That was my first thought, until I started thinking of all the different combinations that could go into creating the mutts up for grabs . . . that would make it interesting. Not everyone's mutts are the same.

That's right not all mutts will be the same. It will be fun to trade mutts. I'm hoping to be a part of both swaps as soon as my hens start laying as I have some purebreds I am keeping pure and I have some mutts. I also plan on crossing some of my breeds every once in awhile just to see what I get. Not all mutts are just the beautiful EEs. There are zillions of possibilities here. Please stop complaining and start swapping I want this swap to be successful so that I can be a part of it later on.

We are still on the first swap??!!! If you would like to throw a pure in with the mutts, that is fine too.

Not everyone's mutts are the same. Before they added the new rule, Brahmamama posted a pic of one of her mutts, and I've honestly never seen anything like that . . . and there was someone offering NHR x RIR, which doesn't even seem like that much of a mix to me (I'm sure the owners of those gorgeous dark beauties at the shows would disagree with me there). If my chicks were old and fertile enough, I'd take part in this thread with my little BTW Japanese bantam roo servicing my large cochin hens . . . the possibilities for this chain are endless, and now it's up to others to realize it.


I will admit, I think people on the other chain are missing the point by being so impatient. If it were up to me, I'd leave an offer on the table for a week before moving on, and there are people complaining about the "long" 24 hour waiting period. I don't get it. But I do hope people find this chain and begin to enjoy themselves. I like reading the different swaps.

Yep, I agree. A few people on there got a little over eager *IMO* and were being too impatient. I have a feeling that was where the "messages" came from, to get it switched to pure eggs only

I like both; I love all my pure breds, who in turn have given me some really neat mixes, by me letting them free range *together* Like someone else posted-all breeds were mutts at one time. I'm not picky, all breeds and mixes have their place somewhere....well, except for those creepy naked necks... *shudders*

Anyways.... I do have a suggestion, if this thread is going to keep going; on the main page, with the rules...maybe take out that the eggs "must" be mixed/mutts...that way, if someone ~is~ looking for mutt eggs, but only has pures to offer, or just wants to be nice, and not discriminate

against us mutt people, and offer pures, they can. Again, just a suggestion.
