2026 Pricing
- Spring and Summer (April through September): $1.00 per egg
- Winter Discount (October through March): $0.50 per egg
I don’t sell hatching eggs through the farmstand. Those eggs are washed and refrigerated for eating. Fertile eggs for incubation must be ordered here so I can set aside fresh, unwashed eggs from my breeding pens.
Our 2026 Lines
Andalusian: A gray dilution that ranges from light silver tones to deeper charcoal, often with white wingtips and patches of base color showing through. Because the gene sits on different bases in this line, shade and pattern can vary quite a bit from bird to bird. Please note that we do not breed Andalusian to Andalusian, so approximately half the chicks will be gray tones and the other half will be undiluted.
Sparkly Pansy Pearl: Built on a Pearl base with added Sparkly barring and bold Pansy contrast for a high-pattern, high-contrast look. This line is still being refined, so some chicks may show Pearl or Pansy Fee variations (with or without Sparkly) as we continue selecting toward full expression.
Calico Collection: Cream-to-yellow striations along the back with softer overall patterning and reduced breast spotting on females. All birds are homozygous Calico, so every chick carries the full visible pattern.
Celadon Collection: A variety of colors, but every hen lays light blue celadon eggs ranging from pale to deeper robin’s-egg tones. All birds are homozygous for the Celadon gene, so blue egg color is consistent across the line.
True Black: Deep, uniform black plumage that’s darker than Tibetan, with very little white bleed-through as adults. This line breeds true and is ideal if you want bold, consistent solid black birds.
Splash Collection: Mostly white birds with irregular patches of color that vary depending on the base underneath. Our Splash birds are homozygous and breed true, so that high-contrast patchy look is consistent in every hatch.
More detailed descriptions of each line are available on the Breeding Projects page.
Policies & What to Expect
All hatching egg sales are final. I can’t offer refunds or replacements for eggs that don’t hatch.
Hatch success depends on your setup, including incubator performance, temperature stability, humidity, and egg handling. I provide fresh, fertile eggs from proven breeders, but once they leave my hands, hatch results depend on your equipment and management.
Here on the farm, my fertile eggs average a 90–100% hatch rate, and I’m always happy to share what’s worked here to help you get similar results. Every order includes a simple hatching guide to help you get started.
Ready to Order?
Choose your line and quantity from the product dropdown, then check out to place your order. If you’d like more than one line, add one to your cart, then return to select another. A 25% deposit reserves your eggs, with the remaining balance due at pickup. We accept cash, Venmo, and CashApp. Pickup is by appointment at the farm, and I’ll email you after checkout to coordinate a time.
Please Note
Current lead time is about 10 days to fill orders. Smaller orders may be less. Larger orders may be more.
As of mid-March, inventory can shift quickly with chick hatches and egg demand. I update availability every Thursday to give the best estimate of what will be available over the next 10 days.
Hatchery Choice eggs are typically the fastest way to receive hatching eggs. These are collected from across the hatchery at the end of the day and are not sorted or labeled by line. Your hatch will be a mix of what is available at the time and will be a surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Here are a few things people often ask before ordering.

Yes. Add one line to your cart, then return to this page and add another. Repeat as needed.
Set them within 7 days if possible. The sooner the better. Store pointy-end down around 50–60°F, and gently turn once or twice a day if you’re holding longer than two days.
I don’t guarantee hatch rates once eggs leave the farm because incubators and handling vary so much. On the farm, fertile eggs average a 90–100% hatch rate. Your results depend on your setup.
No. Hatching eggs are unwashed and handled specifically for incubation. Eggs sold for eating are washed and refrigerated.
Pickup is by appointment at the farm. We are located at 114 Wilton Warren Road, Fryeburg, Maine. After checkout, I’ll email you to coordinate a pickup window.
