The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[Arielle]

I have found that long distance works just fine for hatching eggs!! Yeah!! 8 out of 8 is WONDERFULLLLLLLL

I would like to comment on he anti Alaska sentiment. Those of us haunting an Auction thread are CRAZY enough to have house chickens in diapers! The distance is not a problem. I just hatched 7 out of a dozen of Boggy Bottoms D'anvers. I have 8 of 8 turkeys from Mass developing. I have hatched a few 100 quail from LA. Thank You to everyone who includes us adventurers!

WAIT!? Who was Anti-Alaska?? I missed that.

I have had 100% hatches on eggs I sent to Alaska, more than once, ftr.

I feel that the distance the sender and the recipient are from major airports is incredibly important in most transactions, because nearly every package will be traveling by air. I will also assert that the WORST hatches of my eggs have been either IN MY STATE- because the whole trip was by truck- or someone who lived a distance from the airport in their region. It took Taz 3 days to get the eggs I sent her, and she only lives 3 hours away!!! Of 12, one hatched. Sooooo sad.

And, I do have pics of my Rocks, but I'm having issues getting them up...still trying!

I just confirmed a great hatch with my egg customer in Alaska... sent all the way from Cape Cod!

Blue/Black/Splash Plymouth Rocks.

I found a pic of some of the hens in the pen, and I'll snap a pic of the rest tonight with the roo in there. He isn't barred, and the whole flock is Blue, so the possibilities are Blue, Black, and Splash.



These are a joint project between me and SparkyCrows, and you can see more about it on her facebook page...I'll see if I can nab the link.

Are they BBS barred, or BBS?

BBS in this flock. BBS Barred in another flock, currently unavailable. The eggs in question, up for auction are BBS NOT Barred. :>

I assure you. I have nothing against Alaska. I just have the worst luck shipping there for some reason. I just shipped there last week. Honestly I think it's on the end of the PO service here. The eggs take SO long to get there even priority. I've had eggs take over a week before.

Ok, thank you
I guess I should have read your explanation... I just saw the picture of the blue barred and got confused lol

I live in New Mexico. I have had eggs take 8 days from Texas.

I have shipped to AK once. It took 4 days. I think if buyers from Alaska are willing to take the risk, it is for them to decide.
