What do people think about setting up some sort of BYC "egg swap"

[lurky]

thats great......congrats to new auntie. What eggs are you going to put in the LG?

Im gonna try an EE a unknown one and 6 BTWJ I dont know if the first 2 are fertile we will see in a few days (wait when can you tell)

 

[lurky]

BTWJ.....? Dont know about that .....did you make it up just now? I think you will know in a week if its starting to grow. You will see the veins developing in there. Maybe you should get a few from someone so you will know there are a few fertile eggs in there. Do you know ANYONE with chickens in your town?

Black tailed white japs

just didnt want to spell it all out LOL yes i know a lady with polish and silkies maybe she will let me have some ..........good idea

 

[lurky]

What does she have for silkies?

 

[siz8003]

she has a white roo blue,splash,black and 2 diff color hens not sure is she has babys right now but she has eggs all the time

I was just asking......nice to know whats out there. The lady that gave me my silkies told me that the Daddy to them died 2 weeks after they hatched. I think she 'might' decide on getting another silkie roo. If i end up with any i cant offer them to her because that would be putting him on with his mother. Even if its ok......it would just be wrong!!!!

OK, SHHHhhhhhhh, DONT tell DH....but I want in on this swap come spring as well.

I will have....Black Langshans, White Langshans,Silver Pheonix,Banty Cochin Frizzles,Buff Orps, and of course mutts(RIR/White leghorn mix). My Ameracaunas dont do not have an Ameracauna roo. Thier roo will be a BO or MAYBE a Cuckoo Maran.if anyone wants to try those. I would love some guine eggs, color doesnt matter, or Turkey eggs. (prefer Royal Palm, but any will do really.) Ohhh, come on SPRING!

I'm hoping to have Royal Palm eggs from my pair in the spring. Hopefully I will have something fertile to participate in a swap !!

Oh Julie.....please, think of me when you get some. I dont think my hen will be able to lay healthy eggs, due to her illness. She is recovering...but liver damage might prevent her from laying.
