QJ... hows the backwards baby?

This was my first attempt at shipping eggs, so I guess I really *&C#&D Up! For your information, I was't charging anything for the eggs. Not that it makes any difference, and I would have made it right if I had!!!! I TOLD the lady at the Post Office they were hatching eggs, and she didn't mention writing that on the box. Also, I have read several threads where people said the DON'T mark the boxes fragile, etc. because they felt they were treated worse for it. When I received eggs in the mail, they were individually wrapped, but not tightly packed in the box, so they apparently smacked against each other and several were cracked. So I purposely made sure that they were all tightly secure in the cartons (and used the foam cartons for extra padding). I will never package like that again! LESSON LEARNED!!! But I can guarantee you that it wasn't that I didn't give a D A M N how they arrived. I cared very much!

You packaged yours pretty similar to how I packed mine, and mine made it all the way from here to Jaz in one piece. Post office was just mean! I could see a few eggs breaking being packed like that, but not the mess they arrived at. They had to have been stomped on somewhere.

Everybody needs to calm down right now. We are chicken people, we express our opinions. It's even easier when we can't see each other face to face.

So Freakin' Stop it NOW.

Ya know what's funny? I haven't checked since I got home at 4:00!! I've been SO busy with dinner and kids!! And then I had 10 pages of nasty grams to read when I got back. LOL.

That's the whole problem right there. Chickens are mean nasty tempered little birds, always pecking at each other and all. We need to remember we are in the DUCK section, lol. So act like ducks, not chickens!

If I may share a picture of my 15 day old ancona? See the spots on the wings and in between. He/she is starting to get them all over!

Ok. I am starting to freak out. I dropped hubby off at work at 8 this morning. He didn't say anything about it being a long day. He works cleaning out homes after evictions and foreclosures, and keeping the properties maintained for the banks that own them. I haven't heard from him, his phone is off. I have no idea what to do. I have no idea where they worked today, if he is still at work, if something's wrong, nothing. He is getting a serious *** kicking when I hear from him. I don't know what to do.

Excellent point. Let's all swim and forage for slugs together.

Has he done this before? Or is this not "typical" behavior. AND I have a friend that does that.

I went to the hip surgeon today. NO SURGERY on my hip!!! He wants me to go see a pain specialist and have some injections and possibly block the nerve to the hip that is causing the problem. Next week is the back doctor and the disability doctor.
