Unfortunately most of the hatches that I have desperately wanted and did not hatch are eggs that I paid over $100 for-

. Someone needs to exam my head. Intervention please.

And it's not just the price of the eggs, the shipping kills you. Then they mash and scramble them.

I am glad she is alright!

Glad she is doing fine - the last bit of time in pregnancy certainly can be nerve-racking.

Received my eggs from Coop Scoop Boogie today - They are just beautiful. You would not believe the Fort Knox packaging job she did

My DDs are so excited about getting some Marans in the flock. Heres to hoping they hatch AND they are pullets

Thank you so much

Glad to hear the eggs arrived in good shape.

Heres hoping the PO didn't shake them too much. Good luck with the hatch

4 times love... since you can expect a 50% loss due to shipping, and 50% to roo-ness, order, 4 times more than your coop can hold, and then primp so hubby expands coop.

My husband is not allowed to mess with my coops,I do all that...He would over do it, take over and take to long cause he would want it perfect.
Like when he put that dang door on my coop ticked me off to no end.Then that same door locked me in twice.

I'm not allowed to touch powertools. Long story involving electrocution.

Sounds like that story needs to be told

ok, i've been reading old post trying to figure out how the system works, let me see if i have it right:
There is an offer out (offer A), someone posts mine, then they can come back with another offer (offer B). The person that had "Offer A" pms the "Offer B" person as to what they accept. The next person to come along, "Offer C", is posting for the items in "Offer B". So...the at any point any person can decline to accept the offer, but theoretically the person with "Offer B" can have 2 swaps done....right?

Did I get it right or am i just missing something? The other thing i was going to ask, if no one claims an offer after a certain amount of time, is it ok to slip another offer in without the last person having a "mine"?

Close but not quite right..........If Person B "mines" Offer A.......Person B pms Person A with their mailing address info and choice of item(s) listed and details of shipping are worked out.
Person B posts their items, hoping someone will take something.......no other offers are posted until Person B's item(s) are accepted by someone. Person B should add to their list if nothing is accepted (after, I believe it says, 6 hours, in the rules).
By item(s), I mean, for example, I offered six plants whereas someone may offer one apron. You can not pick multiple items unless the person says so.

Is that clear as mud?!

I think of it like this...

A offers apples
B says...Mine on apples. Offer bananas.
B sends her mailing address to A so she can get her apples in the mail.
A mails B the apples.

C says...Mine on bananas. Offer carrots.
C sends his mailing address to B so he can get his bananas.
B mails C the bananas.

D says...Mine on carrots. Offer donuts.
D sends her mailing address to C so she can get her carrots.
C mails the carrots to D.

Everyone wants the donuts. The end.
