Red Roost Farm

Getting so crowdwd!! This incubator included Opal/Split/cream Legbar and BCM. Both already hatched more than 60% and still more pipping.

The second incubator already had 100% hatched from fertilized eggs.
I’m very happy with my hatch rate and incubator!!

Sadly none of my OE from my breeding pen eggs are fertilized, which is curious because they were fertilized for my last hatch. 🤨 oh well

Hmmm… to get or not to get… it’s an arm and a leg for 6 chicks 😭😭 BUT!!!!

As of today I have been broken on eggs. I will not be offering hatching eggs anymore. Let me explain. I started selling Marans hatching eggs many years ago from my line of Black Copper Marans. I always listed the unpredictability of shipped eggs. Also I do believe Marans are harder to hatch due to the thicker internal membrane. Even with that said I still have customers whom want to risk it. So I only pack eggs no older than 2 day past lay. I use custom foam egg shippers and have the eggs held for pickup to reduce travel trauma. I feel I do everything I can. Majority of egg customers are happy a few I don’t hear anything because maybe they didn’t have a good hatch or have a busy life and don’t need to report back to me. Some do report back but are super understanding.

Then there are these customers:

The ones who lay the guilt, tries to use kids, family, broken car or cat…anything to get any type of sympathy item possible.

The aggressive one who insults me, goes to social platforms and belittles my character and business or calls me a thief.

I can avoid all this negative energy and hatch so many more chicks if I don’t offer eggs. I want all haply cusotmers and if I can’t promise success why offer the risk. I hope everyone can respect my choice and I look forward to helping you all achieve your poultry dreams with 🐥🐥 💕 I’m a really nice person I promise, eggs make me cranky 😝

Yesterday collection throw me a nice new color. BCM with the heavy bloom.
