Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[CluckyCharms]

I don't recommend a hatching spree.... I kinda did that when I finished my mega bator..... 1 batch of 180 and next batch of 220..... I thought I would only get about half to hatch...... no such luck. It is a lot of fun trying to get over a 100 eggs in the hatcher with baskets for every breed and type.

good grief Charlie Brown, yeh...I can see how that would be troublesome to say the least, (but funny to me, since I wasn't the one doing it, hehehe)

We are now almost 3 months into this thread and we would like to make sure that everyone is meeting their obligations in a timely manner. If you have claimed eggs before Nov. 20th (unless the offer stated there would be a delay) and have not received them or a DC# that they have been sent, please PM me with the details. If you have claimed PP and it has not been sent within 3 days, also let us know. We will try to make sure we keep on top of any trends.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet to see the results:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am7IlDTXygsBdFBSanFsNDJRamN4THlUT3dMOHowWHc#gid=0


I have finally finished a summary of all the swaps since the beginning of this thread up to Nov. 15. It is sorted according to each swapper and includes the swaps you claimed and the ones you promised. It can be accessed here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am7IlDTXygsBdGZ5Vi1ta0lFRmY4UHhiRGhYdHFpcXc
Disclaimer:This spreadsheet is for reference only. I believe all are valid swaps, but I may have missed a roll back or two. If you find a mistake, let me know and I will investigate it.


Here are this week's current standings as of 12:30AM EST, Thu. Dec. 6. For all potential new swappers, we welcome your participation, but please read the rules on page 1, post #1 of this thread.

Game #1 - Whenever someone goes over 7 swaps, they lose 2 swaps the following week. The first person to catch it and post "Jinx"- (name of person going over), gets an extra swap in the current week. If crazypetlady (CPL) goes over, everyone gets an extra swap that week, and the first person to catch her and post "Jinx-CPL" gets a special prize of eggs from CPL. Start stalking!


CPL went over this week, so everyone gets 14 swaps this week!


Game #2 - Whoever claims the 50th, 75th, and 100th swap of the day (yes, I think we will get up that high this spring or before) will win an extra wild card swap to be used in the winner's week of choice.


Those in red are done swapping until 12:01 EST on Sun. Dec. 9. Those in yellow are getting close to a limit.

Below is a list of the new swappers that still have to complete their initial 7 swaps, so are limited to one swap at a time until each one is verified. Once you have been cleared by crazypetlady, kraftyladies, babymakes6 or madamwlf for another swap, you may claim another, regardless of what my list says. I don't keep track of whose swaps have been verified, just the swappers that need to have that done. My list is only published once a night, but your swapping status may change a few times during the day. Once all of your 7 initial verified swaps are completed, your name will be moved to the big list. I may not have everyone's name here that is already swapping, but all new swappers will be added here until I hear differently. As long as all your previous swaps have been completed and verified, you are good to go! Happy swapping!

You asked for it, and here it is - swap totals since the beginning of the thread for the new swappers!

Got my eggs from papabrooder today. Swap on till the cows come home!

Yes they are. Some people hatch Wheaten ams with feathered legs.... left over from the original cross.

That explains why I have such a hard time distinguishing between the two. Granted, when I'm looking at an SQ SF against an SQ WA the differences are apparent, but if you're just flipping through Google images it's not so easy.

There are SEVERAL POST with her address

Well you know how it is, you start saving eggs for the new bator, then it takes longer to finish than you thought, so the eggs just keep piling up and getting older...... So I set I think the 220 first since they were the oldest and I set the eggs I picked up at Newnan since I could not replace those easy. Then I set the freshest eggs about 3-4 days later..... MOST of the eggs that where about a month old hatched plus the new eggs. I hatched 120 chicks from VERY OLD eggs and the new one..... CRAZYNESS! NEVER AGAIN! I will only every set about 120 eggs at a time.

 

[cluckitall]

Well, I really spent myself into the poorhouse and bought two egg turners for the new drink-u-bator

(used to be a wine fridge!) so I won't be doing more than 80 or so, I don't think (unless I've massively miscounted somewhere...) -- which counts as a mega-hatch for me!!!
