I've had a cancellation on an order that I was to ship tomorrow so this is a 24 hour auction.
Shipping west of the Mississippi is 20.00. This is close to actual postage as I double box and pad extremely well.
I've recently shipped eggs from FL to WA and CA. All were intact and the ones that have been candled show 12 of 15 developing.
Eggs are from the last 3 days so will be very fresh. Fertilization is excellent. I have one Blue Wheaten and two Wheaten cockerels
over 11 W/BW hens/pullets. Blue egg color is very hard to photograph accurately, this shot was in natural overcast light. Eggs range
from blues to aquas.

I've been working with my Wheaties for two years and am on my third generation with them. I've concentrated on getting
good size and type and eliminating defects, but as with all breeds; especially one's that are still a work in progress, some
anomalies may occur. All the chicks I've hatched have been bearded/muffed. I've made some progress on getting better
tail color in the females and less hackle striping in the males, but that has been secondary to breeding for size thus far.

Here are some of my flock:

These will go out delivery confirmation Tuesday morning after payment. Shipping and hatch not guaranteed, but I will do my best to ensure you have a good hatch!
 
I love how uniform your boys color is and those hackles!

What lines do your birds originate from?
 
Are the eggs pictured the eggs you're shipping? Just trying to ascertain if the eggs pictured are from the same birds that you are sending eggs from. Looking for blue eggs. Have had the experience (with a different breeder) of the egg picture posted not being the same color as the eggs sent.

Edited to clarify that the eggs that were not as pictured were from a different breeder.

Wow, I get home from work to find out it may be awhile before I eat a blue egg again.

These are awesome, friendly birds and it's nice to see people taking an interest in them.

Mama...these eggs are difficult to photograph correctly. There is a thread on how different they look in different settings
on the Ameraucana forum showing this. I've found in real life they look different as well. To me they look truest in soft,
indirect natural light. Incandescent light, strong sun or camera flash can make them look lighter or more greenish, other
settings/photos make them look more intensely blue. The eggs shown are representative to my girls eggs when viewed in
natural overcast light (outside on a covered porch, no flash).
