The EE braggers thread!!!

Does anyone know where I could get two or three Easter egger eggs to hatch in Australia?
Thanks

I have no idea..

How do you get an egg to Australia in time for it to still be fertile?

I bet the import/export paper work would take years to do.

You don't have the typical Easter Eggers that we have here in the U.S. But you do have Araucana mixes. You might be able to find a few non-standard Araucana. Those would be considered Easter Eggers.

know people do ship hatching eggs through customs I can't think of anyone specifically but you could start a thread, people import birds as well but eggs I think is the way to go. I hatch eggs after a month with no problem on occasion so a couple weeks shipping. With enough eggs... I think you can do it. If there was someone who did it they might know just what to do!

I've never heard them called Barnies, I like it. Also, cute babes.

Thanks!

Cute!!

Does the legbar cross influence the look of them a lot when they're grown?

Thank you and I don't know yet, none of my EE/CL crosses are grown up yet!

I just found the requirements. They are not easy to meet. I think an NPIP flock would qualify here as they are I basically a quarantine.

However the eggs need to be hatched in a special facility as best as I can read this, and the chicks reared in the facility until they are proven to be free of pathogens.


I read somewhere the facility must be rented out in whole, the cost is $44,000. I believe that is AU$.

I had to call the USDA to get the info.

here is the website.
