Eggs
| PLEASE
NOTE:
WE ARE NO LONGER IN THE POULTRY BUSINESS. JUSTINE HAS FILED FOR
DIVORCE AND WE HAVE SOLD ALL THE BIRDS AND MOST OF THE GOATS BECAUSE
I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR AND CAN'T CARE FOR THEM. THE WEBSITE WILL
REMAIN
AS A SOURCE OF POULTRY RAISING INFORMATION, BUT PLEASE IGNORE ANY
REFERENCE TO EGG OR POULTRY SALES. THE EGG/BIRD SALES PAGES WILL BE REMOVED AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. |
Justine wants her kitchen table back !!! These are eggs that have exceeded the 5 day hatchability "window" during peak egg production in the summer. We
do not sell any eggs for hatching that are over 5 days old. We
often
have hatching eggs from various breeds of fowl that don't get sold
before
they reach this point. These will be made available to "Eggers"
when
we have them. Please contact
us for availability of what you want or watch this page for updates
or sign up for our E-Mail
Newsletter to receive email updates.
WE DO NOT BLOW EGGS! Eggs sold as craft eggs are whole eggs which the purchaser must blow and sanitize themselves. They are not washed or treated in any way which may affect their suitability for crafting. We candle every egg to insure it is suitable for blowing and not spoiled. A list of our eggs suitable for crafters is to the right and a photo of the eggs showing comparative size and color is below. EGG ART EXAMPLES: Click on the links below to see samples of what people have created with our eggs. Pysanky

If you're an "Egger" and would like us to post pictures of your completed projects using OUR eggs, we would be glad to do so and provide you with a plug. Send us the photos and we'll post them as we have time. |
Listed
by size from smallest to largest
Coturnix Quail: About quarter sized, mostly light tan with dark brown "cow" spots all over them, some also have a blue or lavender dusty appearance. See photo below. Bantam chicken eggs: These are smaller than "SMALL" graded eggs. They vary from white to beige depending on breed. . Guinea fowl eggs: These are excellent for craft eggers as they have a VERY thick shell, about 4 times as thick as a chicken egg, and are great for carving. They vary from very light tan to dark beige and sometimes have patches of darker color or tiny spots. Standard white chicken eggs: You can get these at your local grocery store and save us the trouble of packing and shipping them. Standard brown chicken eggs: You can get these at your local grocery store and save us the trouble of packing and shipping them. CRAFT EGG SHIPPING: Please add the packing/ shipping charges posted for hatching eggs HERE to the egg prices from this page to calculate total cost for craft egg orders. If unsure, contact us for an exact quote. Chicken/Guinea and quail eggs must be shipped in separate boxes as the quail eggs are very delicate. 
NOTE: As of February 2007 we are no longer in the poultry
business. This page remains to give others a chance to see what
can be done with "Blown" eggs. |
Coturnix quail eggs - wide range of coloration and no two alike! |
White chicken eggs are in front and pale green Ameraucana chicken eggs in rear. We have sold our White and Green egg layers so these are not currently available |
 Click on the photo to see a larger picture with a bit more detail. The colors don't show up nearly as well as we'd like them to. 1. Peafowl eggs are no longer available as our last peahen died on May 02, 2004 and we released our only peacock to range with the other livestock. 2. We sold all of our BobWhite quail on 3/4/2001 so these are no longer available. |
