Okies in the BYC The Original

[Stray]

TJ's Na-Na :

Stray - those few days are the only days off that lots of working
people get. And, they did not ship any eggs on Sunday, nor
would there have been any service on Memorial Day.....that day
that we remember all the veterans that have fought for all of
us......so that we are free to have an opinion.

I know... I'm just mad is all...​

HA, I get only one holiday a year off for sure, Christmas. And even then alot of people have to be at work at 10pm christmas nite to restock the shelvs for customers coming when the store opens back up the next morning aorund 6 or 7. Its mostly returns then but we still sell plenty of groceries.

Carla, personaly I think your doing all you can do to make them happy. If you dont already you may want to add a disclaimer in your adds. I dont personaly think you are responsible and I think you are being more than fair in making it "right" for this person.

That is so sweet of you, but really, it's ok. This is actually the first time it's ever happened ... and I've actually thought with all the eggs I've sent out, it was about time I'd have some problem like this.

Oh, and I just looked at this guy's address and I am embarassed to admit ... he's from Minnesota, not Michigan. I apologize to all Michiganders for my error!

Good nite lynn, i get to stay up late reading a book, hovering over the incubator (just set about 30+ more eggs, i need help!). I know all about the pains of getting up at 3AM. You cannot get enough rest to feel awake when that durn buzzer goes off. At least not with kids and a wife!

TJ's Na-Na :

Quenston - All GOOD VIBES for the results of the job interview !!!

Have a good one !

I second that! PLease let us know if you get it!!

Carla, I think you are being more than fair on how you are dealing with this person. Everyone that buys eggs knows that is a chance that you take.

Henny, I'm just jealous! I want babies under a hen.​

Way to go folks with baby animal type thingies!

Carla -

and that just ain't cuz you are cute! Blow it off! Wait for the real rewards! Mad folks are just there to make us realize how much better it is to be happy!

Stray - glad to see you are gettin gover the grumps as well!

Nana - good thought on the day off thing! And thanks to those on the board that served for the rest of us!

Get up early???

None of that nasty talk! I have bird cages all over the yard! I am fixing the coop! Was gonna wait but couldn't make it anymore...so much for me being lazy!

My wife was like, "I am surprised you made it this long"

 

[Teach97]

Sooner - I have four hens that like to go broody? hint hint hint

the only problem is they lay really nice eggs...when they remember what their job is

Anyone got a remedy for water in the ear? I feel like I have something in it but can't seem to fix it

Saundra, don't you have your eggs in a cabinet incubator? If so, I think you should just turn off the turner and let the eggs hatch in there instead of using another incubator for hatching. I have a hatching tray on the bottom of one of my cabinet incubators, and I put the eggs that are due to hatch in the pulp egg cartons/flats and let them hatch in them and then throw away the used egg cartons. In my old cabinet incubator, there's no place for hatching, but I've done it by just turning off the turner and letting them hatch in the trays. Oh, and you want to increase the humidity a bit while they're hatching, but it shouldn't affect the other eggs that aren't due yet. I'd sure hate to see you lose any more eggs. I have my fingers crossed, hoping for the best
