4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch / December online hatching egg swap

[KYTinpusher]

Can I get a hint on the eggs, do they go in today with my ducks for  new years or in the other bator. 

They are Ancona Duck eggs. Is that what you were looking for?

Just an FYI, I am undecided if I will continue the monthly swap. It seems like we have somebody from the November swap that decided not to follow through with their swap. I don't like being put in that position so I will take a little time to reflect.

If it's any consolation, it looks like the same person who has been sending rotten eggs, when they bother to send any at all. Ban the member from further swapping. Keep an eye on other swap pages to keep up with anyone who isn't sending their swap items, and if they sign up, simply explain that they have to be cleared on the other swaps before they can enter.

From the sounds of it, it is the same person. The thing that makes the monthly swaps different is that the host backs up all the swaps, so if somebody doesn't follow through, that leaves me sending eggs. (This is how it was when I took over.) I cannot afford much extra shipping right now due to being unemployed (well, I have a part time job to make my house payment and the chickens need to pay for themselves).

I can cover one swap for you, but it won't be until the new year. I have some eggs going out next week, and I don't want to ship any later than that with the pokey xmas mail. But, I can easily send them on 1/7, if that's acceptable. They'll be duck eggs, again, hopefully that works out? I know, it's no consolation for those who wanted a NYD hatch though. :/

I know which person you are referring to. Reesepoultry had me hold out sending his eggs on her swap until we made sure he was going to send. He didn't. So Reese & I ended up sending to his partners so they wouldn't be out a swap. She has banned him from her swap permanently. Maybe the same should be done on yours. If I understand right, that's how the chains do it. When someone doesn't send their items they get banned from swapping.

I'd definitely ban the individual. There are at least a dozen people the person didn't ship to, and I'm sure there's at least double that amount, and the ones that actually had their eggs shipped seem to be having issues with rotten eggs (they arrive rotten). I'm not sure why the person is still swapping, you'd think they'd be embarassed as sin to even attempt to keep swapping, but they continue to snatch up as many swaps as possible. :/

I think I have one covered. The other said to put the eggs in the egg bank for the Pay Pal/Hatching egg swap. I'll let you know.

He WILL NOT be swapping with us again or be any part of any swaps I am part of. Since I don't follow the Pay Pal swap, I had no idea about the issues over there.

 

[mrheinz77]

I did get eggs from him but several were broken. 2 formed blood rings. The others were clear but I watched them like a hawk.

 

[Bettacreek]

I'm a nut, I have been following just about ALL of the swap pages, and the member has caused problems on just about every swap. WYGS, the egg chain, the paypal chain, here, etc. And, people are pretty open about it, so why that individual isn't ashamed of themselves is simply beyond me.

Anyways, just let me know.
