We don't set eggs on a shelf to age, they go out!From Greenfire, The ONLY legal importer of this breed, and where we directly purchased our chicks, says this:
As a chicken the Deathlayer seems to have it all: the coolest breed name in all of poultrydom, spectacular good looks, and a history in its native Germany that goes back more than 400 years. How did it merit being called a Deathlayer, a name that is metal to the core? There are two competing theories. A literal translation of its German name, Totleger, means “death layer.” One theory has it that the name was bestowed because the hens of this breed are so productive they lay an egg each day until the day they die. The second theory – less sensational but probably more accurate -- is that the breed was first described by a different name in low German (Dauerleger or, literally, “day layer”), and over the centuries this name morphed into Totleger. Either way, what cannot be denied is that the Deathlayers do lay a large volume of medium-sized white eggs, and their remarkable appearance is like having visiting royalty in your chicken coop.
I will never ship you an egg I would not incubate myself, no significant thin shells or imperfections! I hate getting those from other sellers so will not ever do it to you! On that note depending on season hens DO NOT wipe their feet! Some smudges or a little dirt will not affect hatchability! I NEVER know when this BIN will sell and we do not store eggs. They might be ready right away or it could be a week delay depending on gathering and shipping days or an order ahead if you!
I raise these birds with only good shelter, so don't think these birds are frail. You can see Frostbite on my roo's combs!
Happy Hatching!
