Paying it Forward...... Free Eggs Winners PG 5 Announced..

[tamsflock]

So many deserving people. It will be tough to pick one. You shouldn't read these when you are emotional. All the deserving stories you want to help them all. I lost my dog of 16 years the direct tv man ran her over yesterday took her to the vets brought her home but she didn't make it. She was my feeding and watering partner everyday and that is where he hit her at the gate where she was waiting for me to come and feed the chickens.
I am not asking for eggs I would love to have them. Just wanted to share my story of my loyal dog wiley that will be truely missed.. Feeding time isn't going to be the same without the old girl.
You do get a warm feeling inside when you see and read these threads. Good luck on the hatch to whoever you pick

how awesome, Karen! you're always thinking of others and have a kind heart.

my nominee would be my daughter 'chickensnatcher' who is our official chicken wrangler around here.

she has had two years of her pets either running away or passing away. she takes excellent care of her little friends, it's just been 'one of those things'. she is tender hearted and this has been difficult for her.

and for me. as a mom, i want the best for her, to see her succeed and be filled with joy in everything she does. i wish i could flip a switch and it could all be undone, but that isn't the way it works.

she would love to have her own little flock. not her mom's, not hers to share, just hers. she just gives our family so much joy.

so, i nominate chickensnatcher, Elizabeth, my sweet middle child.

thanks for this lovely gesture and blessings to all who enter.

I would like to volunteer for the eggs. We have had a hard time since May of last year. It has been a struggle everyday to pay hte bills. We have been raising our grandson since he was 4 months old and not receiving any child support for him. It has been hard but we have made it one way or the other. I have learned not to worry becuase God will provide. Opportunities arise and whatever problem we are having at the time gets solved.

My husband works construction and with the economy, it is hard for him to find work, and now he has a roof to do it just won't stop raining so he can do it. I am laid off and waiting for the decision on unemployment. The company I worked for during tax season is having a picnis this sunday and giving out bonus checks. My car died on me just today and I'm hoping to find out what is wrong with it so I can go and get my check instead of having to wait for them to mail it. I could go in and on but I will stop the sob story. I don't feel sorry for myself, just trying to give you an idea as to what is going on.

I am trying to build my flock so I can sell the eggs. The money from the eggs will pay for the feed and we will always have eggs. I also keep my mother n law and daughter in eggs too. No charge of course. Right now there is barely enough for the 3 households. We make sure our animals have food before we do.

I know we are not the only family that is having problems. But I wanted to have a chance. Don'tknow if you don't try.

And when things get better for us, we plan to "Pay it Forward" ourselves. We plan to help those in need with fresh vegetables and eggs. We will inform our pastor and the pastor of the church dwn the street that if they have a family in need to send them our way or give us an address if they can't get to us. We will bring them fresh vegetables and eggs.

Well I am not deserving for these eggs but I will tell my story... I have been having some serious hard times lately. I went to the doctor for my regular check up ...... My mom brought up that I had been drinking alot lately and I was sent for blood work many things were not correct so I was sent on to a Kidney specialist and on wednesday I had a water deprevation test where they take away your water and see what happens in 2 hours I was extremely sick and lost 7lbs of fluid so they had to stop the test so I wouldnt pass out. So they diagnosed me with water diabetes somthing the doctor said was extremely rare and I have to drink water constantly and last wednesday my neighbors dog got into my pens and killed all my Sebrights and my BBS Rosecombs wednesdays must not be good dayd for me.. and in my short life of 14 years I have had 4 heart surgerys due to no pulmanary vaulve in my heart... 4 days, 7 weeks, 4 years, and 10 years. So I guess thats why I could be deserving of somthing good in my life....

I have an empty incubator. I have not used it yet. The milk price we receive for our milk is half what it was last year. Needless to say, it barely reaches. Because of that, I do not have the exrta cash to buy eggs for the incubator. I have 6 BR hens that are not yet laying. I would like to hatch some additional chicks and would hope to be able to "pay it forward" down the road. Thank you for youir generosity. Sheryl

This is why I love this site so much...I pulled my auction off of ebay so I could send/donate free eggs ( shipping included) to a BYC'ers grand daughter on Monday. Am I worthy of this particular batch of free eggs-yes I think so but I won't ask. I get a much bigger high from life when I give rather than recieve-God has been good to me and my life. I have struggled and had many issues in my life for a long time-I have just now begun to understand the true meaning of love and life-SInce God has opened my eyes at what he has given me-it's my turn to give back-even though I have the urge to be selfish-when I fight that urge and do what my heart tells me to do, I get paid back, in some way, tens times more-I am greatfull to have found this site to help me on my journey in my life-and my family I'm sure is greatful too!!! I love you guys!!!!

My bator is full, they were sent to me out of kindness from Tuff, so I don't need any eggs. I just wanted to say that I think this is the nicest, most wonderful group of folks I've ever run across on the internet. I'm so glad to have such a nice place to hang out on on-line.
