Hi Everybody

I am so sorry to everyone, and especially CountryPantry! One problem after another but I got the eggs out Monday finally. They are on their way. I haven't been on BYC in quite a while, just no time, so I wasn't able to update on here.

Also I got my eggs on October 23. 16 green eggs. Some are marked M5 and some unmarked. They were in the most awesome packing job I have ever seen and I need to know where my partner got the foam thingy she sent the eggs in (please PM me if it was you!). They all arrived in perfect condition! I got them in the bator on the 26th and I will be candling tonight. I sometimes have trouble candling EE eggs though because the light I use isn't particularly strong so I will let you all know if I can see what's going on in them.

It worked out that I got my eggs before I could send eggs because the packing job on those I got was so awesome I used the same packing materials to send mine. Here is a pic of the packing job that mine came in. ETA: there was a bunch of shredded paper over that and topped off with a sheet of soft foam and then a sheet of hard foam to fill the box.

Just awesome!!!

The foam came from eggs I got- I have had them delivered like that consistently from Leon Valley, but I haven't had luck with their eggs- poor fertility rate. I do wonder where they get the foam! It's even sized differently for banty eggs and LF, perfectly cut to fit the box.

I wish I had a line on that stuff!!
