I just shipped out some egg orders... YOU know... it is a sad day when folks that work for the postal service CAN'T read!!!.... I clearly mark all egg boxes not once but TWICE with HOLD ... call for pickup followed by the persons name and phone number. STILL the knotheads put the box on a truck sent out to deliver.

Oh this infuriates me! The boxes are stamped all over with FRAGILE Please Handle with Care and the box arrived with one side smashed in! The eggs managed to arrive intact... Thanks to the foam blocks and bubble wrap. Now we wait.....

You pack great. The foam blocks are neat. I do want you to know that mine arrived in great shape. Sometimes there are just those that don't care. I am glad your eggs made it though. Hmmmmnow that I think about it....how long have they been in the incubator? I need to go and check my calendar. Can I candle them yet? hmmm...now I better go and check. I'm excited.

How many big Orps can fit on top of a feed barrel?

Well, obviously THIS is the best seat in the house. LOL.

I am picking up my ten day old Gold Laced today. I am soooo excited, nervous, anxious... The above GL are beautiful !

Thanks deek! Where did you get yours?

I don't check mine until day 18 as they are going into lockdown I do keep a watchful eye on them while in the bator... checking temp, humidity, the turner is working , and that there is none leaking. So far... that hasn't happen to me and I sure don't want it to either.. Those foam blocks are well let's just say... I have no intentions of ever shipping hatching eggs without them
So glad you are pleased... now we wait

Hi rockingpaints, I ordered them from Greenfire last month. They were the closest to me with available day olds. They hatched yesterday and I picked them up in person today. Just got home. They're still in the box...peeping ever so quietly and sleeping. Waiting for my husband so we could all open it up together. It will be a long 1/2 hr until he gets here. Geez, wasn't ever really good at waiting to open Christmas or Birthdays. But...I'm striving for patience.
