Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Who is this swapper? Can someone please pm me the name so I don't claim eggs from them

they are on the first swapping page- under the "list"

 

[TNBEARCHICK]

do watch out because they were trying to do side swaps (the "said"swapper)

I know some think the egg stamp link I shared is expensive, but if you want a custom stamp they are very reasonable. They are working with us to see if we can recreate our logo in a stamp. Since its so intricate I am happy to pay their price if it can be done. If you just want to use letter or a simple image then yes they are higher than buying at a craft store and just buying the food grade ink.

It would be worth it if I had a logo! I need a business name first though. I want something to reflect the Louisiana culture and the fact that it's a small business. What does everyone think about Mélange Micro Farm? A mélange is a medley or mixture which is exactly what I've got. Comments or suggestions?

Sorry.... This may be a dumb question, but are they the same as an Arkansas Blue?

Not exactly. The SBEL are normally made with Americauna and don't breed true. The Arkansas Blue has been bred through enough generations that it isn't a hybrid. It breeds true and you get blue egg laying BBS colored pea-combed chickens. It started with commercial leghorns and Araucana. There won't be any beards or muffs.

I know, right? I saw that they had been mis-sent to Junction yesterday and called the nice lady at the PO who gave me her direct line when she was researching a missing package. She was flabergasted. Especially since they just screwed up another one of my packages. She said I should get it today, I hope so!

Ok...so I am going to write a book, "adentures in absurdity: how chickens took over my relatively sane suburban life". Here is one story for the book.

A women contacted me who really, really wanted a roo. She lives in wisconsin. Well my work is closer toher than my home, I agreed to meet her before work with s chick. Well, we agreed we would do this today before class. SSomehow the signals got crossed and she did not appear for her chick. Now I have a little chick, no light and I have to go to class. So I try to sneak into the building and ran right into the campus director who promptly said "kristie, are you chirping?" By now I am late, so as I am runnibg I muble something incherent about a mistake before class. So I get class, of course today of all days, accreditors are visiting. I think, ok....I just have to keep a low profile. So here are my students, keeping the chick warm while I am teaching. Because this is my luckiest day ever, my class comes up randomly to be observed by both the accrediting team and the director. God love my students. Now in addition to keeping the chick warm, they are now hiding him under the table teying desperately not to get "caught" with the bird under the table and my campus director gives me a very distinct look that I interpreted with only little humor, "so kristie, whatcha gonna do now"? Though, my students were increfibly good at hiding the little roo and keeping him happy, I also knew the lady I wss giving him to was about to show up in the middle of class so I had to very delicately explain the unusual mess. It is a good thing they had a sense of humor. Not one of my proudest professional moments!

They made it. The two marans were smushed and all were covered in egg goo. I rinsed them in warm water and now they're resting.
