    Description

    You are buying 12+ fresh fertile hatching eggs plus extra(s)! I always include extra(s) in case of any breakage and as a thank you but with my packing breakage is extremely rare!
    I don't store eggs long, so you might have to give us a couple days to collect for your paid order.
    CALL FOR PICK UP SHOULD BE PLACED ON ALL BOXES! Use "MESSAGE TO SELLER" AT TIME OF PAYMENT!
    NO Eggs should be left out or put under undue handling/heat/cold by route delivery trucks!
    The Barbezieux is a particularly large chicken breed, some roos going almost 26" tall, with black feathers that have green highlights, and a sort of characteristic large white ear. The rooster is extremely proud: its comb is simple, high riding and inclined to the right and back. The hen, on the other hand, has a slender head, with a soft comb that lies to one side. The hens produce large white/light tan brown eggs.
    FROM Greenfire: The Barbezieux is notable for two reasons: it is the tallest native chicken breed in Europe, and it is one of the best- tasting meat chickens in the world. As to the former, the Barbezieux will likely tower over any other chicken breed you have on your property, and as to the latter the Barbezieux is revered by some gastronomes as superior to the revered Bresse when the birds are roasted. (Traditionally, Bresse are poached when they are prepared for the table.) The skin roasts to a golden color with the smell of wheat, and the meat has a distinct flavor reminiscent of wild game.
    Barbezieux originated in the Middle Ages in the Charente region of France near the Southwest coast of that country. The region is known for the production of salt and Cognac (named after a village in that region).
    By 1997 the breed was all but extinct, and in that year a group of poultry enthusiasts banded together to restore the breed. A society was formed for the protection of this beautiful bird, and in the intervening decades it has made a bit of a comeback.
    Its reputation as a meat chicken is becoming better known, and recently Barbezieux were ranked third in a competition of 20 meat breeds by the French food guide, Gault Millau.
    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 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! There are MANY reasons an egg does not develop, especially on shipped eggs. PLEASE read the pack slip for tips on handling shipped eggs. You do not handle them like eggs from your own coop! If you have a problem CONTACT ME! DO NOT leave negative or poor feedback without the courtesy of even a contact. My phone, email and ebay messaging all WORK! Eggs are Risky! I have bought, sold, and shipped eggs for almost 40 years before there even was an ebay. I have been on the receiving end of no hatch MANY times and I am NOT like other sellers! I always work with my buyers with those problems. I raise these birds here in Northern Idaho with only good shelter, so don't think these birds are frail. Happy Hatching! I am ISDA NPIP AI #101 certified breeder and seller! I can Ship ANYWHERE in the Continental USA except Buying hatching eggs is risky! I do NOT guarantee your hatch rate due to things beyond my control once they leave the farm! Eggs will be 48 hours old at most when shipped and I ONLY ship on Saturday, Tuesday and Wed! No refunds on hatching eggs for any reason. I ONLY guarantee them to arrive unbroken NOT including the extras provided in case of any breakage! Pictures at time of arrival is required and buyer pays shipping for ANY replacements! NO guarantees of any kind if eggs are left out after delivery by tracking information, let me know if you want a "Call For Pick Up" on the box for your post office! There is NO refunds on eggs for any reason. See my feedback! NO guarantees of any kind on eggs or chicks shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, New Mexico, Texas or Puerto Rico due to tragic delays and poor handling to New Mexico in the past.
