Hatching Eggs
Fertility for us has been 100%
here at
Lily of the Hill farm.
Our Orpington are the English (Large Fowl) variety originally from the Ewe Crazy Farms line
.
By purchasing these eggs via eBay Auction or Buy It Now you agree to all policy and shipping disclaimers on this page. If you need personalized service we have a website for our farm LilyOfTheHill.com Please check our website as we are not able to sell all our breeds on eBay and only post extra eggs on eBay.
They are HUGE birds with big fluffy butts. The American variety are smaller. English Orpington are known for their low fertility rate but that is due mainly to only feathers that get in the way when mating. Some folks trim (not pluck) the back of their hens (around the vent area only) just enough so that the fertility rate increases....and mine are at 100 percent.
This trimming does not hurt the birds and it is only done during the breeding season.
We are a small farm and take very good care of our birds.
Don't pass these up they are hard to find.
Expertly packaged with hatching instructions included.
You will love these sweet beautiful birds!
Happy Hatching!!
