12+ Assorted (Marans, Polish, Araucanas, Olive Eggers)

[Illia]

Up for auction are 12+ (12 minimum, 24 maximum) of my left-over unsold hatching eggs for the week. This will be an assortment of anything and everything I breed, collected within 2 days of shipment. The assortment may include:

Black Copper Marans
Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Marans
White Crested Black Polish
Tolbunt Polish
Gold Laced Polish
Buff Ameraucanas
Blue Cuckoo Araucanas
Silver Duckwing Araucanas
Polish x Ameraucana Easter Eggers
Blue/Black Cuckoo Olive Eggers
Blue Wheaten/Wheaten/Splash Wheaten Olive Eggers

For photos of specific breeds/colors, feel free to ask!

This assortment is an excellent choice for you who want a beautiful egg basket filled with many different egg colors as well as a spectacular flock of chickens of different shapes and colors!

All of the breeds are cold and heat hardy, may possibly become broody, are excellent layers, are non-aggressive and very friendly, and are excellent foragers. All of the purebreds are bred to the standard (or proposed standard) and my Olive Eggers are bred to have a meaty, dual-purpose body.

Fertility will vary from good to absolutely excellent, depending on the breed. My Polish are giving me 100% fertility, while my Araucanas are giving variable fertility. I package my eggs well in foam, wrapped in bubblewrap, and secured into the box with newspaper and/or peanuts. My eggs have had reports of good fertility keeping well even to New Jersey.





These eggs will be shipped to the winning bidder on Tuesday, April 26th. I take payments via PayPal.


Happy bidding!

so, the eggs are pure breed or mixed breed?

 

[Illia]

All are purebred except of course the Olive Eggers and Easter Eggers.

 

[ChickFila]

are you going to mark the name of breed for each egg?
So at least I know what I got after hatching

 

[Illia]

Yes. Since some will look the same (Blue Wheaten vs Black Copper; Araucana vs Easter Egger, etc) I will mark them all with the date AND with the breed or color.

 

[ChickFila]

great!

Illia does a great job of marking and packaging, folks. I have some of her BCMs in the bator and they are just gorgeous eggs and so dark I can hardly candle them with my big shop light! They are clean too and feel so smooth!
You can't go wrong here. I'd get more if I had room!
