. The PO closed at noon on Saturday and I couldn't make it so I took them in first thing Monday morning. They really should have been there by now. I don't what else I can do. This is not my fault, but I'm sorry this has happened.

I GOT MY EGGS!!!!!!

I'm so happy! Thanks for the surprise eggs, but you'll have to fess up about them or I'll just burst. They look like the extra time didn't do any harm, so we'll just have to see in a few days. I'll be putting them in this eve, and my mondo candler shows development at 3 days, so...

I feel better just having them here. Such a lovely pink!!

Thanks for the present, too!

Just got my eggs from Evonne. All in perfect condition and beautiful colors!

Well it looks like I have development in all the eggs I can see in. For some unknown reason my candler won't let me see inside bluish eggs. Which is really weird because I can see in dark brown maran's eggs.

So ChooksChicks....are ya gonna fess up???? What's cookin' in my 'bator??

Those eggs are very had to see into- I use an LED flashlight I got in a 3-pack at Costco for $15- and if you have a Costco near you, you should go get them, because it's the best I've ever seen! I use packing tape and foil to make a collar that flexes to fit each egg tightly but flex so I can see from the side, etc. On the brighter setting I can see the tiniest details on ANY egg!

TT, you got a bunch of the lovely birds in this thread- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=268663

Hope you get a great hatch!

ETA- the flashlights are called BluMaxx.

I've been following that thread! Those chicks are gorgeous!!

I don't have a Costco near me, I don't think, but I can always look online. I absolutely love the colors of these eggs! They're so beautiful. I could look at them all day.
