Our Wheaten Marans are laying very well. My incubators are full and so we are offering these for sale!

You will receive 12 Wheaten Marans hatching eggs and more if available the day of shipping. This flock is of Bev Davis/Buddy Henry lineage and now Garry farm lineage as well. Based on their laying patterns I do expect more but cannot guarantee it! Anticipated date of mailing is Tuesday, February 22.

Here's one of the pretty pullets from the original flock! No pullet eggs will be included however!!!!! My pullets are in a separate penned area.

Here's a picture of the laying flock:

I have been really pleased with the rich coloring of eggs in this flock...The hens have been laying now for many months and the coloring remains beautiful!

We breed toward the anticipated standards in our flocks

Payment and Shipping and Handling details:

In order to mail these after the close of the auction, please paypal the us at the following address:

[email protected]
Be sure that your paypal mailing address is current and if you want to pick up at the post office, please let me know via a pm your phone so I can put it on the box!

If you want insurance, please send $18.70 not $16.70 for shipping as the insurance from USPS costs us $2.00 more. If for any reason you want us to add a heat pack to the package, it is an additional $2.00.

We are very care about selecting, carefully packing, packing materials, priority shipping and confirmation delivery. If extra(s) are available at the time of shipping, I'll include those as well. Usually I compute the shipping based on your zip code and whether you want insurance or express mailing instead of our regular priority shipping with confirmation delivery but in order to get this package moving tomorrow, we are giving a FLAT rate on our shipping.

We ship eggs the same way we would like to receive them. We bubble wrap each egg separately, putting in a regular box (not an egg carton) which is then cushioned and set in a larger box. These are not the prepaid priority boxes but we use the large boxes that can be ordered through USPS as the standard mailing box. Our mailing costs can often be higher than the prepaid boxes but we find that they arrive in better shape, so it's well worth the extra time, packing materials and shipping costs. Occasionally with a large order, we will use an even larger outside box. After carefully preparing you package we drive your eggs to the Post Office, where our local post office sets the egg shipments to the side to protect them. They are then placed on the truck on the top of all the other boxes! Our mailing costs are average cost based so you may pay immediately after winning the auction and we may ship in a timely fashion! Even as carefully as we ship, we cannot guarantee that there will be no breakage in transit. We do not guarantee the percentage of your hatch as the incubators temperature and humidity are very variable. We will provide assistance to you during the hatch and help in every way possible to have the best hatch possible.

We are a chemical free farm and farm full-time. We feed our animals with the best feed, sprouted grains, fresh grasses, treats from the garden and loving care. For more information about our farm, please visit our website http://freewebs.com/thegarryfarm.webs.com/

We are only able to accept paypal only for this auction and ship only within the US. Pickups at our farm are also allowed.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy Bidding...Thanks and have a blessed day. Nancy
Edited for typo!

PS.Several of you have asked about Egg Color. The Hens have been laying for over 4 months now and the color on the eggs is lighter than the eggs in the photo below which was taken about 9 weeks ago. Some of the eggs have lightened now and I'm sure you know that the Hens go through paint cycles. Please remember that I only hatch dark eggs....This means that this flock came from dark eggs which greatly enhances your opportunity to hatch dark egg layers as well. Because some of our photos are being "borrowed" and placed on other locations on the internet, I'm trying to identify as many as possible with our name before posting them.
I hope this is clear enough for you to see.

Off to church for a few hours and a fun raiser for those without food in the county. God bless you all this Sunday and especially to those in hunger in our Country! Farm Nancy

Re inquiries about more details of our packing, I just pack the way I want to receive....It's labor intensive and puts a huge hole in my supply of bubble wrap I order bi monthly but the results and happy chicken/poultry lovers like myself make it ALLL worthwhile. Well fed all 400 chickens and watered...Checked on babies hatching in incubator and it's time for church! Smell a bit of the outdoors and where's that cologne???

Have a happy bidding time! Love and hugs to all....Farmer Nancy

PS.....Please go here https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=8875 to see an actual step by step of how we wrap our eggs. Feel free to use this for youself, but please give credit to The Garry Farm for this document...Thanks again and have a happy and blessed day....Off to find that cologne! May have to use vanilla extract...It works!
 
Nancy, I wanted to let you know about the success I had with the last hatch. Bought ten and eleven hatched. Thanks for the extra, I have never had this percentage hatch before. If my incubator wasn't full I would be buying more. Thanks again for a great packing job and wonderful eggs, and now wonderful chicks. Scott
 
Thanks Scott for sharing this....Yes, we've had wonderful reports of fertility and hatches everywhere.....But your hatch so far tops them all! PTL & I'm going to say a prayer of gratitude...Thanks for your kindness in stopping in and sharing this. For newbies here on BYC, I wrap like a maniac (Or like I owned a bubble wrap factory - instead of vice versa! -
lol.png
), packaging and label with care, but still a 90 to 100% hatch is stellar!!! Great food, fresh veggies, sunshine and fresh water and ample doses of loving care and Prayer makes a difference with poultry and their eggs (and with all animals)

Scott and BYC, Have a blessed and happy Day! Nancy
