Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Uhh unfortunately some of their rhodebars are laying green eggs.

I sure hope they didn't send me those.

That has to be extremely frustrating. Can't imagine spending that kind of money on eggs and then having to wait for months to figure out whether I had breeding combinations, or even what I have.

I was looking to check and compare on contest eggs and gave up because a lot of the breeds they have don't even tell what color they lay and then don't have examples except for the Isbars.

You can look most of them up on the internet.

Just do what I"m doing, take an uneducated guess and hope for the best.

Oh, so now I'm playing a guessing game. I got my GFF eggs today and they didn't send codes this time. Some I recognized, others no. I got mint green eggs. I'm assuming Isbars but I've never seen them mint green. Then I got one egg with a code I've not seen before and it was only one egg. And it didn't look like the rest. Kind of light brown but it had some speckles on it.

What color egg do the Ayam Cemani lay? I must admit I don't like plain black birds...I just don't. I love the white crested black polish and when I saw the Ayam Cemani I REALLY liked it...it's all black technically, but it's so black that it glows blue so that's why I like them. Anyway...I know GFF has those, wonder if one of your mysery eggs is from one of them?

for guessing the breeds for the contest

Did they hatch madam?

I hightly doubt they're Ayam Cemani eggs since they just hatched thier first chick of that breed a few weeks ago. I have described my CCL eggs precisely as "mint green". No kidding. So I think they sent you CCL eggs. Hope they are from the newest line. Them sure are pretty CCLs they have now. I'm considering ordering more, except for the disclaimer that they cannot select chicks from a specific breeding group to fill orders. With my luck I'd get more of what I already have. I want the new line. At the prices they charge, I should be able to select which line my CCL chicks come from.

Good evening all. We are going to try something different on x-mas eve 4-12 We are going to do a "backwards" swap. whoever is up their offer will be suspended at 4pm and re-instated at midnight, in other words it will be on hold.

Then we are going to "backwards" swap

For example

I might offer $30 paypal

Then everyone will post what they have to offer for my $30 I will have 1/2 to pick something or let someone else try their luck.

It will go like this

crazypetlady offer $30 paypal

Madamwlf offers 3 rotten goose eggs

crazypetlady PASS

babymakes6 offers 6 infertile goose eggs

crazypetlady PASS

KYTinpusher offers 100 Jubliee Orp eggs

crazypetlady MINE MINE MINE MINE all MINE

Then crazypetlady sends KYTinpusher $30 and KYTinpusher sends crazypetlady 100 jubliee orp eggs

Now KYTinpusher has the option of being up or she can pass it to the next person.

We will pick who starts by using a random number generator. Those who want to play will guess a number between 1-100 and the closest will start the night.

It may be really fun or dud we will find out. If you have any questions PM me.
