WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

No problem sweetie. And congrats on quiting smoking.

Hmmmmm maybe I should quit smoking with you.

I am down to 8 cigs a day. But I really should quit. But I have only been smoking 4 years. But I have tried to quit 5 times.

Never made it past 3rd week. Okay I have 4 cigarettes left. I will give it a try too. Your a strong woman and we have to keep reminding ourselves, " We refuse to left anything control our lives. We are in charge." over and over again!

Oh my gosh is that the package from Poconofarms. I was gonna ask you about your chicks. The only thing I can imagine happened is that maybe they passed so they took them out. Dang Po they sure know how to mess things up.

oh my gosh Im so sorry thats awfull did you talk to the PO about it . Is the saler gonna refund or ship more chicks.. I know its awfull they were missing but IM hopeing that as they are missing that instead of dying someone took them and will love them its still horrible for you though.

Oh that sucks about the chicks!

Yes, please try to quit smoking, but it really has to come from inside, so I'm no help.

Pauletta--Nicolle loved the bear!!! She had to fix the pants because they were over the boots instead of tucked in. LOL!!!! She went to a shooting range with her uncle and cousin who is in the military and shot 4 different guns. She was stoked.

Calm Down.... Breath..... I thought the same thing when they emailed me. Just put there zip code in on paypal. You will be surprised that it actually isn't that much at all. I didn't write hatching eggs on the box due to where they were going. You should be good though. I think at the most it was like $15 but maybe not even that much. You can always contact them and let them know that shipping will be more since they are going that far.

PM flat rate will ship to porta rico, iirc. We used to send books there and it was the same.

Of course. Who knows what happened maybe they were stuck somewhere on a broken down truck or plane, it appears someone tried to feed them, the bird seed with the sunflower seeds. I hate to think the worst of anyone.mmaybe they did die and someone was peaking into the box and took the dead ones out. The last scan was Monday at 7pm where they came from in PA and the next scan was in Muncie Indiana at 2am Thursday morning.


I really don't want to tell the postmaster, we live in a small town and I am already the crazy chicken lady, lol.

Can you just see me explaining the missing chicks and the bird seed in the box. I really didn't want to even tell dh. When I did tell him in the car he just rolled eyes and said "well at least you got them"

I knew you all would be more support. I DID double check with the breeder what she sent.

One time dh saw a dead chick in the brooder and tossed thinking he would save me having to know. Mean while I am counting chicks and checking my notes, I finally asked dh he was shocked I noticed. Of course I noticed I hatched them all, I know how many there are suppose to be in there.

This happened before I was missing a few chicks on some hatchery layers. That box was on time if I remember right. It's those lilttle brown shipping boxes both sides the lids were bent up like someone had been peaking in.

I am expecting some other chicks later this month or next month I asked the shipper if they could put the chick box inside one of those bigger horizon boxes and zip tie it like how the big birds ship.

Great now I am the paranoid crazy chicken lady.

On the brighter side look what hatched yesterday

6 Olansk dwarf chicks.

 

[crazypetlady]

BHep thanks for such GREAT eggs. I got yours some from dmripey and a side swap I got SEVEN dozen eggs between you 3. I called my gf and told her to swing by and pick some up, she loves to hatch too, whenever she visits she is stuffing all the eggs she finds anywhere in her pockets

Oh no on Fox and friends they have a pink flamingo chick. It's sooooo cute it's white and it's legs are 2x as long as it's body.

Anyone have any flamingo eggs.

 

[reesepoultry]

That is just terrible. You know you should be able to get your shipping money back though on the bright side. They are guaranteed the second day and if not you get your money back. You can file the claim right online and then your postmaster wont know. They will send you all your money back actually. Well at least up to $100. Which is better than nothing. If you need help filling out the form let me know. Also they ask for pics if you have them.
