However, I have no control over the eggs once they leave the farm. I do my best to package your eggs carefully and send extras when available, and I have had Very good experience with shipping eggs via the USPO. I only sell eggs from flocks with proven excellent fertility. I sell the exact same eggs to you that I put in my own incubator every week, so am constantly tracking fertility.

Many factors can cause a fresh, fertile egg to become inviable and fail to develop. Remember, lack of any development (showing clear when candled) does NOT equal infertility. That is simply the risk of hatching eggs, especially shipped eggs.

I have had shipped eggs hatch out 100% and some none at all. Shipping the eggs can greatly reduce hatchability. With shipped eggs, I consider 50% an excellent hatch rate. I usually see a 75-80% hatch rate at our farm, which I am happy with.

Even the freshest eggs, under ideal conditions, don’t always develop and hatch. There is no guarantee of hatchability when you purchase fertile eggs through the mail or in person. *Your eggs will be held for pickup at your local post office, please provide a phone number for the PO to reach you, once they arrive.Įggs are a gamble.

In addition, we also work with select breeders who are also breeding to SOP (standard of perfection) and dark, dark egg colors to minimize inbreeding and offer even more babies to you. We are also active members in the Marans of America Club. We selectively breed our flocks to produce the darkest eggs, while also only using roosters and hens that measure up to the American Poultry Association breed standard. The roosters have bright copper coloring on their neck, back, hackles and saddle feathers and tend to be on the quiet and gentle side.
