Hatching eggs are now available:
The fertility tests came up 100% for the Ameraucanas. From 10 eggs set 9 eggs hatched, and all were fertile. These are blue Ameraucanas with possibility of some red bleed through on some birds (3rd generation). Egg colour is very good. This year I have a beautiful solid black rooster from Triple J on the job, thanks to Andrew’s Bright Birds. My hens are from Hidden River Ranch (Blue) and Greendale Farms (Blue Wheaton from John Blehm line?). Eggs are $18/dozen, and I am getting about 2 dozen per week.
The Light Sussex had 10 of 12 fertile, and 9 out of 10 hatched. I have since reduced the flock by 2 hens, so hopefully that fertility rate will be even better now. This year I have a large rooster from True North. My hens are from Greendale Farms lines. Hatching eggs are $20/dozen. I am also getting around 2 dozen per week of these.
Eggs will only be shipped Greyhound, collect, or can be picked up from the farm in Langley. Shipped eggs will be wrapped in tissue, put in egg cartons, and cushioned with newspaper inside a cardboard box.
Chicks will now be hatching weekly, and I will be keeping the best of the best. All others will be of good quality and for sale. Ameraucanas and Light Sussex will be $5 each. Brown layers will be $3 each. Please contact me in advance and let me know what you are looking for so I can let you know if/when they are available. All chicks will be sold un-sexed.
Chicks are available for pick up at the farm, only.
