Sitting here trying to imagine myself picking a scab off of a hen. 

I hope she makes it. If you can get the maggots off and clean the wound, I think she'd have as good a chance as not. I've read so many miracle chicken stories like farmerchef's.

you may also need to trim the feathers if they get nasty

Yikes.  What is the tracking showing?  Does it show them accepted in the postal system?  Were they shipped express or priority?  Hoping all turns out okay. Keep us posted. 

express mail

The tracking shows they left the PA sort facility at 7pm Monday and that's it, no scans since.
I am expecting a box of dead chicks in the morning

The sender did say she let the stuff their bellies with tofu before they left and they has sliced watermelon and chick starter. Maybe they will make it.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Maybe someone with a big heart is watching over them.

I really hate using eBay to sell eggs. I had a customer last month that claimed that they didn't get item as described. She claimed that she received broken eggs and they where stinky. Anybody that has received eggs from me knows better than that. They also claimed that the packing was not as described. Claimed that the eggs where at the bottom of the box with a small bit of shredded paper on top. They wanted a refund and left negative feedback before I even got notified they where unhappy. So me being me I offered to send replacements and even double box them which is what I did. I checked every egg carefully before wrapping it and they claimed that I should check eggs better than what I said I did because one was cracked when they got them. They offered to revise their feedback and asked me to send the request which I had no idea how because I've never knew it could be revised. So she sends me another nasty message that she is taking time out of her day to help me out and if I'm not going to send her the request then she's not going to ask me again to do it. It was just on and on mean hateful stuff. I finally found the feedback revision request and sent it to her. Now to just see what she has to say. I bet it won't be nice still.

I had a man about 4 years ago that bought several wind spinners that I had made. Then he wanted me to go to walmart and buy the materials so he could make some himself. He wasn't going to pay for it though and really expected me to do this. When he got his box of wind spinners and no materials to make some himself he made a complaint and held out the entire time that eBay gives before they make a decision and eBay made the decision that I did nothing wrong so he turns to paypal and makes a complaint and waits their time limit and they find me not in the wrong too. Then he left me a positve feedback that I was a great seller and great to do business with. I just knew he was going to leave negative feedback with a nasty note added to it.

I don't want to have to post eggs for sale there again if I can help it. I try to sell them here on BYC. There are just too many problems when dealing with eBay people. I had sold a book that the buyer never received. I had it insured and because the box top came back to me the po claimed that they can't pay the insurance amount because I couldn't prove the item was in the box and I didn't just cut the top off and bring it to them. So he was unhappy and left negative feedback. I wasn't going to refund money because I sent the box and had insurance on it. It wasn't my problem that a postal worker stole the book and that the po wouldn't pay the insured amount.

The PO sure causes alot of problems too. I just had to vent. That lady was soooo rude with every message she sent. It makes a person just want to stop selling then if I did that i'd have to get rid of my chickens.

Ok, thanks for letting me vent.

That was very rotten of those people to do that!

I guess I was lucky. I bought and sold on eBay for about 2 years and didn't run into any problems other than a few times a package might be a little late I'd order. I always sent out my 'sold' packages within two days of ended auctions. I never sold hatching eggs or anything of the sort. I use to sell on consighment from several sources dealing with antiques. It seemed that 'clientele' were very easy to work with and appreciative. I don't care for the way eBay has changed listing items. It use to be far cheaper than it is now too!
