Making some sweeping changes to the program. This year I'm only breeding the following pens. Straight run chicks and fertile
hatching eggs only. Shipping is available .see note:
Gold Deathlayers
Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
Brahmas (Buff Laced, Gold Laced, BBS Partridge Brahmas)
Black Copper Marans (May be split to Lavender and you hatch a few Blues)
I've been working on a line of Lavender Mottled Marans. I'm on my 5 generation, and their egg color is darker than my 3rd generation GFF BCM. I put my BCM split to Lavender Mottled Rooster in my BCM pen of hens last week. So there is a chance some of his sired eggs are now being laid. Of course, with Lav genetics, there is only a 50% chance he passed his 1 copy to the eggs and then you have to get lucky and breed 2 siblings that both inherited that 1 copy to then have a 25% chance that one of their eggs will inherit 2 copies of the Lav gene. If you would rather not have that potential color genetics, please don't purchase.
I added this rooster not for his split genetics but for the darker egg color his sisters are giving me. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL SEE THIS COLOR IS IF YOU BREED SIBLINGS TOGETHER. If you don't want the feather color to pop up, then simply cull ALL the resulting boys and keep only the girls. Lavender takes 2 copies, one from each parent to represent on the feather. This cross is only for the darker egg genetic NOT for the feather color.
NOTE: From my remote location there is no such thing as overnight. Eggs are shipped on Monday and typically arrive Wednesday through Friday depending on your location. .If you don't have really good equipment, or aren't skilled at hatching shipped eggs, I don't recommend it. Even though I pack them very well, the eggs go through a ton of stress during the shipping process. Even the most experienced hatchers are lucky to get a 40 to 50 % hatch rate. Once eggs leave my hands they are out of my control, there is no implied warranty on hatch rates....Hatch at your own risk!!!! With that said, the cost is $30 for USPS Priority shipping and $3 to $5 per egg with a maximum of 18 per box. Prior to ordering you want to make sure your state doesn't have restrictions in place on importing eggs from Idaho. I file a travel plan with the National Poultry Improvement program and they notify the destination APHIS.
SHIPPING with NPIP paperwork, if you are in a state that requires a special import permit, please don't buy. Ships within the Continental USA only. Thank you
