You contact aussiesharon for her paypal, then once she receives it she contacts the doner to send the eggs to you.

We are considering options for this thread. Please carry on as normal. I removed the posts questioning moderation.

 

[shelleyd2008]

I can offer duck eggs. They would most likely be mixed, but possible pures as well. The only duck I have laying right now (at least for the eggs I am finding) is a pekin, and there are pekin, rouen, and cayuga drakes.

I would say I can offer 4, but it might be more. I'll ship next Wednesday, so whatever I get between now and then. I have no bator space for them atm.

Shipping from KY, 4+ pekin pure/mix duck eggs.

it would be easier to carry on like normal if people could find the thread.

Hi everyone!

The BYC staff have been discussing this thread extensively and something very important came up during our conversations which is was related to this thread being a fundraiser, which we unfortunately can't allow on BYC.

Regarding donations, fundraiser, etc.: We have discussed this a lot over the years and have decided that we can't allow public donations or solicitations for donations. Unfortunately we've had to draw a hard line and disallow fund raising or any other types of charitable requests. There are two main reasons:

1) Fraud - There have been multiple times where members have been burned when trying to "do the right thing". We aren't saying this is one of those times, but our first obligation is to protect our members. Unfortunately this comes with a price and we've had to weigh the pros and cons of both decisions.

2) Consistent Rule Enforcement / Setting A Precedent - We realized early on that when we allowed one person (or group on behalf of a person) to promote or receive charitable gifts / donations it opens up potential floodgates for other members to request the same. We'd end up with a ton of charity posts and then emails saying "Well, you let xxxx member ask / receive money for their problems / cause... why can't we!?".

Now, since this thread just recently came to our attention as a fundraising thread, we won't remove it, but after talking with the original poster we've decided to simply close it. If there are some loose ends that need to be addressed, please do so via PM.

Again, it hasn't been an easy decision but we're obligated to do what is best for the community as a whole even if it has the unfortunate look like we are blocking help to a person or organization that really is having a hard time or needs help. Hopefully this doesn't come across mean, but shows how much we know and care about the BYC community.

Thank you all for being an engaged and caring community. If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the above, just pm the original poster or a member of the staff.
