Since I ended up with 2 silkie boys and I can't seem to get rid of them, would anyone have a couple silkie hens they can part with? Would like any color but white and would prefer at least 6 months old but it would put my mind at ease if there were already laying so I know they are hens. I am...

www.backyardchickens.com/a/shannondee12-swap-page sorry, I always forget to post it for the mobile users.

I will claim the turkey eggs and offer up my swap page. Please note that if wanting Blue swedish duck eggs, I just separated them this morning so it will be at least 3 weeks before I can ship pure eggs.

what color are the polish?

Yay! Just let me know what and when.

I know the feeling, I have 3 bators full right now but I couldn't pass up the turkey eggs. That's why I offered up my swap page. Tons of non-egg stuff to choose from. I feel bad for stalling the thread.

I am so glad that it made it there in good shape. Those jars are kind of like my babies so I package them as well as possible. If you want to send eggs, I won't refuse them but it isn't necessary at all. Just part of the swap.

I can add in anything from my swap page, including freshly made wild violet jelly, dandelion jelly or pickled ramps. www.backyardchickens.com/a/shannondee12-swap-page

Ramps are easy to tell what they are. All you have to do is pull some up. They will look like green onions only with broader green tops. A white bulb on the bottom with a root system. Then, just smell it. It is unmistakable. I don't wait for them to pop up to full size. I dig the little...

I eat it on just about everything. To me and my kids it tastes like honey, but with a slight floral taste. It is a beautiful clear sunny yellow. Ramps are wild onions/leeks. Most cook with them. Our family favorite is just fried with potatoes. They can be strong so a little goes a long way.

Freshly made batches of wild violet jelly, dandelion jelly and pickled ramps if anyone is interested in side swaps!

This is my first time on this particular swap so let me know if this isn't done right. I call mine on the slate eggs and offer 8 crested blue Swedish/KC cross duck eggs Or 12+ barnyard chicken mix ( hens are pure SLW, GLW, BO covered by a SLW/EE ROO) OR 6 pure blue Swedish duck eggs to ship 5/7/14

These are some of my duck eggs done by my 12 year old daughter as a way to earn money for her trip to Ireland next year. She first makes canes from metallic polymer clay and then covers the blown eggs, bake, buff, seal and shine them. I am very proud of her artistic ability and so far she has...

I'm putting your jerky in the dehydrater tonight to ship out on Tuesday Chiqita.

I have a beautiful silkie for sale if anyone is interested. I hatched the eggs myself but they came from a breeder in California from show stock. I am thinking it is a Roo but not sure. It hatched on Christmas Eve. It has a huge pouffy crest. Right now I have 2 and one is crowing but he is a...
