THE SWAP THREAD "June"

[Carole AM]

I got my eggs today-- 3 BR and 2 Rouen duck eggs "survived" the trip. The box was smashed in on one side. I'll candle in a week to see how these are doing. Our postmaster hand-delivers, so I know it wasn't his fault.

That sux. That was the 1st time I have tried packaging it that way. I normally pack them in egg crates and RARELY have an breakage. I guess I'll go back to the old way then. I'm sorry you lost 3 of them. Hopefully they'll turn out ok. I know fertility is excelllent here, it'll just be a matter if they shipping was too rough or not.

Got my swap eggs. I don't think I've ever been more excited to recieve eggs before! He sent me 11 rosecombs and 6 standard salmon faverolle! None were broken, they went into the 'bator 2 days ago. I'll update you guys in a week.

I still haven't heard from my other swap partner, so I have no idea what they want me to do.

i had 1 lone pheasant hatch even though more were developed...i think something was up w/my humididty b/c I was doing so many back to back hatches @ like 3-7 day intervals. But she is a speed demon too

I finally got my eggs on the 3rd. They all made it just fine, no cracks or breaks.
12 buff orp eggs I candled last night. Does not look good. I don't think any of them are developing.

I will wait a few more days and candle again.

Jeeze!! I hate when that happens!! I really try to be so carefull when I pack them.

They are from black/white pied and blue/white pied. I would love to get some eggs from you later. If you want , maybe we could do a side trade?

Good luck and let me know how they hatch.

I got my eggs a couple days ago. In stead of PB's I got 3 turkey eggs-the PB's were being very uncoperative[sp?].
