Test Eggs 4 ea. Ameraucana and Olive Egger

[The Sheriff]

24 HOUR AUCTION:

I have eight eggs offered for auction as test eggs. If any more are laid in the morning they will be included as well. They will be shipped Wednesday afternoon via Priority Mail.

1.) The four blue eggs are Ameraucana from my wheaten hen (from pips&peeps) and my blue rooster (from Larry McEwen chickenscratchpoultry.com).

This is Thurston my blue Ameraucana. He is six months old.

This is Skye my wheaten Ameraucana. I have had her about a year and she is a good layer of beautiful blue eggs.

The eggs are definitely blue, not green.

2.) The four dark eggs are from Thurston over my pure Welsummer hen, Ginger, also from Larry McEwen. This mating should produce F1 olive eggers.

This is Ginger.

These eggs are a nice mahogany color with speckles. Should produce a pretty olive color with the blue roo.

The blue eggs have been fertile as the picture shows. I have not cracked open the dark eggs but have witnessed the pair mating.

I cannot guarantee fertility or hatchability but will pack securing for shipping. PayPal accepted. PM for address to make payment. These will ship packed in an egg carton so any extra holes will be filled with surprise eggs. If you bid and win these eggs please keep in touch regarding fertility and hatch rate.

A few questions
1. Would you be willing to ship the way I do, by not using a egg carton....I have very poor hatch rate with egg carton shipping and great hatch rate shipping through our custom way: Please see how we ship:

3. How old is the oldest egg that you will be sending? I'm assuming they are over 4 days old - guessing 7 since our birds don't lay every day With priority mail, at the earliest I would receive Sat and the latest Monday, so I'm trying to compute viability.

Hope I'm not asking too many questionsjavascript:insert_text('

Lovely birds btw!!!!! Thanks and have a blessed day. Nancy

1.) The oldest of these eggs was four days old yesterday. They have been laying daily.

2.) I can't find question #2

3.) I don't mind packing any way the buyer wants, within reason. I have shipped many eggs using my method and have not had a single broken or cracked egg but I not too old a dog to try a new trick. I could probably even manage to slip in a few surprise eggs that way.

Thank you for the compliments on my birds. I think they are pretty special too. I got Skye as a young pullet from "pipsnpeeps" last March. I was stunned when I opened the box because she was so much prettier than I thought she would be. She was sitting next to a beautiful blue egg she laid en route. I named her Skye the moment I saw that egg.
