I'm offering 9+ green EE eggs, to be added to with whatever green eggs
that meet my standard* are laid between now and time to ship. I have 4 EE hens (that lay green, some of the brown layers are half EE, but I don't know for sure which) so there will be a few more eggs added.
Also 1 dozen assorted large brown eggs.
Here are some of the parents, they were not cooperating by holding still for photos.
Mostly Mamas:
Close-up of one of the EE's, the other three do not have her lovely muff and tufts, but lay nice green eggs anyway.
Closer pics of the Papas:
He's Light Brahma and EE mixed, the EE hen shown above is probably his mother.
My other roo, Dark Cornish and unknown mix, he's pretty solid, and heavier than he looks.
These are my only roos right now, they've been the only roos for about 2 months. So you have a 50/50 chance of EE's from the brown eggs, and the green eggs are all at least half EE, more if the EE roo is Papa.
Please start bidding at $9 on the green eggs, and $6 on the brown. Shipping will be actual postage for Priority mail, plus $2 to cover both paypal and gas to the P.O. Expect shipping to be between $9 and $11, plus the $2.
*My standard for shipping hatching eggs: I'm picky about what I hatch, or sell to hatch. Eggs are first looked over to remove any that are odd shaped, have thickened areas of shell, are overly porous, or have any easily visible defect, such as wrinkles, etc. I then candle the remaining eggs, which will show most harder to see cracks and shell defects, and or other abnormalities that may make an egg less suitable for either shipping or hatching. Many of the ones I remove from the running would probably be fine, but I want my customers to get the best I have to offer.
I wrap eggs individually in bubble wrap, nest them big-end-up in the center of the box, secured and padded with more bubble wrap, and held in place with either shredded paper or wadded paper, or small bags of packing peanuts when I have them. Peanuts will always be in bags so they don't make you crazy when you unpack the eggs.
I'm in KY, remember that the shorter the shipping distance, the better chance your eggs will arrive intact. If you are near my area, you can save the shipping costs, if you want to come and pick up the eggs, or if it's not too far I may be able to meet you halfway, for gas money. (My car gets around 33 MPG, so that can save quite a bit over shipping.) I'm in Hart county, that's in south central KY if you want to check a map.
