I do believe KYTinpusher will be elaborating more on the roll back portion later.

The number of rollbacks has increased quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, necessitating a change in the way they are handled. In the past, when an offer was rolled back, the time count reverted to the last swapper whose offer is now up again, and the rolled back offer was NOT counted as one of the 7/week. Some of these rollbacks were done late at night, putting the swapper who was rolled back to at a distinct disadvantage - they may not know they are up to update their offer because their offer was claimed hours before and it is now a very slow time on the swap. Not counting a rolled back offer as one of the 7/week is quite frankly, a pain in the derriere - the more there are, the more of a pain it becomes. SO, that said, the new policy on rollbacks is this:

Not really a new rule, just an adjustment to the way swaps are counted:

When an offer is rolled back, either voluntarily or by one of the moderators, the time will continue to accrue for the offer (swapper) that was rolled back until the next claim is made. At the point an offer is rolled back, EITHER the rolled back offer or the previous offer may be claimed by the next person. Every valid claim, even if it is rolled back, will be counted as one of the 7/week.

EXAMPLE:

4:20 PM - Madamwlf offers 6+ Jubilee Orp eggs
4:21 PM - KYTinpusher claims madamwlf's Jubilee eggs

and offers 6+ BBS Orp eggs
10:21 PM - KYTinpusher's offer is rolled back because no one wants her BBS Orp eggs

At this point, EITHER madamwlf's Jubilee Orp eggs OR KYTinpusher's BBS Orp eggs may be claimed
10:34 PM - CelticOaksFarm claims madamwlf's Jubilee Orp eggs and puts up her offer.

In this example, madamwlf, KYTinpusher, and CelticOaksFarm would all be charged with 1 swap for the week, but KYT doesn't get any eggs; madamwlf would have acculated 1 minute toward the 24 hour limit and KYTinpusher would have accumulated 6 hours and 13 minutes toward the 24 hour limit. (If COF had claimed KYT's BBS Orp eggs, then KYT would still get the Jubilee Orp eggs.)

Has any dealt with an egg bound hen? My gorgeous frizzle cochin bantam hasn't laid me an egg yet, I got her at pol and I figured during the winter she was just waiting to. I just picked her up and noted her lower belly seemed bloated. She is acting fine, but never noticed bloating before. The area soft not hard. Should I glove up and check what's going on inside her vent seemed larger.

I think this is a good idea. The example given explains it well, but I'd like it better if I claimed Madam's Jubilee Orps

She may not be egg bound but more an internal layer, a lot worse I do believe. With egg bound it is possible to save her, internal laying is not a savable illness. On second thought, if she is egg bound and her stomach is already bloated you may not be able to save her then either. We had one that had a bloated stomach. When we put her down we opened her up to see. She had an egg stuck but it was encased in layers of tissue. She had dozens of partial eggs backed up behind that one egg.

:bawl
If its too late when there is swelling, how do you know when a hen is egg bound?

She was acting fine. Running around the yard and eating/drinking like normal. I read a couple of things to try, like humidifier (aka hot water in a tub) under her, olive oil :/

I can't lose her!!!!! She's the only one left of my good cochin flock. :bawl
