Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[mzstre]

I need some advice please from Shellie or anyone else with sebbies. I have 2 sweethearts, Curly and Ruffy. They rule the yard and sleep in the coop with my layer flock. I bought them last spring as goslings and the breeder thought that one was male and one was female. That might be correct because I think I caught a glimpse of Curly trying to cover Ruffy in the water a couple of days ago. So...do sebbies start laying at a year? If so, what type of nesting area should I provide? Is it ok that they still sleep in the coop or would it be better for them to have their own place?

Event: Easter Reverse Swap
When: March 30, 2013
Time: 5pm to 11pm EST
Participants: Members in good standing with the Swap Thread.
Rules: All members of the Swap thread are allowed to participate. In order to offer Spring or later eggs, you must be on the completely unrestricted list. Walli can post a list of all participants that are unrestricted. If you wish to be a main offerer please PM me and put Easter Swap in the subject line. Sign ups will end on March 23, 2013. This will not be a free for all. Names of individuals who signed up to offer will be drawn at random. If you are not on when your name is drawn then you will be skipped. If we have time at the end we will pick someone at random to put an offer up. Any good standing participant of the swap can try to claim an offer. There will be a 5 minute time limit for participants to put their offers up. Once the time is up we will move on to the next offer while the offerer is considering offers. You do not have to take any offers if there is nothing that appeals to you.

How It Works: Not many of you know how a Reverse Swap works so hopefully this will help:

CPL offers 12+ Jubilee Orpington Chicks

The object is for other participants to offer something to CPL as a trade for those beautiful chicks.

COF offers 6 goslings

crfarm offers 24+ Marans chicks

madamwlf offers 12+ Black Barthuhner chicks

Now CPL can decline all offers but instead she accepts madamwlf's offer Barthuhner chicks. If you have any questions please ask. This is a immensely fun swap and it can get crazy!!!

Oh it is loads of fun. Maybe someone can come up with some games and we can get Walli to give out some Wildcard swaps.

Not I pen has a top! She regularly flies onto our roof, and I don't have the heart t clip her wings. But I vote for a cut in 1/2 barrel. In fact I'm going to have d bring me one home from work today to try and seduce her into laying in a better spot!
