Second rule change: Old rule:

Any type of eggs are allowed as long as the 1st offer is 6 pure chicken or 4 duck or 8 Guinea eggs or 4 for turkey or 3 for goose or 12 for quail.
First offer (each swap) MUST be either PUREBRED eggs, PUREBRED chicks (ducklings, goslings, etc), or PayPal (minimum $15) Additional offerings can be for mixed. First offer eggs or chicks must be available to send within 2 weeks. Paypal must be paid within 24 hrs, unless noted when to expect it in the offer.

New Rule:

Any type of eggs are allowed as long as the 1st offer is 6 pure chicken or 4 duck or 8 Guinea eggs or 4 for turkey or 3 for goose or 12 for quail.

First of all, let me clarify the above statement, The pure part involves all poultry breeds. Pure meaning they are the same breed and same color/recognized color. It is appropriate to breed blue, black and splash together. This would be consider pure if they are all the same breed. It is not appropriate to breed blue to creole and consider that pure, even if they are both the same breed. Same goes for ducks, turkeys and the like. Must be the same breed and color combination that is acceptable. OE/EEs do not count is pure.

With that being said, the rule is changing slightly to state: 6 pure chicken eggs from the same breed or 4 pure chicken eggs from 2 different breeds. It has been noticed that some are offering hen's choice or 3 eggs from 2 different breeds. Shipping eggs are a gamble as it is and most swappers want a better chance at actually hatching a few from the same breed. Offering hen's choice could mean getting 1 egg from 6 different breeds and this tends to stall the thread. I can only speak for myself but frankly, I couldn't claim that. I want a better chance of getting some hens from a particular breed, not a motley crew of possible roosters. I do understand hens aren't laying and it's hard to offer the eggs but Spring is coming. We are hoping this rule change will keep the swap moving along a little better.

Again, if you have any questions PM the mods or post here.

i noticed pheasant eggs aren't mentioned.... i have ringneck pheasants (normals) and was wondering about them ... acceptable or not? if so, how many need be offered at a time?

All poultry is accepted here. How often do the lay? I know nothing about pheasants.

I think pheasants would fall into the same catagory as guineas and quail....just my thoughts
