This auction is for 5-7 eggs out of an Isa Brown hen (production red) and a Jersey Giant (most likely a splash) rooster. This particular Isa Brown is an awesome layer - she lays 28 days straight, then takes a day or two off, and does it all again. She also laid straight through winter (which, living in Michigan, is unsusual!).
I only hatched one, and was lucky to have gotten a pullet. She's now 8 weeks old and I just can't wait to see if she inherited her mother's laying ability! My hope is that the eggs will be quite large (like my Jersey Giant eggs) and that she's a prolific layer (like her mother). As she has matured, she's grown into such a pretty little pullet, I thought what the heck - why don't I offer up a few of her eggs? So, this auction is "just for fun!"
I believe she is fathered by my Splash Jersey Giant rooster - I also have a Blue Jersey Giant rooster, but I moved this gal into a pen with the Splash Giant when I separated out the breeder pens for this spring. That was only a week ago, so if she was bred by the blue, it's possible the offspring will be fathered by him.
Here are a few more pics - she's white with a buff chest and has splashes of black:
In this pic, you can see the large patch of black toward her tail and her lovely buff & white breast:
As with any hatching egg auction, I cannot guarantee hatchability once the eggs leave my farm; I do my very best to collect often and eggs are properly stored prior to shipping. I do not skimp on packaging - it's just not worth it.
PayPal only auction - eggs to be mailed out Tuesday, March 8.
Payment must be received by end of business on Monday, March 7.
