No, BM6 has my barnies. I got some but it was too late to add them to my box of chicks so I had Jenny send them with CPL's chicks. BM6 is suppose to have them.

Event: Easter Reverse Swap
When: March 30, 2013
Time: 5pm to 11pm
Participants: Members in good standing with the Swap Thread.
Rules: All members of the Swap thread are allowed to participate. In order to offer Spring or later eggs, you must be on the completely unrestricted list. Walli can post a list of all participants that are unrestricted. If you wish to be a main offerer please PM me and put Easter Swap in the subject line. Sign ups will end on March 23, 2013. This will not be a free for all. Names of individuals who signed up to offer will be drawn at random. If you are not on when your name is drawn then you will be skipped. If we have time at the end we will pick someone at random to put an offer up. Any good standing participant of the swap can try to claim an offer. There will be a 5 minute time limit for participants to put their offers up. Once the time is up we will move on to the next offer while the offerer is considering offers. You do not have to take any offers if there is nothing that appeals to you.

How It Works: Not many of you know how a Reverse Swap works so hopefully this will help:

CPL offers 12+ Jubilee Orpington Chicks

The object is for other participants to offer something to CPL as a trade for those beautiful chicks.

COF offers 6 goslings

crfarm offers 24+ Marans chicks

madamwlf offers 12+ Black Barthuhner chicks

Now CPL can decline all offers but instead she accepts madamwlf's offer Barthuhner chicks. If you have any questions please ask. This is a immensely fun swap and it can get crazy!!!

So then would it be your turn to put something up and others bid again? Or is someone drawn from the list then?

Laughing cause I just sent Blackbrook eggs. Turkey eggs. She's gonna be another turkey addict.

Oh my gosh, you guys are so hard to keep up with between potato leek soup prep and oatmeal cake.. it's cooking/baking day and there were so many posts I wanted to comment on.. my heart goes out to those who've lost children. It is so hard on a family and the pain is unbearable sometimes. I haven't lost any personally, but our family has so I understand...

Good to know about tracking numbers on side swaps. Really excited about the Easter Reverse swap!

I can relate to a lot of the sense of loss expressed here today. I had ovarian cancer about 7 years ago and a full hysterectomy. I didn't think that it would bother me at the time because I didn't think I wanted kids, but it gets to me sometimes. It has been really hard the last two years. I always said I didn't want kids because I raise other people's kids for a living! But it's hard to help others parent and go home alone. Kids are a lot like turkey's, you can't help but love them to death even when they drive you nuts! In reality nothing like turkey's, but I sure think loving the chickens and turkey's help us cope with both the loss of what was and the loss of what could have been.
