Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[AyeUpChuck]

Well, I raise FCBM. THAT is ammmmzing eating. We do eat some of the silkie roos too, and that is a bit weird. But the Marans roos have inspired me to think about bresse . We raise BSF so we could keep the natural protien high, and do while grains and powdered milk fairly easily, and I do free range my girls on grass so they eat a lot of vegatation. SO while I cant be Bresse, france, I could do what can be done in California. BUt of course I cant sell them butchered here becuse the laws are frigging insane.

We raise BCMs as well. Some of our boys have been really big but most of those have been too decent to use for meat and have gone way past any sort of roasting stage. They've been stewing birds for sure. I'm a chef by trade and got really excited when I found out that GFF imported the Bresse. We actually have juvies and hatching eggs for white bresse headed our way! I can't WAIT to start butchering those birds. They're going to have over an acre of pasture with orchard to graze on. I also just got an SQ trio of Bourbon Red Turkeys. We'll be eating very well next year!

OHH! Nice.
I can recomend super speedy stew for older Marans, they are great even older in stew. I could not eat my turkeys, they are too dependant on me. I tried naming then stuffing and crandberries, but they just took that as a challenge! Now they sit around on the porch and try to get me to turn on the TV for them to watch. They have pathetic down...

Have two packages already to go and I pay for the postage online and go to print the shipping labels and my printer ran out of ink!

Oh Murphy and his law!

More chicks!! how cute... making me even more excited about the NYDH!!!

I've heard Marans are really good eating, too... interesting, considering they are from France, too... Those Bresse sound almost unbelieable.. I'd like to try it someday...

I've been able to sell my extra roos for $5 on CL... no problem, there's also a fellow BYCer here by me who has a cockerel pen and he takes some of the extras,too...

 

[cluckitall]

I have to admit, it would never have occurred to me to consider marans as potential meat birds -- this despite the fact that my home-hatched half-marans roos were a good solid butchering weight at nine weeks. Guess I should've tried one!!!

I have a question...

Are we allowed to have contests on this chat thread? What I mean is, could I have a little contest for a certain "something" that would be given to swapper, for whoever posts the best picture of a something or other (as long as it is related to the swap)?

We are having contests for the Nye paypal hatching egg bash. PM me if you are interested in doing that for one of the contests.

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 2:00AM EST, Sat. Dec. 8. 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 20 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!

Welcome to draye, gabrielle1976, and SirUlrichsMom, our newest swappers! We're glad you've joined us!

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