I want everybody to feel that they can join and that the eggs will be sent. This is why a deadline is set.

IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET YOUR EGGS OUT ON TIME, DO NOT SIGN UP!

Please make sure that you are ready for eggs when you join this swap. It is not possible to wait for your incubator to get empty.

There have been problems in the past with people not receiving, or not informing 'us' that they have received, their eggs.

Please people, make sure you post here when you receive your eggs!!

There were a few problems with previous swaps, but for the most part, everything has went well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer
This swap is not endorsed by BYC (owner, website, staff, etc.). The BYC Staff is not responsible and will not mediate if something goes "wrong" or a deal goes "bad". If you choose to participate in a swap, it is best to know who you are swapping with and not to swap more than you can afford to lose. The BYC Staff is sensitive because some past swaps have not worked out. We want our members to feel comfortable having fun with these and other social interactions, but please keep in mind that there were issues with some organizers and swappers not following through on their commitments in the past.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rules

So big rule #1 If you have mixed you will probably only get mixed

#6 Everyone will be required to send 6 eggs except for those sending goose, turkey or peafowl, the min for these is 4. You're welcome to send more. Please try to send the cleanest eggs possible.

I have opened the JUNE EGG SWAP for sign ups. I am on the way out the door for a long weekend and will not be back until Tuesday. So, if you send me a PM you will not get a response until Tuesday. If you have a question, just post it and someone will answer it for you.
 
Yay! Sign me up times two!

Hmmm, I am not sure. I keep grabbing stuff off the crazy swap chain, and then I am stressing. I got a few days to decide.

I am in. I wish my silkies would start setting I would be in more than once, but I guess I will just have to do in for one now.
 
They have this new fangled contraption now called an incubator ...

or get some cochins L F. My darned light brahma will not get off the nest for anything. She and a silkie were jammed in there together for about 2 weeks, now the silkie went to sit on another nest so I have three brooding in there and a black australorp that is considering it.
 
Having trouble with the post office using the shipping eggs boxes as footballs, then returning them to me as "undeliverable"!!!!! UUUUGUUGUUGGU

That's just negligent and malicious . Maybe we need to contact our ombudsman . This is clearly a problem and there is no need for it. We pay good money to ship well packaged eggs and they are destroyed like this. I have been thinking of trying an alternate like UPS.If we all switched, they might wake up, who pays your paycheck idiots. Play football at home!
