    Weren't Bobbi's the ones she shipped Friday and you got Monday though? I mean, that's days less than our eggs have been traveling so one would think less days is less handling and less bouncing around.

    :hugs I didn't know it could be worse than what @LTAY1946 @2ndTink and I have had with shipped eggs, but sad to say, you got us beat there and I'm so sorry. I know how frustrating and expensive this is. What about the Indigo Egg lady that you put me onto? I was going to buy some eggs from...

    Maybe try the taping again in a day after it gets a little bit stronger. I'd just try one more time and if that doesn't work, I'm sure it'll grow up fine anyway!

    I had one I had to tape the curly toes on one foot straight. I used hubby's wide blue painting tape and stood the chick on the sticky side of one strip, then made sure the toes were straight and put another strip on the top, sticky side down.

    At least for here in Wisconsin, I can't trust USPS to ship me chicks. I would have the feed mill try get what I want first and buy from there, but they have a bad reputation of chicks/turkeys dying once brought home, so that's not an option either. The only breeder within an hour of me is the...

    I cringe to even figure out how much these birds I DID get cost me to try get buffs. 4 dozen eggs of mixed buff/cuckoo/paint/mottled, and wanting ZERO naked necks, I wound up with 18 birds. 1 frizzle buff and 1 NN buff (if these are both females, that's fine.) The rest are cuckoos and...

    I have really had the shipping issues this last fall and spring too like never before. I am happy if my hatch rate is/was 25%, when in the past it had been averaging 75% for shipped, but in a couple of batches it didn't even make that percentage. I have a few beautiful birds though, so I'm...
