Combo of 12+ eggs from one of The Garry Farm’s rarest, biggest and most colorful, beautiful flocks. Because my incubators are full, this gives you a chance at some eggs that are normally sold for much more. We expect extras but don't always know and that's why we said 12+! ....It's not a guarantee there will be more than 12 eggs but if the hens are willing, so are we~

These will ship the week of August 1, depending on when the eggs are bought and paid for. I can take two orders of these - Will be listing a second listing for another group of these fine eggs. Will notify buyer if there is any change in the laying patterns of the hens which is not expected!

Here are pictures of some of the second generation (for our farm) Lavendar Project Orpingtons

The black "chicks" in this photo as well as a few of the Lavendar Chicks are from a custom hatch for Split Black/Lavendar Orpingtons completed for a customer earlier this year...We also have a few babies we kept for the garry farm

Split Black/Lavendar Orpingtons

Christmastime, 2009, I purchased a batch of Hinkjc's split black/lavendar orpington eggs and I received a second batch in January 2010...This flock has been laying now for several months. I have 1 rooster for 4 hens ratio and fertility has been great. I'm doing a test run on them now and have 100% fertility and development showing even in my stryofoams, one of which has to be reset every 4 hours! I must repair my cabinet

Pictures below are with my now famous $39 walmart camera..and that is deer fencing that covers the top of the pen...These are really big birds I wanted to be sure you knew it was deer fencing. Deer fencing is a much wider plastic that the fencing on the side of a chain link. Hope that helps with perspective of the picture and their enormous size.

Payment and shipping information:
Paypal address is:
[email protected]

For this listing we can only accept paypal and no paypal e checks please as there can be a long delay in receiving those.Please be sure that your paypal mailing address is current and if you want to pick up at the post office, please let me know via a pm your phone so I can put it on the box!

If you want insurance, please send $18.70 not $16.70 for shipping as the insurance from USPS costs us $2.00 more.

If you don't have paypal and want to order some of these eggs, you may do so by pm'ing me and I'll share more details how you may order with USPS money orders and your order will be shipped after the USPS money order processes.

The shipping listed is average based priority mail, confirmation delivery,packing materials, etc. plus our delivery to the post office. If you want xpress or insurance, it will be more. We ship eggs in the same way we would like to receive them. We bubble wrap each egg separately, putting in a regular box (not an egg carton) which is then cushioned and set in a larger box. These are not the prepaid priority boxes but we use the large boxes that can be ordered through USPS as the standard mailing box. Our mailing costs can often be higher than the prepaid boxes but we find that they arrive in better shape, so it's well worth the extra time, packing materials and shipping costs. Occasionally with a large order, we will use an even larger outside box. Even as carefully as we ship, we cannot guarantee that there will be no breakage in transit. We do not guarantee the percentage of your hatch as the incubators temperature and humidity are very variable. We will provide assistance to you during the hatch and help in every way possible to have the best hatch possible.

We are a chemical free farm and farm full-time. We feed our animals with the best feed, sprouted grains, fresh grasses, treats from the garden and loving care. For more information please visit our farm site http://freewebs.com/thegarryfarm/ or visit us on facebook - The Garry Farm

Please check out our feedback.

Please pm me with any questions and we'd be so honored to fill your order. Thanks for your interest. Happy bidding and have a blessed day! Nancy

Charm1704 just reported that she had 12 of the 13 of her Split Black Lavendar Project orpington eggs hatch!!!!! And she's going to wait a little longer on her 13th egg. I just spoke with her on the phone. The Texas post service misdirected the eggs and I called to try to locate them and prayed that they would be safe and hatch as did several of my prayer partners.

I have to note that we don't guarantee the rate of hatching as each incubator and handling is different, but I count this as a miracle hatch and prayers answered because the box was misdirected! Great job on incubating Charm704 and as she said on the phone she'll be glad to be a referral for these eggs/the way we ship! I'm so excited about her hatch I just had to share!

Of course your results may vary, because it depends upon postal handling, incubator temperature/hygrometer, etc. but I just had to share! Nancy

Many of you have asked exactly how we ship eggs. Here's what we have developed at the Garry Farm after 5 years of shipping eggs!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=8875

It's worth the extra time, materials, gas/wear/tear on our old cars, to give these eggs the best chance we know how to become eggs. I take a long time to wrap these eggs and then package them every so carefully. I think of the distance they will travel and pray for their travelling safety and for the household that will receive them.

Feel free to copy our system and make it yours, but if you list any pictures or our description of how it's wrapped, please do give credit to The Garry Farm.

Thanks and have a blessed Day! Nancy
