PAYPAL/Hatching Eggs Swap FEEDBACK

[tdhenson86]

Claimed 6. Received 8 eggs from Greeneacre today. The box appeared to be perfectly fine, but when it was opened, 3 eggs were crushed. The other 5 appear to be okay.

Look down at the tabs on the bottom. It is split up on different sheets by date so that you don't have to go through all the swaps from the beginning. You started about Christmas, right? Your swaps are on the 11/16-12/31-2012, 1/1/13-2/2/13 and 2/3/2013-3/2/2013 tabs.

I found it! I am hopeless sometimes. I also found my notebook, finally.

Oh dear I am WAY behind!!!

Received my eggs from Papabrooder from 2 swaps claimed last fall and due to go into lockdown Thursday... sent lots of extras with beautiful packing, THX Papa!!!

Received eggs from DMRIppy, wheaten ams, rcvd 7 eggs, all beatifully intact, they were set for the Easter hatch and I haven't done a good candle yet, but the "quick" candle I did looked like most are developing... THX Donna!!

Received hens choice from TNBearchick which are hatching now. They were packed fine, but 3 were broken in the middle of the box (weird?) Looks like only one is going to hatch, but their aircells really got messed up by the PO... THX TNB!!!

Almost forgot. Had a shipping mishap when pysankigirl sent some eggs a few weeks ago and she was really kind and replaced them! They all arrived perfectly this time!

Also four eggs from either krazy or flocksalot will have to double check. They're RPxGN I think. Perfect shape! they all develop ad hatch!!!!!

 

[pysankigirl]

Oh, thank goodness. My shipping mishap (so others can learn from my mistake) was that I wrapped each egg in bubble wrap but not tight enough and padded them with newspaper top and bottom but too loosely and they managed to slip out of their cases and break.

I actually learned from the eggs I recently got from CRfarm to wrap the beginning of the bubblewrap around the egg before rolling...that seems to work really well.

Crfarm does a really nice wrap and pack!

I am not sure I remember exactly what I have gotten from Papa Brooder and not sure how to enter it, since I can't remember what I got or what hatched. But I have good hatches. I have gotten CCL, LC, LS, Choc Orps, Rhodebars and SFH.... I have chicks from ALL those since I got hen's choices mostly I only have a couple of each but YEAH!

On my side swaps that i can remember.... again not sure I can put these in the spreadsheet. AyeUpChuck I got 18 Buff Fav and 4 Olive eggers.... I think that is right. I had hatcher issues so I am sure the number could have been higher but i put like 15 Buff and 4 Olive eggs in lockdown and hatched 5 Buff Favs and 3 Olive eggers. Same with Not A Farm. She sent me 24 GNH eggs Great developement 17 made it to lockdown 10 hatched BUT my hatcher killed all but 3

WVStuttin sent me a swap of 18 Silkies and sorry I can't remember how many hatched this batch but only 3 or 4 made it to lockdown out of 18... they took a long trip though. 2 hatched. My other swap a couple of weeks before out of 18 silkies I had 4 hatch out of 6 in lockdown.

I think that is it for side swaps.... that have hatched. If I have forgotten someone let me know.

Hoping all 4 hatch out.
