Postal rant...Mailed a letter priority last Tuesday, from New Mexico to Oregon. As of last night it was in South Dakota.

I hear you! I mailed a sample for a preg test for my goat on Thurs the 13th, was rec'd one state away(Pa) 9 days later! Now if the goat isn't pregnant we will be two weeks later on started over to bring her in to season...I know it isn't chickens, but the stinking mail!

x2!

Same way you get from Ohio to Missouri via Alaska. Kind of makes you wonder what qualities the USPS looks for when hiring.

You have no idea.... *Brain explodes*

Grrr, the postal service can be so frustrating. I can only laugh about it a year later - but, last spring I purchased hatching eggs from Georgia. Four boxes worth, sent priority. I am in Kansas. Two boxes made it within somewhat reasonable time (not 2-3 days though), one box showed up within the next week after it had been sent to the wrong post office and sent back to Kansas City for "re-sorting." The 4th box I kept tracking and tracking and tracking. It was lost in the unknown for about a month, then showed up in the Kansas City sorting center but nothing after that. My local post office had put out a search for it early on and then eventually filed a claim. The box never showed up and the claim was never addressed!

Seriously? Alaska? My second grader has better geography skills.

I had one going from IL to Iowa took the long route through Puerto Rico . Took 2 weeks to show up. No scans in between.

The package I sent Cayuse Ranch said it never left my PO until it showed up again as delivered in the tracking system. I am starting to wonder if taping over the SKU interferes with the barcode being scanned properly. Unfortunately, I don't have it in me to wait in line at the PO to ask.. I always print my labels at home. The next package I send, I may try to keep the bar code clear of tape to see if that helps.

This should be on the chat but it's IS BAD to tape over the scan. I used to because I thought " don't get wet..." But it WILL cause problems. Learned that the sad way while shipping eBay items a while back . Tape around the edges of the paper for your labels.

It only dawned on me today that this could be the problem. I have been trying to figure out how a package can make it from Pt. A to Pt. B without showing up in the tracking system. Make better sense now. Thanks.

Ok all I'm going to run this until end of tomorrow as a buy it now (I hope this is ok, if not please let me know!) I have the following all from the last two days. I'm doing $25 a dozen for any mix of eggs plus $15 shipping so total is $40 shipped you can paypal to [email protected] and put a note what it's for just post a response here of what eggs you are taking and I will try my best to keep the list updated. I will post a few pics if you would like more please just let me know! If paid today or tomorrow morning before 10am EST I will ship tomorrow if paid after I will ship out Wed. All payments should be made before 8am EST on Wednesday. I would prefer not to ship more than 12+ eggs (please pick 2 back-up for free eggs so you will pick a total of 14 eggs. You can also do a 6+2 if you need less eggs it would be $15 a dozen plus $10 shipping so $25 per half dozen+

14 Blue Eggs (these are from a pen with 4 blue black splash hens, 4 easter egger hens, 1 frizzle easter egger roo, two pure blue and splash ameraucana roos) so these are sold as easter eggers.
6 Olive Eggs (these are from a pen with 2 project frizzle easter egger hens, 1 easter egger straight feathered, and a blue ameraucana roo)
14 Brown Eggs (from a pen with frizzle easter egger hens and pure ameraucana roos) these would probably be the best bet for a frizzle easter egger or frizzle olive egger!



10 White crested black polish Eggs LF also have a white crested blue frizzle hen in the pen but don’t think she’s laying (never know though)








9 Blue and Black Bantam Cochin Eggs (half hens are blue half are black)
8 Buff Orpington Eggs


17 Mixed duck hatching eggs (in pen are pure rouen, Swedish, crested appleyard, and khaki cambell, 2 of the eggs are Pekin from another pen)- some of ducks in photo are not present anymore!


7 Eggs from Gorgeous Blue ameraucana and 3 frizzle EE hens (4 green, 3 brown)


8 mixed eggs that have GORGEOUS babies! These are from a red star hen and a black frizzle LF cochin roo. The babies have been frizzled and a greyish color some with feathers on feet some without
6 eggs Wheaten Maran Wade Jean Lines

I tape over the address but leave the bar code usually. that way they still know where it's supposed to go if it gets torn.
