We are a small farm and take very good care of our birds. Don’t pass these up they are hard to find.
Expertly packaged with hatching instructions included.
You will love these sweet beautiful birds! Happy Hatching!
English Orpington are known for their low fertility rate but that is due mainly to only feathers that get in the way when mating. Some folks trim the back of their hens (around the vent area only) just enough so that the fertility rate increases….and mine are at 100%. This trimming does not hurt the birds and it is only done during the breeding season.
Some of the challenges with hatching eggs – and what to do:
Temperature changes – Ask for ‘Hold for Pickup’ during freezing or extreme high temps.
Rough handling – We ship individually wrapped, double boxed & air padded. Over hundreds of orders our packing has eliminated cracked eggs.
Late delivery – We ship with insurance to protect the value of your order. Eggs will be 48 hours old at most when shipped.
Buyer incubation process – Read the instructions provided. Ask us for help if needed.
Faulty incubator – If you have failed to hatch anything in your current incubator, find a new one.
Fertility – We do regular fertility checks on our eggs to ensure fertility. Both fertilized egg and incubation.
Broody hens – Not using a reliable incubator is a recipe for problems.
About Your Incubator
There’s nothing worse than paying good money for eggs, setting them to incubate in your new incubator and have nothing develop. Some incubators are known to have unacceptable temperature & humidity fluctuations. Always research before you buy.
And only try cheap hatching eggs on new incubators.
Buyers should be letting their shipped eggs sit with the large side up for 24 hours before placing them in their incubator. The air space in the egg will need to settle and reform after it has been shuffled around by being in the mail. If you know how to candle eggs you can check the air space upon receipt. Lots of tutorials online with what to look for.
Your hatching success is our priority!
You should know buying hatching eggs is risky (mostly due to rough shipping and handling). We cannot guarantee your hatch rate due to things beyond our control once they leave the farm.
