Every dozen is a complete mystery, a work of feathered art filled with a spectrum of colors, speckles, and textures, as if painted by nature herself. This isn't a factory-farm mix; it's a genuine "farm-fresh" collection with an extra two eggs included for good measure (12 + 2).

Breeds that may be included:
Your carton could feature eggs from our cherished flock, including:
- Black Copper Marans, with their rich, chocolatey brown and burgundy eggs.
Burberry BackCross Olive Eggers, creating unique olive tints with speckles and blooms.
- Silverrudd's, known for their various shades of green, and often speckled eggs.
- Welsummer, famous for their lighter brown and speckled eggs.
- Speckled Eggers, bred specifically for their dark-spotted shells.
- Burberry Bloomers
- Marsummers and various F1 Olive Egger crosses, all contributing to the spectacular variety.
This option is ideal for seasoned chicken keepers who appreciate the art of selective breeding and are seeking an exciting genetic project.
Our "Breeder's Choice" isn't just a colorful collection; it's a living snapshot of our evolving breeding program. We are constantly refining our crosses for unique color variations, heavy speckles, and brilliant new shades that can’t be found anywhere else. Because our hens change each season, the eggs in your dozen represent our freshest genetic work, giving you the chance to hatch something truly special.
Your clutch of 12 includes:
- The Element of Surprise: Two additional bonus eggs will be included from whatever new and exciting crosses are available in the barnyard that day.
- Genetic Promise: The chicks that hatch from these eggs will carry the potential for darker, more brilliant egg colors and unique patterns than the previous generation.
- A Varied Palette: Shells will feature a pretty combination of different colors, speckles, patterns, and blooms.
- A Peek at the Potential: Your dozen may include eggs from our most promising new genetics, as well as eggs from foundation breeds like Silverrudd's, Welsummer's and Black Copper Marans, which breed true for their classic rich colors.
Please note: The eggs you receive will not be identical to any in a photograph, as our flock is always changing. Your clutch is a unique, one-of-a-kind genetic offering that will set your flock apart.
*We do not take color requests and please do NOT ask for our "darkest" eggs whether it is the Marans or our Olive Eggs.
This price includes shipping. I can ship 1 dozen (12 eggs) via USPS Priority Mail. I include 2 bonus eggs. These are shipped in Egg Foam Shippers and double boxed. I highly recommend UPS. UPS ground is included in the price. I recommend to upgrade to UPS 2nd-Day Air or 3-Day Select the farther away you are from SC. If shipping via USPS include "HOLD FOR PICKUP" and the phone number you provided on the invoice. This does NOT guarantee that the Post Office will call you. YOU need to go and speak to them and let them know you want to pick it up. You can purchase heat packs here.

Reviews
The eggs were delivered within two days and the box looked perfect with labels advising fragile load. They were well cushioned with foam inserts and foam on bottom and top in an interior box. It was packaged inside a larger box that was stuffed with packing paper. There was no way these eggs were going to be damaged! They were perfect and beautiful and they are resting right now. I will put them in the incubator in two days. Excited to see what may come! Thank you!!
I ordered a dozen rainbow eggs and also some backcross. Communication was amazing, the eggs arrived perfect. Had 17/28 hatch. Had at least 5 that developed but never pipped. It happens with darker eggs I know. So excited to watch these babies grow.
I received 14 eggs on the June 25th and put them in the incubator that day. Pretty much left them alone until lockdown. Candled the eggs and 2 did not fully develop. I had a broody hen and placed the 12 eggs under the broody hen. 9 of the 12 hatched. 1 of the 3 that didn’t make had been smothered (it was a fully developed shell was crushed under hen) the other 2 just didn’t hatch(not sure why). I feel like this was amazing for being 2 day shipped eggs from SC to AR. Thank you so much for your quality of eggs and super excited to see what the girls eggs look like when they start laying.
Purchased 2 dozen in the fall of last year and picked them up late winter. I live across the mountain in TN so I was by fortunate to be able to not need to depend on the postal service. Even though I picked them up I received them well packaged in the foam egg shippers and I received a total of 28 beautiful eggs! I had not attempted to hatch very dark eggs before and I keep many hens that were bred to brood so I decided to put half under 2 different hens and half in the incubator to better my odds in case I had a failure from one method. I had and excellent hatch from the incubator and from one of my broody hens, one hen unfortunately didn’t get it done so well and I lost 5 potential babies near hatch time. They were also the pure BCM eggs 😢. So I ended up with 17 olive egger and back cross chicks. I lost one chick early on and I had more males than females but I have 7 beautiful pullets that should be laying soon! So excited to show off the eggs when they start coming!!
Easy process. Had an immediate question right after ordering and I received a super quick email response. Can’t wait to get the eggs & add to our flock with these beautiful eggs
