Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[Overoberyl]

Hi everyone! I am just a lurker on the swap thread until I can get my flock separated out into breeding pens again and know that I can offer pure eggs. I have a small flock of Basque (Euskal Oiloa, Marraduna Basque) and a small flock of Lavender and Black split Ameraucanas that are laying now. I'm really excited about my new additions - I have some juvenile BLRWs (1 cockerel & 4 pullets) that I recently acquired direct from Jerry Foley that should be laying by spring.
I think it's a really great idea that some of you have been offering a back up PayPal payment in the event that something happens to your flock that would make you unable to fulfill obligations for spring eggs. I am sorry to say that I have an example of why an alternate should be offered. I had an awesome little flock of Olandsk Dwarfs and a predator recently killed all but my rooster and one hen. Had I participated in the swap and offered spring eggs, I would have been unable to fulfill that obligation.
I'll keep lurking for now and will have to get more information on how to get cleared to swap when I have eggs available. I can't wait to join in!

Welcome!

Is anyone else not able to post pics? I can't even find that tool bar anymore even when I click on "full page editor"

On mine, I can post the pic, but it only shows an html website until I post it. Once it is posted, it puts the full picture up.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your recent loss.

All of my swaps have been for Spring eggs, and I hope no one else would suffer a loss like yours. But we all know that things happen, and when something totally out of your control does happen, I am sure the BYCers that you owe eggs to would work out something equitable with you. I think it is great that some members even offered to buy eggs from other sources to meet their obligations. I think it is great too that you are cautious in offering eggs in the Spring, as you don't want to disappoint.

Hope you can join in soon.

You can do one swap, get cleared for it, do another, get cleared for that one, etc until you reach 7 cleared swaps, then...SWAP ON baby!!!!!

Sometimes Olandsk Dwarfs show up here, so watch for them!

Kraftyladies, do you have pics of your gold-laced orps? I got those for Spring and would love to see some pics. The lemon orps are pretty. I am so tempted.
