Hahhaha I saw a emu egg listing on eBay... if I thought I could hatch them I’d have them on their way already

Lol my husband (bless him and his realization that chickens are cheaper than Horses) is planning some new chicken habitats so I can raise some specific breeds rather than a bunch of mixes. There’s a few I’d really like to try out but not sure if I can get hatching eggs locally

Whiting True blues
All colours of Brahmas
Olive Eggers
Lavenders ( not picky on breed I think they just lay brown eggs)


Ideally I’d like to get some breeds that lay 260 -290 eggs a year without light manipulation. Start up a small word of mouth egg lady operation.. skip getting a real day job

I really want to recommend Lavender Orpingtons. But, I'm basing that on how well my Buff Orpingtons lay, and how beautfiful my Lavender Orpington pullets are!!!! But, they are only 4 months old and haven't laid yet. They are wonderful birds no matter how much they lay!!! (But my faves are still Buff Orpingtons).

Good luck with that! Hatching can be very rewarding!!!
