The Great Egg Shipping Experiment!

[jsdeslidingh]

@ladycat 7 of you eggs have hatched. Candled last nite and did egg topsies. Two of them were quitters and the rest had blood spots. But the seven were more then I expected given the time in transit...so I am still pleased with the hatch.

I'm thrilled, I was afraid none would hatch! I can send you more just for the cost of shipping (no charge for the eggs), if you want.

Oh no that's not necessary! I appreciate the offer but I'm very thankful for the babies I got and am in no way disappointed, and let me just say that they are big fat healthy chicks!!....I just think all of us should go to work for the postal service

But I'd like to buy some of those gorgeous B eggs whenever you have extra

Well, since you only ordered 12 eggs and got 7 chicks I guess that's pretty good for shipped eggs.

It's the fact that I sent 19 eggs and only 7 hatched that makes me frustrated with USPS. If you had gotten them quick, you might have had a dozen or more hatch.

I'll let you know as soon as I have eggs from the other bloodline ready to sell.

I'm like you, I was not expecting any to hatch, I just set them and prayed...so I was thrilled when they did.
I will patiently await the other eggs

You are so lucky. After my discussion with Brenda today I am disgusted. I found out the man I got many of my eggs from through e-bay is a scammer and he only sells infertile eggs, he also steals them from neighbors. This is why it took so long for him to ship them to me. He has even had the police at his home multiple times for scamming folks. He is from right here in NC as well, and been on the news multiple times already. So anyways that means now I may be lucky to get about 5 eggs out of the 60 in my incubator to hatch. The eggs the lady sent me from Texas it took 11 days for them to be delivered so they most likely wont be good. Still going to hope and pray and think positive. Maybe I will get lucky and will get a few miracles to happen.

Wow.

I stopped ebay a long time ago, I don't buy there and I don't sell there. Too much craziness and too many crooked people.

I would suggest going to the classified forum right here at BYC and buy from some reliable sellers.

That is what I am doing from now on. I don't think I will get scammed through here like I did there. I am just so disgusted after last years fiasco with the breeder and getting so many eggs that were infertile I thought E-bay would be better guess not. A lesson learned again. Luckily though I stopped myself from spending hundreds of dollars like last year.
