Shipping fertile eggs

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Hi!
After 10 days of incubation here, the yolk (on chicken eggs) is hard to keep intact to check. It's lost the integrity of the parts.
Goose eggs might be different. If the yolk still 'stood up' and you could see an unfertilized derm/disc thing (sorry to throw those technical terms out at you) then it was most likely an unfertilized egg.

If they were not fertile eggs, they should be replaced at no charge or refunded.

There are so many variables with shipping eggs --- it should be a safe assumption that any eggs offered as 'hatching eggs' are fertile.
That sort of thing just irritates me.

Good luck,
Lisa

Yes, I even took pictures of the eggs (2 out of the 3 - the 3rd did rupture when I tried to pour it from the shell) and it is plain these eggs were not fertile yet this seller keeps going on and on about how she has hatched from her eggs.

You know, replacement eggs is something I do as a seller and something I would like in return. But I am actually at the point where it would be nice to just see her admit that MAYBE the eggs were infertile....

I am considering filing a PayPal complaint since she did not hold up her end by supplying me with fertile eggs - but how do I prove this? Seriously, it's not about wanting more eggs, it's about her owning up to her end of the deal.....

Yeah, especially when you pay $10-$15 a piece for Sebastopol eggs that are "guranteed fertile" only to have them be completely freakin' clear after TWO weeks in the 'bator. I contacted the lady who sold them to me & her response was something like "Oh well." And she took my $ and now isn't reponding to emails.

Edited to say, I bought 5 eggs from her.

Oh honey, you got out cheap - I paid $25 per egg PLUS shipping for colored sebbies. And this woman is actually getting irate with me because I insist they were infertile - like it isn't possible for her to have infertile eggs after claiming to have hatched some....and I didn't even ask for replacement eggs! I guess some people just don't understand about customer service....

Sighs. This lady has some colored ones, too...I wonder if it's the same woman?

Well, I don't have to worry about her any more - she has blocked me from bidding on her auctions (oh, that hurt....NOT). And I for real did not get ugly or hateful at all - merely stated the facts. PM me and let's see if we are talking about the same woman....

yeah once fertile always fertile
but there is alot of things that can make them unfertile
