Start yourself a nice backyard flock of big brown egg layers. Fertility has been excellent here, but you know shipping eggs is a risk so I cannot guarantee your hatch rate. Each egg is individually wrapped and carefully nestled in a shipping box lined with padding. I gather eggs several times a day and keep in a cool spot so they are fresh. The Rhode Island Reds are nice dark birds, with good temperaments. From the line of a local breeder. The Barred Rocks are my best layers and their rooster is good natured and quite large, very handsome. The hens are all quite friendly . Thanks for your interest. Deb
