Shiloh Chicken Breed?

[LadyLaurelin]

Does anyone know anything about this breed? There’s an egg seller on ebay and I’d like to know more. They’re supposed to lay green eggs...

It sounds like a cross that the person made themselves.

 

[LadyLaurelin]

Yes, I investigated more by messaging the seller and she told me her husband has bred them.

Did you get some?

 

[LadyLaurelin]

No, I’m not having the best of luck with shipped eggs, so I’m not ordering them right now. I think my mailman shakes the boxes on purpose.

It is possible!

Have them held for pickup at your local PO

I tried! They put them in the delivery vehicle anyway. I live in a rural, mountainous area... I’m just picturing them slinging around in the back of his Subaru. I just had a batch in my incubator- only had four hatch from 22 eggs. Some were literally scrambled inside. I can’t believe any hatched, actually.

I am sorry about that!

You may have better luck if the seller marks them as keep for pickup at the PO.

I have had the same thing happen here with shipped eggs

The seller did that and put my phone number on the outside of the box. I’m going to be nice and assume they just didn’t notice it, instead of assuming they ignored it. Either way, I’m not doing shipped eggs for a while, until things start to calm down in the world. This just isn’t a great time to ship anything like eggs. I’ll try to buy local.

That is a good plan! Buying local is a very good way to go
