Hi all,
I was thinking it might be fun to do a Farmgirl Egg Swap!
Is there any interest out there in trading some fertile eggs? Chicken, Duck, etc. Please let me know if you would like to participate and what you could offer in trade/what you'd like to receive in return.
This is an oddball swap idea, I know... Just thought it would be worth asking :)

They're French Black Copper Marans- just been laying a while (and they were never the black layers anyway) They're Wade Jeane line.
If you do get an incubator let me know :)

Please show pics of what everybody ends up with!

Sounds great, Kristen :) I got my hatcher incubator (older used one) from eBay. I use a Genesis 1588 w/ Autoturner as my main bator, and I use the older one for hatching when I have mult. hatch days :)
Judy! Ah I wish we could! That would be so great.. too bad :(
This is my new roo, Lincoln- Feather-shanked Blue Copper Marans
Here are some of my chicks from my hatching this year!

Yes! Woo hooo fantastic idea! I have never shipped eggs but my boyfriend has ordered them before. I am mostly interested in game birds. But will enjoy chickens, ducks, and well..... ok....I am a bird junky! Girls, what do you have? Right now have Coturnix and button quail ready to hatch. We let peacocks sit on their own eggs and this morning are watching four of the little guys following momma in the pen. The quail are producing nicely so those are what I am offering at this time. More to come. Great idea. Thanks for tossing it out there. Please note I access my internet about once a week or so.
Don't be sorry that it's over... Be glad that it happened. |

This is our first Year with the quail. Yes eat them and their tiny eggs. Going to try to pickle some. Just received gold laced wyndott chicken eggs n hatched a half dozen. More available. I am amazed that more people havent responded to this idea.

Coolest swap ever, gals! Next year I'll play. I should have my BWheaten Marans eggs and Greenfire Coronation and Silver Sussex breeding going on by then.

Boyfriend picked up four full grown bronze turkeys tonight. Sweet. Did I mention we have ducks to?

I would love to try this next year. As luck would have it my incubator is busy with box turtle eggs right now, which take somewhere around 90 days and we are on day four. I think it is a very cool swap though.

Maybe we should start it early next Spring? Like March or so... then the chicks will lay by the end of summer?

I need to correct my last entry. The turkeys are Burbon Reds. I would like to swap as I get room in incubator. We have a few weeks left on this last batch of quail. I can ship out gold laced Wyndotts and some quail in about a week. Interested?
