Waterfowl Only Egg Swap!

[Chickies-duckies-etc]

Sorry for being silent for so long. I was not sure what I could say. A predator managed to get about half of my ducks, and the rest pretty much stopped laying. There was one community nest that a duck started setting and then managed to ruin it. I put the eggs into an incubator, but very few survived.

Now, the predator situation is partially resolved, and the ducks are starting to lay again. A few days ago I found a nest of 7 duck eggs that a banty hen is setting so I will see how those develop. And this morning there were 4 nice eggs in a nest.

So I feel confident I can now follow through properly with this swap. I will offer the 4 + what is available muscovy duck eggs. The geese have stopped laying. I really do not think they will start again now after the predator situation and this late in the spring.

OK... I'm confused

... Chickies_Duckies, did you take Bee's offer on the Ancona's? Also, the minimum offer is 6+ eggs. If you haven't recieved eggs from Bee then she has the current offer.

I will offer... Ancona

minimum 6 eggs on the chicken swaps,not the others.

copied from the 1st post about the rules:
4. Minimum of 2-4 eggs. This is because some geese are not that great of layers and neither are some ducks! If you would like to offer more, that would be fine too but please be able to back up that offer with fresh eggs.

With out taking the time to read the rules - just saw ANCONA DUCK EGGS offer. I would love to have them.

So what to offer?

Muscovy eggs........ I have lots of them. Mostly black pied with some chocolate pied and some have barred pattern.

OR mixed goose eggs. White and brown chinese and emden. Eggs could be pure or mixed.

Now, off to read the rules LOL

I accepted Bee's offer of the Ancona eggs. She sent 6 beautiful eggs that are in the incubator.

I read the rules and they said 4 duck eggs. I am offering 4 + muscovy eggs. The geese have stopped laying.

Sorry for any confusion...
