Foxfire Shipped eggs friends

[gimmie birdies]

I have gotten Foxfire eggs before and just last week. I wanted to put up this thread because I have met many people here who are hatching or have hatched and want to visit with people who have your cousin's chickens. Also say where you are located! This page is for fun and positivity. If you have pictures of your current or past eggs too we want to see!

Day 3 this evening...

The first time I got her eggs, I was visiting a lady from ID (uglyfoot) and she was friends with the owner of Foxfire brought me eggs. I gave her some of my gray eggs. 2016.

What a fun thread! I, too, have birds from Foxfire eggs. I'm located in Utah and have always had a 50% hatch rate or better with their eggs. That's in a no frill Farm Innovation styrofoam incubator.

I've purchased their Potluck eggs twice off eBay. Then a 3rd purchase direct from them for Isbar (Silverudd's) and Marans eggs.

Due to predators my older Foxfire birds met an untimely end. But I still have 5 pullets I hatched from Foxfire eggs last July. 2 mixed Marans and 3 Isbar. I'll have to snap some pictures and share photos of the current and past birds I've raised from Foxfire.

The birds I've hatched are not without their faults. But for the price, breed variety, and excellent fertility I never hesitate to buy hatching eggs from Foxfire.

My Foxfire hens are all laying now. They started at almost exactly 6 months (29 weeks 2 days). I have 3 Silverudd's (she still calls them Isbar) and 2 Marans from Foxfire. The only chicken in the photos not from Foxfire is my old Barred Rock.

Aren't their eggs pretty? They're very regular layers. Even the Marans.

One more egg pic. The lightest brown egg is the Barred Rock. The rest are Foxfire birds.

I ordered frizzle/NN eggs out of NC last monday, they have not gotten my money yet. I am not going to bug the lady because it is the darn P.O. The best way for the money to get to NC and have my eggs sent, (I figure is to order more eggs from some one else.)

Any who- I am sending Foxfire money for eggs today. I am excited to see what selection she has now that it is spring!!!!

The NC farm got my money- Foxfire should get my money today, or tomorrow, and next week ....un-boxing!

Your eggs are very pretty.

My last order from Foxfire, was limited because it was winter, I cannot wait to see the selection now!

I'm THISCLOSE to buying one of their potlucks, I just need to find a way to justify it, haha. What all breeds have people gotten in theirs? @gimmie birdies it looks like you've gotten a few!

My last order has been limited because it was winter, but I just placed an order coming tomorrow, I hope will be a good selection.

I just said that.
