8+ crele orpington project hatching eggs

[heathersboers]

Hi all...before I even start with this auction....I want to stress That's this is a project...regardless if this breeding will never create true crele orpingtons or not....we sure are trying.

This auction is for 8+ of our project eggs. Our rooster is a English orpington /golden cuckoo marans cross. He is being bred over buff orpingtons And Barred buff orpingtons. Most of the chicks we have hatched are brownish red with white dots on their heads....gorgeous barring ...one other person on byc has these,and I have promised a lot of folks I would list an auction up here .they are finally laying enough for another auction and fertility has been tested. Our weather has been crazy..it is an ongoing project to try to create some beautiful crele orpingtons...these are pullets laying so eggs are med. Size.they will be no older than 3 days when shipped.. I ship to the lower 48 states and wrap with bubblewrap. We have had eggcellent hatch rates ...even shipped eggs so far...i will not be responsible for yours due to usps handling. I will include extras. Just in case.These will ship Monday following this [email protected]
More pics to follow soon.....thanks!!!!

Oh MAN!!!! If you had only bred them back to marans you'd have a partner in crime! I'll watch these anyway. Nice

Ill list them up here when they start up- The only reason I hate them is I cant candle them----with anything.... its like candling a rock..i guess we will be having omelettes to check fertility---cringe-----
