As for the limited pre orders taken, I am shipping them as fast as I can…. Production especially with mochas has drastically slowed down cause “Broodies” 🙄

NOT shabby for a brand new layer in the sunshine at that!!!

It’s totally wild how much the egg color in black copper marans change through cycles and seasons. But it’s a fact and if you’re seeking theses out, you need to understand that you’re buying genetics.

As a breeder, there’s so much pressure on us to get the best darkest eggs to the customer and the worry they won’t be satisfied because they don’t truly understand the change that happens.

It’s now April 1, and most birds have been back online for months laying. They just aren’t as heavily pigmented as they are when the cycle kicks back on. They also don’t even lay the same every day anyways. But I wish more understood this. One of my customers & friends this week was turned down by a potential customer because some of the eggs in the dozen weren’t “as dark” as others. It was the end of March, some of those hens had been laying for months. All the hens were covered by the same rooster. I know for a fact this customer has invested in quality and she didn’t deserve the scrutiny at all.

When you’re shopping “or begging in groups” for someone to send you the darkest eggs that exist, you have got to understand the cycles these birds go through. It ain’t happening in April. But the 🧬 is still there.

Signed, a breeder who’s admiring her early Feb eggs pictured below 👇🏻 and knows she’d be the richest egg dealer alive if they’d do this all year long 🫣

Chick Shipping update! ‼️URGENT ‼️

Last summer my PO told me that soon the usps route would be changing to next AM pickup. However it didn’t happen like thought.

Today I found out that my PO and all the ones anywhere near me would have new routes starting April 25. This means that if I take chicks to the PO, they will sit there until 7am the next day. For one my office isn’t open that early. For 2 there’s absolutely no way for me to get chicks and my children to any PO within an hour distance if there was one open that early.

If we have spoken about you getting chicks, please message me again. There won’t be any more chick shipments at this time. With the current 4 day travel they are doing along with sitting there over night, that’s a disaster waiting to happen.

I’m happy to do pickup chicks or even possibly work with livestock transport but unless USPS proves this is a good change, there won’t be any more chick shipping happening for H7!

Hatching egg storage and organization! Doesn’t need to be complicated 🤎♥️💚

About 80% of the eggs that went out today.

Thankfully we don’t have a harsh winter and my girls have been getting it since January. But that also means they are starting to slow down a tad. The Broodys are also coming out to play in the main mocha pen. Which also slows down production. Plus since many have been laying almost 3 whole months, they are slightly fading. It’s just that time of year.

And my kiddos are keeping me slammed in the evenings with horse riding and rodeo practice so all my pretty pic taking has been a minimum 😭😭

But I so appreciate so many of you who are patiently and saying kind comments when I’m tagged in post etc etc about who to get eggs from! I see them and it makes me thankful!

Just to shut down all the rumors.

I didn’t private message anyone anything this am. I dropped my daughter off at school and was back in my vehicle at like 8:58 am and turned the drops on
the back end of my website at 9am sharp. I didn’t even have my eyes open long enough to slide in and give someone a head start 🙄

I have receipts of everything including a time stamp of me signing in my child at 8:56am.

As stated in the original post posted LAST NIGHT was to follow directions. I said navigate to a specific link. Which was the shop all button on my website. Eggs were not loaded anywhere but that page.

I don’t know why I’d message or give anyone an advantage. The ppl who ordered, I also have screen shots of all of our recent or lack there of messages.

If I did pre orders, people would be mad they had to wait till fall with how long it’d be or if it was even open (likely not). I don’t want to hold people’s money for months. That’s why I stopped doing them.

If you don’t like drops and want to pre order, there’s other farms that offer them. I’m doing my best. I’m a one woman show but if you are going to be rude, start rumors or dramatic towards me or my farm, I’ll block you so that you can’t even see what I do.

I’ve had a great experience the last few weeks with customers and those who have scored drops or those who did get on the pre order list before I closed them.

But like I said, I come with receipts 🧾

Time stamps.
Messages from the person who did score the FIRST order this am with what she saw. Messages of those who got the other scores!
And a screen grab of my original post with how to get to the eggs.

If you can’t see the drop, it’s a cookie issue on your end. You might have to clear cache. This is for future reference as they are all out now. Thanks for being patient as we find the best way to do these for you and me 🤎♥️
