Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

I have a question- since it seems that "Hen's choice" is an acceptable primary offer, and I've seen Olive Eggers in said offers, does that mean I could offer Hen's choice of FBCM's covered by a feather-shanked Blue Copper Marans roo, and OE eggs that are EE eggs, but covered by the same roo?

I was under the impression that the first offer was supposed to be PB from a single pen, but I guess it doesn't say that anywhere.

Your first offer must be purebred then you can offer anything after that.

Ex.....

6 Serama

or

6 EE

She has EE/OE & project birds listed as acceptable offers. Someone also previously asked about offering a mix of pure breds in 1 offer due to sufficient egg supply & Rachael told them that was acceptable as well. For example, the pen I offer EE/OE/CE from is EE & brown layers covered by EE & Chocolate egger roos. This produces EE/OE/CE offspring depending on the specific pairing for each egg.

I gotcha, but since EE's and OE's are essentially mutts, I was wondering if they were acceptable to be in the combo of a Hen's Choice first offer... It's all I've got laying right now >.<

*Edit* I know she says EE's are okay, but OE's aren't mentioned and my EE eggs in appearance are covered by a Marans roo, so they're not really EE eggs... If that clarifies at all?

Quote: Rachael specifically listed them in the rules as project birds & acceptable.

I just re-read the rules and see no OE's mentioned. That's why I asked...

I guess I'm confused too since the rules on page 1 of the swap say this:

All pure breeds of poultry are welcome in the swap. Easter Eggers are Welcome as all as they are non-standard color Ameraucanas. meaning mixed color Ameraucanas

- maybe I missed it somewhere else or it was discussed earlier in the swap thread and I missed that too

Aren't EE/OE essentially the same project since you get shades of blue & green depending on the specific mix of birds used

Huh... never thought of it like that. That does make a heck of a lot of sense, though! I think if that is the general consensus, I'll roll with that Thanks!

According to the definition of EE in the rules, they are mixed color Ameraucanas, not Ameraucanas mixed with something else. I guess I don't see why one mutt breed (say Ameraucana x BCM) would be allowed, but not another one. If the first offer is supposed to be pure bred, then mixes of any sort would not qualify as a first offer. Just my 2 cents. Of course, anything goes after the first offer of pure bred eggs is met. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
