That is such a generous offer, certainly no one is responsible for fulfilling anyone else's swaps. I think accepting any swap is just a leap of faith. When you are dealing on the internet, you never know for sure about the person you are trading with, even a company. My opinion was always, don't do a trade that will break you.
It's much like lending money to a friend or family member. Assume it's a gift and if they repay you, that's a bonus. That way you can't be disappointed and ruin a relationship, you can only be pleasantly surprised when they follow through.
And I have hatched quite a few swap eggs, I now have some lovely chicks growing out in my flock..................BBS marans, BBS ameraucana, lilac ameraucana............I forget what else at the moment. It always gives me pleasure to hear about my "grandchicks" hatching out and living in various parts of the country.
I will admit I am greedily anticipating eggs for crele orps, chocolate orps, Stukel BR..................and chicks from the lav. orps that are already in the incubator.
