Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Turkey eggs are here! Just got my Narragansetts from WVstruttin -- absolutely beautifully packed, very safe and secure. Thanks so much!

Oh man, Wingstone! Now I can't wait for my serama eggs! Although mine are from reesepoultry. Those are the CUTEST poults I've ever seen!

I just thought I would point out something to those claiming Spring eggs and offering Spring eggs. If you use all your swaps a week 7 every week that is 28 a month. If you do this every month Oct-Feb that is 140 Swaps or 70 dozen eggs you will owe in the Spring.

Now even if the eggs are not a problem for you what about postage say even $8 per swap that is $1120 in just postage alone you will need in the Spring to ship your eggs. And if anything were to happen and you had to paypal to meet your obligations it would be $2100. I just don't want anyone getting in over their heads or claiming more than they can afford to lose.

If you claimed all your swaps a week your postage would be $224 per month to mail them all out at $8 each.

Please, Please, Please keep this in mind while swapping/claiming.

That said "on with the show"

Do you still go look in thed incubator like I do even though you know there's no chicks in there ???

Funny you should ask, I have looked twice today!

I have to content myself with looking at all the chicks in the brooder!

Got my first two batches of swap eggs today from sebrightmom. I probably have another 4-5 dozen eggs coming soon.

It's been SOOOOOOOO hard on me to have my incubators shut down.

It was that inconvenient trip to Cabo

Now I have to be careful I don't have all my "cooking space" used up when it's time to set for the annual NYD hatch.

Yes, New Year's Day. It's a fun hatch along, lots of contests and an unbelievable number of eggs all hatched by BYC members.

Come join in.
