    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    kuntrygirl, according to BYC rules all swaps must be put in the different forum for Chicken-Egg swaps section. Since several wants me to oversee this I guess I can. I will go back thru all the suggestions brought up here and compose a final "rules and guidelines" for this so everyone can see it...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    I used to post a lot in the other forums before I got peas so I would look like a complete stranger outside of here and with only 1336 posts I'm a "newby" compared to many other members here.

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Boy, I stay outta here a day or two and get waay behind. But I do have a great excuse and that was getting new peas,and new peas are new eye candy for years to come. So,should we go ahead and get this on the other forum and give everyone a chance to get their lists togather and see who's...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Okay, I made a call to Ill Dept of Ag today and am getting my NPIP paperwork in order. Seems there is a lot of opinions about this for an egg-live pea swap so how about this? If you NPIP certified you must include your state number in your trade ect. It will then be up to you at your discretion...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Maybe we should start this in mid April? Seems to be interest here in this small group and by putting it in the other section many more will see it. It may not really take off until May for the peafowl tho considering checking for fertility,ect.

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    BTW,at this very moment on E-Bay there is 13 peacock egg auctions,,I know Bigcreek Poultry is NPIP but not one other listing shows any information about their birds coming from NPIP flocks,,yet I don't see any stipulations about no out of state sales in any of those ads.

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    I've personally applied to the Ill Dept of Ag last June about getting NPIP certified.I was told by the veterinarian in charge that Illinois state budget had only 1 statewide inspector who was coming to do the in site samples.I asked him since all eggs and birds I had purchased came from NPIP...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Trefoil .yes according to BYC rules all swaps must be put in the other section It's kind of a bummer in my opinion too since we are probably one of the smallest groups on this forum. But just because the swap will be started there doesn't mean we can't have another thread here for discussions of...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Kuntrygirl, you can check to see at least if your eggs are fertilized by cracking them open and looking for a Bullseye in the yolk, just as in chicken eggs. I'm thinking somewhere on the lines of making this a "peachick hatched" as well as egg swap.. Of course live peachicks are not the same...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Was reading another 1245 page swap here on BYC that is ongoing now,,,in that swapfest they swap DVD'S,,coupons,ect. The rules in that swap limits new members to only a few swaps per week,with everyone whos been a member longer than 3 months able to make 4 swaps per week total I think.Seems some...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    Been thinking on and off about this all day,,hamster cage was really spinning earlier. I suppose first we should locate a moderator? How,or who is the one in charge for spanking-time outs in the peafowl forum? I'm guessing there is some BYC not liable thingy? I see no problem with swapping...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    I've been casually reading other swaps here on BYC,,each is diffrent.Some of them has each person sign up (as in one Easter egg hatch day swap going on now) where each person must donate 6 chicken eggs and they must be shipped all on the same day within the group.With spring just around the...

    Peafowl egg swap anyone?

    I've seen this done on other threads here especially with Chickens,,who here in the pea community would be interested in trying something like this? Maybe I should read the rules done in other egg swaps first to get the general idea of how it's done but since shipping peas eggs is tough...
