I have been told that when they are shipping in the warehouse the convery belts are really tall & they can sometime fall off of them & cause damage. We have alot of shipping with UPS & often have damaged packages more so than with FEDEX.
 
OMG.....OMG.....OMG....... I just had the crap scared outta me!

Today is day 18 for some eggs I have incubating. Well, it WAS day 18 at midnight last night. So, OK, I'm late transferring the eggs from the incubator to the hatcher. What can I say, I'm busy ya know!

Finally, I get to it. The hatchers are warm and steady. I go to the Sportsman. Click the button to make the shelves go straight (cuz they rock back and forth, ya know). I open the plexi glass door, and pull the shelf out. AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH, scream! ! ! I see a mouse! I am deathly afraid of mice. I mean ..... heart attack kinda afraid. Trembling, I hear something. It is a chick! A little grey (blue) silkie chick, fully hatched and fluffy, running around atop the eggs!

I holler for my husband. Well, he was already on his way, since he heard my blood curdling scream. I hand off the chick to him, so I can finish loading the hatchers. There are 3 more pips (well, one is zipping). Alll Silkie eggs. I'm thinking .... what the heck is up with this?

OH YEAH...... I forgot ......

A couple weeks ago I had a broody silkie sitting for about a week. I took her eggs away from her and gave her a couple silkie babies in exchange. It worked! She accepted them, and is happy as peas in a pod. I took her eggs ...... oh yeah, I put them in the incubator! I forgot about them!

Great story, Kathy in Mo. Lot of comedians on this board.

And Cuban, my dogs have killed so many critters in the last couple of weeks I've stopped counting. They must be really hungry to be getting that brave. I leave the carcases out for the puppies to chew on for training.
