I had hatcher/incubator problems there in the end and feel lucky that I ended up with one little cayaga duckling from chickenlover54. Came home and found the hatcher at 200* and the Incubator at 93*. Lost everything in the hatcher but think most is ok in the incubator. My new little cayaga...

The gmail is acting crazy today! I'm gonna try checking up on everybody tonight and see whats gone out and what is still out and give everybody an update.
Everything is supposed to be a secret or like a game. I don't like surprises and try to figure out who sent me eggs and what they are! We do have some that play that are tight lipped and you can't get anything out of them until they hatch. I received peafowl eggs once with a cut up picture of...
The rules are the same and swaps are supposed to be surprises but like you I HATE surprises so I haven't said anything. oh! wait a minute . . . . I'm the cordinator now - I know who and what my swaps are!!
So tell me . . . . does the majority want surprises or does it matter??
