******ALL ABOARD! We're looking to start an EGG TRAIN!*******

[Msbear]

I don't understand how people are going to know who is traveling in their direction. ...without scrolling through pages of chatter. I was thinking the spreadsheet could do that. You could have multiple spreadsheets..

Are the coordinators going to be responsible for that? Like, if I was interested in getting something from FL, I would contact the FL coordinator and they would hook me up with someone? If so, that sounds super nice but, wouldn't it be time consuming for the coordinators? ... I guess, after awhile? not trying to poo poo. I think this is a great idea... just trying to understand

I think if the coordinators are organized enough it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Like have a data map and a list of who all is registered with the Egg Train. If you wanted something from FL map out the route and contact the registered members along that route. It's a process that shouldn't be too terribly time consuming.

Sorry I haven't been much help lately everyone.
My husband had things to do for Memorial weekend. It was HIS weekend and he never particapates in anything. He did this year and that's a huge thing for us. He is a 100% disabled Viet Nam Vet. Retired Green Barret, was a POW, 3 Purple Hearts, etc, etc. He talks about nothing, but has extreme PTSD, so for him to feel finallyy like he was a part of something is making me feel like he's may get a little better. He's old so he better hurry up.

This week???

Son graduates JH tonight and then 2 more days of school.
Grandson graduates the 4th from HS and big party planned, so more time taken up.
The 5th is our Chickenstock!!!!

We'll be gone from probably weee hours of the morning till weee hours of the next morning but will be worth it.

And I got a little carried away yesterday and ended up with 15 new birds, so been working on taking an old canary breeding cage apart all morning and between that and a discarded desk I found, I'm building coops and runs.

We will need to have spreadsheets and a way for all of the coordinators to be in contact or be able to share information.
I personally won't try to go back on facebook. I ended up with error messages and a blue screen and had to reinstall and repair XP just to get back on. I should have a new pc in a couple of months, but have to deal with my tired laptop until then.

This project could never be done by one person. I'm so happy so many people are becoming involved and especially TERRY! and everyone who has become COORDINATORS!

All the extra project you have all taken on are so much appreciated, I just can't express enough how much this means.

I need to go get tires. One more fun thing to do and hopefully I can get back in here before the graduation tonight, but will definately try after I get back.

I'll try my best to at least refresh and look at new posts, so please don't panick.
It's gonna work !

Wolftracks.... she has speckled sussex, golden laced blue Wyndottes, Golden laced Wyndottes, buff Brahams, bunches of Cochins, Welsummers, RIR, Amarucanas, Pheasants, and some giant ones I forget the name but they were pretty. I think there were more than this though. I just candled and all were good except one of the speckled sussex. I am in Red Bluff and she is in Anderson. She charges $5.00 a dozen. Which is Not bad at all.

WOW at $5 a dozen I could fill my Sportsman!

Maybe I need the egg train to bring me some eggs from your area.

Hear that people?
Kimi needs eggs!

I'll be checking in now and then. Need to get a couple of these temp coops done asap.
Sone didn't want to go out to dinner or for ice cream. Three beean burritos from Taco Bell! yuck! That's all he wanted.
I gootta work in that boy.

 

[naturesluxuries]

That would be neat. We are 3 hours or so from you. I just candled again and now I am thinking all of the speckled sussex are duds. She said I could take them back for some fertile ones though. Everything else is growing well. I hope someone can get them down to you. She has quite a variety. What kinds do you have?
