I will have Dominique eggs available to ship at the end of May/beginning of June. I am getting about 1 dozen nice sized pinkish tan eggs each day.
Dominique Eggs Dsc06312
I do not usually sell eggs unless the person has had previous hatching experience and has a cabinet or good quality incubator.
I do have foam egg mailers that hold each individual egg and they fit in a 12 x 12 x 4 inch box which I then pad and put inside a 14 x14 x 6 inch box. I would recommend Priority Post, Greyhound or Courier for your eggs depending on where you are located.
I would like $25/ dozen for the eggs and the packaging/dozen is $5.
So the total cost would be $60 for two dozen eggs plus shipping.
I can send up to 4 dozen at a time depending on availability.
There are always risks with shipping eggs and we are at the mercy of the shipping service.
I do not guarantee hatchability but I have been getting 80-90% fertility and hatchability in my Dominiques this Spring.
My current flock I raised myself but I originally obtained birds from several different breeders in the U.S. and in Eastern Canada in 2010.
I have showed my birds in Wetaskiwin, AB in 2010, the Canadian National in Armstrong, BC. in Nov. 2011 and in Red Deer in November 2012 with a cockerel and cock taking Best of Breed.
I am a member of the Dominique Club of America and strive to breed birds to the APA Standard.
You can view some photos of my birds at my website at www.feathers-farm.webs.com

Miri, will you have eggs available this year? I have a friend who may be interested in eggs or in adults.

Sue, I am completely booked up with chick orders this Spring so until I get those chicks hatched I wont be selling any hatching eggs.
I may have chicks available later in the summer though Smile

Thank- you Miry. My friend is considering Plymouth Rocks as well but has no heat in her coop. She also wants dual purpose. I have suggested Chanticlers to her as well.

It is so nice to have lots of interest in the Dominiques this year but since I have so many chick orders I am not going to be selling eggs until later on.
If you are still interested in a month or so, I would be happy to send some your way...
thanks,
Irene

No problem, whenever you have them available. We are very interested in adding them as new flock here. Please add us to your waiting list. My sportsman should still be running for a few months.

Thanks Andrew

You are on my list Andrew Very Happy
They are great birds and now that I have made a little bit of progress with them I would love to see more of them dispersed across Canada.

What is their carcass like, Miry? They look pretty hefty.

NOT like a Buckeye or a Chantecler Sue,
Top weight for hen is 5lb and roo 7lb but that wouldn't be til their full maturity.
They are the lightest breed in the American class.
We do skin and process all our excess cockerels, never done a hen as we always can find a home for them.(Takes two cockerels to feed our family of 7 one meal)
Excellent foragers and layers however and 1 rooster will cover 12 hens.

I have hatched enough Dominiques chicks now for myself and I have a few under a broody Dominique so I am offering eggs for sale for the rest of June.
I would like to sell them in packages of 3 dozen eggs (makes it more worthwhile for me and the person hatching by the time you pay shipping).
$90 for the 3 dozen (includes all packaging) by e-transfer or paypal (add 3%)
Shipping COD by greyhound or courier.
