The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[Phage]

 



Are they guaranteed to be fertile?

I suspect the seller will answer as well, but are you asking if the eggs so far have been fertile on the sellers farm, or are you asking if the eggs are guaranteed to hatch? If the latter, no one can guarantee that eggs will hatch in someone else's hands.

If shipped eggs do not develop it does not mean that they were infertile. It is much more likley that they were damaged in transit or incubation techniques were not ideal.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, delete the photos when quoting someone's auction. I just spent about 15 full minutes loading a page on my phone, because so many photos had to load. But most of them were from quotes of the original auction post!

Not everyone has access to high speed internet, so PLEASE help us keep page loading times down!

I agree... that same premise works on a lot of animals. breed a full sized stallion to a pony, the foal will be born the correct size for momma and quickly outgrow her.

 

[dretd]

pullet eggs are inferior to eggs that have become the proper size for hatching.

There is nothing inferior about pullet eggs.  They ship better and hatch better.  The chick will develop correctly to fit the egg.  The chick may be slightly smaller, but genetics will determine final size at maturity.  I breed LF Brahma and Cochins and these chicks reach normal size at maturity.  

Nature would not waste its resources by having hens produce eggs/embryos that are compromised.

Depends on the age of the pullet. According to this paper:
http://www.animalreproductionscience.com/article/S0378-4320(05)00071-0/abstract , hatchability and vigor were reduced in very young pullets.

Hmmm.... they are talking about

1. broilers that are know to be difficult to breed and have fertility issues. They are NOT your average chicken, and

2. they call pullet eggs, egss from birds 25 weeks or less. Most of us regard a pullet to be anything up to 1 year.

That study was done in broilers. You cannot extrapolate that data to other breeds. Broilers are one of the most warped man-made varieties in the poultry world.

With all due respect...never mind, folks can make up their own minds...the data is there.

With all due respect, you cannot take limited data on one highly selected variety and claim it pertains to an entire species. It would be like studying reproduction in Chihuahuas and claiming those conclusions hold fast for every canine.

6 Blue Isbar Eggs
Start at $5
Shipping $16

These are pullet eggs. I have read recently that some think pullet eggs ship better, so I thought I would offer some, as mine just started laying a few weeks ago. I use the skyline method to ship. These are Greenfire lines. They are on the small end of the Large-Fowl spectrum. Here are a few cell phone photos, need to get out there with my camera! Thank you!
