12+ Marans (mixed colors) - buy-it-now - shipping included! SHIPS 7/21

Will Ship To: continental US

I have a pen of Marans (mixed colors) that is laying well! I've bred the Marans with an eye towards heavier birds that lay well (for a good dual-purpose bird) - this is a great way to add some colorful, productive layers to your flock, and make it more sustainable, with large cockerals that are great for eating!

As with all shipped hatching eggs, I cannot guarantee your hatch due to the circumstances that the eggs might be subjected to during shipping. I have gotten good feedback on my packaging and hatch results so far. That being said...if you have a very poor hatch, please let me know and I will do what I can to work with you!

$20 will be paid via PayPal and includes shipping.

These eggs have shipped well so far and the babies are very colorful! I can either include as many Marans eggs as possible, or only ship OE (F and F1) eggs. Your choice!

How many eggs will be shipped? I would love to see pictures

Hello! You will get 12+ (16) eggs. The first picture is of some of the eggs collected so far this week. The second picture is of some eggs that went out last week (unwashed, hence some dirt!). You have the option of Marans x Ameraucana & Marans x OE (both possibly with an OE roo, but he is second in the pecking order, so I don't think he is able to interact with the ladies all that much), AND (or without) Marans eggs (mixed colors).

Mama Dixie,

I sent you a PM. And the duck isn't in the pen with the OEs and Marans...but no, I don't have a problem w/cocci :)
