100% Pure Breed Light Brahma Hatching Eggs 

 

Brahmas were first exported to England in December 1852, when George Burnham sent nine "Gray Shanghaes" to Queen Victoria as a giftThe Dark Brahma variety was developed by English breeders from this stock, and later re-exported to the United States.

The dark Brahma has the most notable difference between cock and hen: the hen has a dark gray and black penciled coloration with the same hackle as the light, whereas the cock has black and white hackles and saddle feathers, and a black base and tail; the wings are white-shouldered, and the primary feathers are edged with white.

Our flock is NPIP Certified and AI Clean and our Farm is a member of the American Poultry Association. Whether you're a seasoned poultry farmer or a beginner just starting out, these hatching eggs are a great choice for starting or adding new life to your flock.

    We do not wash hatching eggs so as not to remove the natural protective bloom, an although our hatch rate on the farm is 97 percent with commercial Incubators, we hatch 300 of our eggs every 21 days, to monitor hatch rates. It is industry standard that mailed eggs usually have a reduced hatch rate this is due to how they are handled by the USPS. We ship all eggs within 48 hours of them being laid so that our eggs are fresh the day we mail them. All eggs are shipped in foam shipper with pointed end down and in priority mail shipping boxes and are clearly marked with labels stating: (Fragile, Live Embryos, Hatching Eggs, No X-Ray, Avoid Extreme Temperatures and a NPIP Certificate Label with our Certification Number on it.) Due to these issues that may still occur in shipping. We are unable to refund your purchase for any reason. And we absolutely do not except returns of perishable items. “Please do not ship incubated eggs back to the Post office.

    We only ship hatching eggs Monday-Wednesday. unless otherwise requested by the customer. Understand that shipped eggs can have 0-100% hatch rate.

    Leaving negative feedback on the our page without consulting me for a resolution is unacceptable. Leaving me negative feedback for issues that happen with the USPS after your order is shipped is nowhere in my control. So, should I get a bad mark for the postal service? All orders are insured by the USPS. It’s your purchase and you must make the claim for shipping insurance.

    During shipping, your eggs may have experienced excessive variations in temperature, humidity and pressure changes that may have occurred with fluctuations in altitude. These conditions coupled with careless handlers can, unfortunately, affect the viability of the eggs.

    Thank you again for your purchase! Here's a few tips to maximize your hatch!!

    • Carefully remove each egg from the foam shipper. DO NOT lift the entire shipper out of the box! The eggs will fall out of the bottom!!
    • Inspect each egg for cracks or damage. To check for micro-cracks, use a Candler or bright flashlight. A cracked egg, even if the crack does not penetrate the membrane, becomes susceptible to bacteria. Do not incubate any damaged eggs, they could ruin your entire hatch. Please Don’t risk it.

    Please notify me if there is significant damage to your eggs upon arrival. If applicable, please take pictures to provide evidence for the USPS claim.

    • Candle the eggs to ensure the air cell at the big end of each egg is stable. Shipping can cause air cells to be detached completely or partially, rolling, saddled, or scrambled. The air cell should appear round and secure. Mark any eggs that have "questionable" air cells for easy identification.
    • Place the eggs, pointy end down, into an egg carton, hatching tray or the foam shipper. Let eggs rest, undisturbed, at room temperature for 24 hours prior to setting. This resting period can greatly increase your hatch rates by allowing the air cell to settle back into the proper position.
    • While eggs are resting, prepare your incubator. This will allow 24 hours to evaluate the humidity and temperature stability. I set my incubator at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, relative humidity, on days l-17 at 45-55% and on days 18-21 at 60-70%.
    • If you determine any air cells to be detached. even in the slightest, I highly recommend setting the eggs in your incubator vertically' (big end up) and leaving them to incubate without disturbing or turning for 2-3 days. As the germinal disk develops the veining will help stabilize the air cell at the top of the egg. For what it's worth, when I set shipped eggs, I always let them sit for 36-48 hours after setting regardless of any signs of detachment. If I do see signs of detachment, I let them sit for a full 72 hours.
    • Keep me posted as to your progress and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
    • Most importantly, have fun! Enjoy the process and the adorable result!

    Good luck and Happy Hatching!!
