I'm taking the chickens to our local feed store for pictures with Santa today!

Can't wait to see the reaction from my hubs when he sees the photos!

Got eight eggs from Shelly today

all look great, no obvious cracks. Thanks for waiting to mail them this week.

Also have 4 eggs from Reesepoultry in lockdown, 2 have hatched, 1 more pipped, the last one is taking it's time. Those were huge blue EE eggs and the chicks are big too! Thank you Michelle

Yeah time to do the happy dance.

So glad you got some to hatch for you. The green eggs that hatched should lay green eggs. I plan on selling the ones that don't lay the green/blue eggs.

What size pics do you use for the uploads on the swap page? I tried to go smaller and they're still huge!

Someone claimed my sugar and creamer set last week and I don't remember who it was. I need your address so I can get it out to you. Thanks!

Few More things on, working at it slowly. Sorry bout the big pics, not sure how to get them smaller. Gonna keep plugging away..

Make the pics close to 500X500 pixels, they should upload easy and not be too large. Smaller works even better.

If you don't have photo editing software, you can get a Photobucket account - upload there - then resize them smaller. If you only upload one at a time it works best when photos are huge (as most digital cameras make them). If you are tech savvy there are many photo editing programs on the internet you can snag for free that will resize photos.

I just use microsoft picture manager, edit picture button and compress it so that its close to 100-200 kb, makes it easier to upload and when you upload it gets compressed again if you don't unselect the compression option

Thanks for the suggestions, I DID get if figured out. Will keep adding. Wasn't nearly as complicated as it was seeming. I just need more coffee, lack of sleep, up waiting for a rescue horse to foal. She is NEVER going too.. Argh!
