I have also now seen this auction by nununini01 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160210802397 <http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160210802397> sold on 23 Feb 6 Welsummer eggs, on 3rd March nununini01 left feedback for the 'BUYER' saying /"Many thanks, we had 6 out of 6 hatch last night pics will be up on PP later:)"/ see here/ //http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=nununini01&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers/ <http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=nununini01&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers> , now this leaves me confused on two counts. Firstly how can 6 eggs sold on 23rd Feb hatch by 3rd March? Also, why would a seller leave a buyer feedback saying 6 out of 6 hatched??? Isn't it the buyer that would leave the feedback reflecting this, presuming that these are super chickens that can hatch in just 8 days from being sold?

I don't see any problem there - the buyer thomas-bradbury left feedback for the seller nununini01 on 3rd March 11:05 saying "nice looking eggs hopefully will get a good hatch thanx"

The seller nununini01 left feedback for the buyer Thomas-Bradbury on 3rd March 11:05 (presumably thanking him for the pos) saying "Many thanks, we had 6 out of 6 hatch last night pics will be up on PP later:)" That doesn't read to me like its meant to be refering to bought eggs, but rather a reference to his own hatching from the same eggs. - He is obviously delighted to have got 100% and couldn't refrain from adding that bit of info to the feedback.

I am slightly surprised however to see that the two bits of feedback are within a minute of each other - so you may be on to something.
