WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

[Jenlyn9483]

Well I candled my eggs from Taebo this morning that the PO was super rough on. Looks like all the air cells were distroyed. No developement. There are only 2 ee eggs that are extremely iffy the other 18 are getting thrown out today.

Good new is I candled my august swap eggs and Moderns and serama eggs from Soulsong. Looks like 4 out of 6 moderns have good air sacs and 1 out of two of the seramas. Most of the august swap eggs have good air sacs too. That definitely brightened my mood after looking at all those others that were no good. Im hopping to get at least 2 boxes of eggs today. jap bantams and wlr cornish bantams.


Question:

Does anyone who plays on this swap have Deleware eggs or Standard Cornish. Im wanting to start my own meat birds on a very small scale. Just one rooster (cornish) and a couple big hens like dellies or marans.
I wish i knew what these brown eggs from the august swap were Im wondering if I could use any of those for that project. I have some pretty big layer mix eggs hatching on the 31st too.

I have Delaware from Seriousbil stock, however they are all free ranging currently. Let's see there are with BLRW, Buff Orpingtons, White Orpingtons, Black Orpingtons, Lavender Orpingtons,some of my project birchen Orpingtons and one little boss phoenix rooster. So you can see any eggs right now would be who knows. I may be putting them back into breeding pens for the fall, however haven't decided yet. I need a break from hatching and growing chicks. I believe I have seen some listed in the buy area.

I can't believe how talented this group is with all the various items. That bird is so cute and sure would save on the feed bill and clean up.

I just got my WLRC Cornish bantams from Cheeads He sent 15, the box wasnt smashed and the eggs were packaged real good. none broke Yippee!! Also got 8 Japs from Meepitqueenie. Those were intact to. So 18 out and 23 in. Not too bad only waiting for one more box of eggs.

Corancher i'm trying to order some chicks from ideal for my project but I just had to order egg cartons again so that killed my bird budget for this week. I will see how thing devlope next week. I may end up getting some eggs from you later. I will be keeping an eye out on this page.
