NOVEMBER EGG SWAP~SIGN UPS CLOSED ~ Emails Sent Out

[renegaderidgefarm]

YOU CAN ASK BUT YOU MAY NOT GET AN ANSWER! It's not in the rules but this swap is supposed to be secretive and a big surprise!! Some will tell you and some will not. Some mark the eggs and some don't. I've even had one person send me a cut up picture of what my eggs were and I had to put it together to find out what they were.

Good Luck!!

Got me a new roo at the Ohio Nationals...so what are the odds of a December swap? Seems interest is waning in the winter months.

If we could close it a little earlier we could participate in the New Years days hatch? That is a fun one and everyone has been looking for eggs to set on the 11th just an idea.

I'll do a December Swap!! It may be slim but I'll do one anyway. I prefer to hatch in the cooler temps!! It seems to get too hot for the brooders in the summer and I lose more than I raise.

Sounds fun, so did you open it?

But shipping by the 5th would make them all early. You figure 3 days tops for shipping, that would have the eggs arriving on the 8th. The eggs should be set the 11th to hatch on the 1st, if my calculations are right.

I wonder if it could be organized well enough that EVERYONE sends their eggs on the same day? Preferably on the 7th? That's a Tuesday so the eggs should get to their destination by the 11th (Saturday). They 'should' get to their destination on the 9th or 10th, allowing a day for 'resting' if you so choose.

I probably won't be joining that one, I really hate having baby birds in the house for the winter.
