~*~ Description ~*~
Fresh, fertile purebred Black, Blue and Blue Splash Cochin bantam and Black and Blue Frizzle Cochin bantam hatching eggs. I test for fertility weekly and so far the hens are laying well and fertility is looking great! These beautiful little birds are very docile and make excellent pets. The hens are good setters and are reliable layers of small tinted to light brown eggs. Cochin bantams have a phenomenal mothering ability and are a popular choice among many breeders for use as foster mothers to other breeds and types of fowl. My flock consists of two Black Frizzle hens, three Black smooth-feathered hens, three Splash smooth-feathered hens, one Black smooth-feathered rooster, and two Splash smooth-feathered roosters. All of our birds have really nice feathering on their feet and legs. This flock can produce Black, Blue and Blue Splash chicks. There is a chance that you will end up with some frizzle chicks, but due to the complexity of frizzle genetics I cannot guarantee that you will end up with any frizzled chicks in your hatch. My flock is kept together in a large run and allowed to free range around our farm for several hours each day, except in inclement weather and when danger of depredation is high. I cannot guarantee the ratio of colors that you may hatch, nor can I guarantee that you will or will not hatch any chicks of a specific color. Our birds are purebred and represent their breed and variety, but I do not guarantee or represent that they are of show quality. ~*~ Pricing ~*~

~*~ Shipping & Handling ~*~
Eggs will be collected following cleared payment and will ship as soon as the number of eggs you purchased have been accumulated. These eggs will be collected several times daily, placed on an auto-turner, and kept at 55 to 60 degrees until shipping time. Eggs will be 4 days old or less on shipping day. As I collect the eggs, I mark the date they were laid on their ends in pencil and I only send the most fresh. If for any reason the hens stop laying the buyer will be contacted as soon as possible to arrange a new shipping date or a refund. I do not wash eggs as this can greatly decrease their hatchability, and since chickens don't wipe their feet before they use the nest box there may be some smudges on some of your eggs. I never ship excessively dirty/filthy eggs. I will only ship hatching eggs by USPS Priority Mail. You will receive a Delivery Confirmation number which you can use to track your package. Insurance is not available for hatching eggs. I pack my hatching eggs inside egg cartons filled with shavings, and the carton nestled in paper inside the box. This packing method has proven to be very successful for our operation and (*knock on wood*) I have yet to receive a report of cracked or broken eggs, and my buyers are reporting excellent fertility and hatch rates. If you would like your eggs to be packaged in a different manner please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. Boxes will be clearly marked as "Fragile" only with clearly marked arrows to show which side is "up" unless buyer requests they be marked otherwise. Every precaution will be made to help ensure that you receive fresh, fertile eggs but unfortunately I cannot be responsible for rough handling or delays by the postal service.
Local pickup is available, but please bring your own egg carton.
~*~ About Hatch Rates of Shipped Eggs~*~
Buying hatching eggs to be shipped is a risk. It is not uncommon for hatch rates on shipped eggs to be 50% or less. As such, due to circumstances far beyond my control including but not limited to rough handling, exposure, or delays during shipping, and your incubating and hatching conditions or techniques, I cannot guarantee your hatch rates. By making a purchase, the buyer understands and acknowledges the risk involved in shipping hatching eggs and will not hold the seller liable for postal delays, egg infertility and/or poor hatch rates. Our flock has been tested and is certified Pullorum-Typhoid free by the State of Texas.
If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask!
