Does 4 h do merit badges, because I dont see poultry as a merit badge for scouts.

1 hr. 50 mins. left to tell us why you want the eggs.

I was wanting those precious eggs. I am building a small pond with a little brook running to it. We live in a quaint little valley where time goes by slowly. Seldom do we see cars go down the road and when they do they go slow just to look at all our happy animals across the farm. There is going to be a willow tree planted above the bank of the little pond; so the little waddlers can catch a cool breeze, while the frogs are chirping, during the hot sunny days before going for a dip in the clear water with the crackling brook in the background. They will be able to chase minnows until their little hearts are content, before setting down in front of the 3 feeders ; each with a different special blend of natural feed to tantilize their pallets; after which they could lay in the lap of luxury of their "BRAND" "NEW" "CONDO" !!!! Yes, Lady Jayne those little preciuos creatures will be able to walk up the yellow brick path to enjoy a brand new renaissance castle complete with a dungeon for the prisoners they subdue and a tower for the beautiful princess to retire and oversee her entire domain! Awaiting them is a battery of domestic servant to fulfill their every wish; pamperring being at the bottom of the list for the activities planned for the day. Adventure and romance await the eager hatchlings! Mystical happenings and secret passageways adorn the regal castle. The weekly special guest dropping by to tour this little oasis will only add to the splendor and allow them to entertain with their natural abilities! Prophets foretell the coming of the duck with a golden beak which will battle the nemesis the "POSSUM"! The drake gaining knowledge in the womb on how to BONK by the Lady Jayne and her court of shovel knights! It is said the possum will be vanquished from the land for all days to come and the victor is elevated to KING and reside by the side of the princess as long as the sun sets and the flowers bloom!

Well I can tell you why should not send them to me....My hatches have not been good latly, now when is that Dicky going to be here?

ohhh! this is SOOO nice of you! i wish i had enough eggs to do this too, but i only have one laying pekin and i want to hatch the eggs.

anyways, i would love beyond words to be picked to have your eggs, but i do not think my parents would appreciate eggs showing up in the mail! "oh, did i forget to tell you? yeah, some wicked nice lady sent us some free eggs! surprise!! happy mothers day mom!! thought you'd like them...." yeah, DON'T think that would turn out well. but i do hope you pick someone truly deserving to have these eggs and i'm sure you will. its so nice.

Okay can I edit my post. My daughter just came in crying because her duckling just died for no apparent reason

we had gotten her some for 4H from the farm store and they didn't do well at all ( we even built her and insulated coop on our little humble 10 acre montana hobby ranch.
