I do firmly agree with that. There are so many people on here you sometimes cant tell if you are dealing with kids or adults. I get them all the time blowing up My inbox with wanting things to find out their parents never approved of it.

We do not allow minors to participate in BSA. Minors are not legally responsible for any transactions they do. Their parents are. If you can get them to do anything about it.

That being said, the swaps are absolutely not a part of the BSA. We will not get involved in a deal gone bad. One of the conditions of these swaps outside the BSA section is that you are on your own. No feedback, no recourse.

As far as identifying minors, that will never happen. In fact we do not allow minors to post their age and we will not allow adults to out them or ask their ages. Infraction points will be given for both minors posting ages and adults asking personal info of known minors (Yes we have a list).

This is for their own protection.

Just thought I would clear that up.

At first I said let him play, but I have since changed my mind completely!

RULES ARE RULES... simple as that! You can't bend them for one and not the other.

This has gotten quite out of hand

I have a question and don't know who to direct it to.

Edmon's Farm claimed my guinea eggs which I planned to send him on Monday. He obviously doesn't understand the rules, as he keeps contacting me to send ME the duck eggs that Soggy Bottom Farms have claimed. Can somebody clear this up for me. I feel like I am going in circles. (Which is obviously why we shouldn't allow minors on the chain)

Completly agree just unsure how they can really be enforced on here. I think we all take chances with trades and auctions for that matter, no matter what site we are on. BYC is no different. I do more trades then anything because of the lower risk out of pocket. Because even if you recieve them does not mean they will hatch or be what you wanted for that matter and all your out is shipping and some of your own eggs. It is a gamble no matter how you look at it, just depends on how much your willing to gamble is all.

I also completly understand why they do not want minor on there titles because I do believe that could be very very bad for people to know.

It has turned into such a stinking mess! And now people are bickering back and forth on the chain thread. Now I am wondering if my guinea eggs may be the current offer again! I hope somebody clears this up!

I do not plan to participate in anymore swaps, as much as I love them.

I haven't been able to fulfill my obligation to ship Speckled Sussex eggs. We've been having predator issues, and last night I lost 2 Sussex and a mallard duck to coons. Eggs are being lost to rats.

I have contacted the person I owe eggs to, so that I can work with them to make things right.

As of now, all of my chickens (except my BLRW) are for sale. Everything.

Because we're tired of predator issues and having dead birds each morning.

I understand your problem. I have no clue what to say about it. very hard to go back when other trades where made inbetween. They may want to just resart from you not sure but think the person who is incharge of this swap thread should make that call. Not sure though just my guess.

oohh I am so sorry to hear that you are having such trouble..I know how disheartening it is to go out to the coop to see your beloved chickens dead. I was losing alot of birds.. not to predators but to the heat.. we scrambled for oer a week to figure out just what the answer was for us.. fans, misters, cold snacks, ice.. praying for a break in temperature.
My heart goes out to you,
Shelly
