If you're offering more than one breed or color, I'm pretty sure the rules changed so that you have to offer 8.

I am not clear on that either. I can't see that it has been changed on the first post. I THOUGHT that was for the first offer of eggs. If you don't have 6 of one breed you have to offer 4 of 2 breeds, but I am not clear if we can still offer a mix of 3 eggs for other eggs we offer. I am not sure about hens choice either.... can we still offer that? Just not for the first offer?

I thought they said as long as the first offer is 6 (chicken)pure of one breed you can offer anything at all after that.

Good question. Can a moderator clarify??? The new rule states:

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.

yes, if you are offering 2 breeds or 2 colors the min is 8 not 6

and if it is hens choice, it should be at least 8 also
