9 (Nine) Ayam Cemani Hatching Eggs Rare Breed Black Fibro Chicken Fertile Farm

Description

Nine (9) Ayam Cemani Hatching Eggs
Shipment on Wednesday, July 7th
Summer Shipment Info:
Check weather temps between Arkansas and your location.  If temps are hot, then forego resting period of eggs and place directly into incubator but DO NOT turn for first day.  Begin turning on 2nd day and proceed with incubation as normal.  Additionally, I've shortened egg collection range to max of 2 days old at shipping date.
From breeding flock of my best 18 birds; 4 Roosters, 21 Hens
Fresh eggs; collection range between 0-2 days old at shipping date, stored at 55 degrees.
True free-range chickens and probably the happiest birds around.
I breed and raise only Ayam Cemani.  Breeding flock freeranges and are not caged for line breed.
My breeding flock is upgraded every few months but cull are still possible.  I'm currently seeing 10% cull rate.  All birds grow to gorgeous adults but I only collect hatching eggs from solid black breeding flock.
What To Expect From These Hatching Eggs:
Not all chicks are going to hatch pure black, and this is normal.  Some will have portions of grey down and/or a clear toenail or two.  A couple might even have white on wingtips (cull), but of course most will be solid black.  By the time they are juveniles, they will all feather in black, including any white wing tips, and grow into gorgeous adults.
About My Breeding Program:
I rarely use my incubator and prefer broody hens.  I do not breed ruthlessly looking for quick results.  I breed the way our ancestors did, slow and natural.  My cull get to live a good life and while most males will eventually be processed to feed my dog and myself, most of the hens remain to produce eggs used for food.  All cull are separated from breeding program and kept in an extremely large fenced run and posh coop.  While the communal breeding flock does produce show quality results, like The Duke A-Number One, Reggie, ZadaN, and Vlad, I still market my hatching eggs as "pet" level.  There is a reason for this and my price is set accordingly.  Because of the communal nature of letting the breeding flock choose their mates, which is part of a healthy and good life, variations such as floppy comb and pigment saturation can occur.  I price the eggs based on percentage of chicks that continue to participate in the saturated black fibromelanosis breeding program.  Basically, I know there will be cull (there is with any ayam cemani breeding program) so I automatically do not charge for those.  I value your satisfaction and I sell the way I would want someone to sell to me.
About Packing & Shipping:
Eggs will be well-packed and shipped via USPS Priority Service with tracking.  Arrival time depends on your location.  Things are changing at USPS and they no longer consider Priority Mail to be 1-3 business days, but rather now state 2-5 business days.  So far, my shipments have been as timely as in the past.  But I obviously can not guarantee arrival time, as they clearly do not guarantee either.  Please consider this risk before ordering, and consider your location and distance from Arkansas.
I take great care in packing these eggs and I'm obsessed with re-using available package material, but there is always a risk of overly rough handling with shipping service.  If you have any problems at all, do not hesitate to contact me, as I will do my best to accommodate any situation, even if it's not my fault.
Don't forget to rest the eggs pointy side down, especially if box looks to have been handled roughly.
About My Ayam Cemani:
My flocks free-range from sunrise to sunset and are extremely healthy with an all-natural diet and lifestyle.
They are very much on their own and the roosters are very active in responding to alarm calls and/or running toward a nest box and guiding the hen to the flock's location.  My dog and I respond quickly to a situation that has all birds sounding alarm, but for the most part they are very smart, lean, and overall well suited to be free-ranging chickens.
The younger birds can fly pretty well, though they only utilize it when stressed.  The most likely scenario is a pullet that doesn't want to be bothered by a young rooster yet, so she'll launch up into a tree or rooftop.  After they get a few months older, hens don't seem to fly at all but a full grown rooster will remind everyone he can..if he wants to.
These birds will behave according to your style of interaction, when they are young.  If you hold them often, they will jump in your lap.  If you don't touch them, they will keep their distance.  Regardless, they will all be curious and want to know what you are up to, especially if you are digging or moving things around.  If they are free-ranging, and you step outside and don't see them but the rooster sees you, he will crow to let you know where the flock is.  These are observations based on life here at Bluegill Hill.  Of course your experience will be different, but I wouldn't be surprised if you find similar personality.
The landscape here at Bluegill Hill is perfect for ground birds and the Ayam Cemani thrive because of it.  They have access to grassy meadows with a variety of insects and other small critters, and plenty of dense shrubbery for them to take refuge if a predator comes around.  I maintain the landscape to benefit ground birds and it works perfectly.  Just before sunset, the flocks converge near the coop, fill the rest of their crop with feed, if needed, and all roost together.
