Shipping is always a gamble. A few tips are ask how they pack eggs and have them held at your po to save them jouncing for a dAy...
talk to gff and make sure. They have hadd accidents and are sllightly notorious for grabbing the wrrong chicks.
They should not have black. Unless they have some new line i don't know about

2 of my girls became feather pillows with moulting feaver so im maxxed at about 8 eggs for shipping i think wont get a dz in 4 days till they start again.
this happened to me too! I have had a pullet year this year (except marans) i have been selling them sexed older and 75% girls have been making me nervous! I saved some for trade outs if im wrong but no angry calls yet.
It was per pount. But this is ca. Feed is not cheapvand holy crap on goats milk. Plus 6 to legally process for a resteraunt... plus loosing some to caponisation...plus vaccum seal bags... 12 is not worth it lol.
They are not the meat variety so less interest imo. They are not just a different color but differnt size weight egg laying taste etc from what I understand.
