Fertile Eggs are our biggest product and are a great way to raise your own birds! We sell fertile eggs from most of our breeds, and now sell them year round!
We only sell fertile eggs from a group if fertility is over 90%, and aim for 100% fertility at all times. Most groups will be at 95-100% though. Eggs are tested bi-weekly if not weekly as well as gathering results from customers. If we have a drop in fertility and eggs were sold from that week then you will be contacted and a refund/replacement/credit given. If we have not contacted you and the eggs have not developed, then the eggs will have been fertile and an issue has occurred. Check our T&C's for more info.
Chicken genetics are complex and occasionally weird things can occur. We also develop and improve our breeds so things can pop up that aren't supposed to be there. Birds can appear different to the parent stock in many ways from type, shape and colour when its a project breed. Sometimes we may also have another colour in a group that we are working on that may cause the occasional weird colour to pop up. Random colours can also pop up in certain colours such as lavender cuckoo from our cuckoo Araucanas. Below is a list of breeds that we are aware of abnormalities showing up in.
If you hatch out birds that don't look like what you ordered please come back and check out this page to see if the issue is already noted here. If it is not then please contact us with your order number, name used to order and photos of the bird(s). We will contact you to let you know what it is and if it is an abnormality or a crossbreed.
For abnormalities we can not offer a replacement or refund unless a majority of the birds are not what they're supposed to be. If a bird is a crossbreed then we will refund/replace.

Due to the beard, muff and head tuft genes being dominant, and other birds being put in to create colours some may appear without one, two or all of the above features. In the bantam varieties leg feathering may occur which is common with the bantamization of breeds.
Lavender cuckoo has a 25% chance of appearing as we used lavender to make the cuckoo Araucanas.
Black birds with golden hackles appear. The exact reason is unconfirmed as its unheard of even internationally but we believe its due to the lack of autosomal barring on the bird. Unsure as to why it dissapears. these birds would be classified as Melanized Red Birchen
Single combs as well as fully black/blue/splash birds occasionally pop out. We are interested in taking back any plain coloured birds that come from these groups.
Due to a new line of roosters being added in in 2025 columbian or partially marked birds can occur. We do also have a blue laced silver hen in the flock so you may get the odd blue laced silver from silver laced eggs.
Fully white/buff exchequer and partially white birds occasionally pop out.
Single combs may occur as the line our rooster comes from had the occasional single comb turn up.
Project breeds may produce a range of offspring and some may not resemble the parent stock or ideal type at all.
Defects shown here are what we or customers have had from our stock. Other abnomalities may occur. In this case please contact us so we can add it to this list, or remove the bird (s) from our groups if possible/required.
