Re: [CHICKENS-101] bad shipped eggs

 

I pondered my situation over several days about what to do, maybe some of you have a good idea for me.  I bought eggs on ebay from a silkie breeder, received eggs with fecal matter on them, and they are no good.  I candled them and could tell right away that they were no good.  Know how you check eggs that have been under a hen for 2 -3 weeks right before a hatch?  The bad eggs slosh all over inside?  The good eggs are solid?  I have bad eggs, not egg cell broken eggs, but bad, old eggs.  They even floated.  I taking them to my vet to have her verify with my egg candler and her sink that I was sent old no good eggs, then I am posting the written note she gives me unless the breeder makes good.  I still can't believe I was sent old eggs with feces on them.  I sure hope the breeder sent me eggs she meant to throw away and that these were not supposed to have been good eggs.  If I had set these dirty eggs, they would have exploded in my chest incubator and killed the eggs from Eric and other people.  I really really want eggs from this breeder from the pictured silkie.  I am so disappointed and unhappy over my $$ wasted.  Cathryn

I am lining boxes up in the living room, have my  bubble wrap cut, and the tape handy with the extra packing.  I have to send Di's before it is too hot there. You'll have eggs from them with my tiniest cockerels with nice clear legs and beak, along from Fancy, Mocha, Black hen, Lacy, and Wheaties.  Cathryn

Oh yay, glad they arrived on time.
I will have room next week. I have a hatch starting on Tuesday and should finish by late in the week. That will open up one of the bators. I have ten of your eggs developing, they are at a week! I can hardly wait to see what I get.
Thanks!
