I got some like that from a byc'er. The bottom of the eggs where crushed. I couldn't believe anybody would even think that protects the eggs from breakage. Sorry you had to go thru that.I got eggs yesterday from an ebay auction and the packing was one of the worst that I have seen in all the years I have been buying hatching eggs. I still cannot believe that anyone would think that it was acceptable.
Eggs were wrapped with a 1"-1 1/2" piece of bubble wrap around the middle which left both ends of the egg exposed. The bottom of the box had 3 plastic grocery bags then there were styrofoam coffee cups placed in the box with the eggs set inside the cups. A few more cups were thrown in as cushioning I guess. The box was by no means packed with enough stuff to prevent anything from moving. The results the eggs were tossed out of the cups the first time the box was turned in the shipping process then just continued to roll around in the box. Many of the eggs came out of the bubble wrap. The total surprise was out of 9 eggs only two were totally smashed. I left the other 7 set overnight and candled a little while ago. Two eggs had the yolk burst and are totally scrambled, the remaining have really bad floating air cells. This is not a new seller and has sold on BYC also. I did notify them of the bad packing job and stated that I was not asking for any more eggs or a refund but only hoped that they would correct the poorly packed eggs in the future .
I just had to vent.
Thats awful, I only remmber getting bad packageing from someone on byc once and I really coudnt complain as they were sending me free eggs with something else I had gotton but it was still awful just a bunch of quail eggs in a big zip lock back with some papertowels O.O . How is everyones weekend going so far. Im working on trying to figure out how to tell what hatches when and from whome. Should I take all the eggs back out and put peoples names on them . I wrote set dates on most of them but with staggerd hatches I think maybe I should do hatch dates to ? 151 eggs in two lg incs is a lot of work
Try candeling 240 quail eggs fast. It's not possible. I had to find which one was stinking a couple of weeks ago.So My grandson helped me and we where both picking up little eggs and sniffing each one. We found 5 then a week later 1 exploded in the bator. We missed one.
I've got another bator with chicken and guinea eggs in it. Gladely the staggard hatches are dwindling down. All 3 bators are half full right now. All should be done cooking by mid June.
I got BBS Cochins and BBS orphs on the same day talk about bing confused. I wrote the wrong ones on the 1st set and had to mark it out and write the correct abbreviation.
