You expressed surprise that buyers leave feedback before hatching.
That would seem to contradict your "once you've set them you've
accepted them" philosophy.

Don't you only have 30 days from when you pay to leave feedback?


Hmm - seems he is now abusing the seller on Ebay feedback

I thought he wanted to learn, if appearances are anything to go by maybe he
wanted to smear someone's reputation because he made a mistake.
There is a retaliatory accusation of being in league with another seller,
which is a silly thing to start, but that others sellers self reported
feedback in sales descriptions seems to be well awry - most of the numbers
do not seem to have existed and there is certainly nothing relating to the
transactions in the buyers accounts.I am not Ebay savvy at all but I could
not find anything to match up, even with the brother-in-laws account. They
have even used the same number for different transactions. Weird.

Rumblings says there was a 0% hatch rate to us but the feedback says 1
hatched and that there were formed chicks in the others that were returned.
So it seems possible that he has also made mistakes. He has clearly not
candled them before hatching and not responded to the suggestion that they
should have been rested correctly too.

The breeder has certainly done a lot of homework, has birds from good
sources, whom he has probably learnt a lot from. He has been breeding
seriously for 4 years. No-one gets it right all the time. And he will have
learnt from things himself. Not being rude to customers, whatever the
provocation, would be a high priority one. Chances are if he hadn't reacted
that way, rumblings would not have got so upset.

All of which goes to show that Ebay is a very flawed system for eggs, and
its still not legal as all eggs for hatching 'are' livestock under EU, DEFRA
and World animal health regulations and that shipped hatching eggs from
anywhere is not the easiest thing to work with and you need as many
strategies in place to check eggs as they arrive, give them a chance to
recover and then go with what you get. Constructive feedback helps all
concerned.

Working positively with fellow breeders gets you much further than acting as
these were widgets off a supermarket shelf. Everyone gets to learn something
to make things better in the future. We have to work together, there are no
big boys out there breeding thousands of birds which we can just buy into,
like 40 -50 years ago.
