Eclipse Egger Hatching Eggs
An Exclusive Freshly Picked Chicks Fibro-Cross Project
Meet our Eclipse Eggers! One of our specialty breeding projects here at Freshly Picked Chicks, combining the unique genetics of our Svart Höna with carefully selected laying hens.
Our Eclipse Eggers are created using a purebred Svart Höna rooster over selected hens to produce beautiful, unique offspring with the potential for dark pigmentation, interesting feather patterns, and a variety of egg colors.
The Svart Höna is a rare Swedish landrace known for its fibromelanistic genetics, which produce dark pigmentation in the skin, comb, wattles, and other tissues. By incorporating these genetics into our breeding projects, we're working toward birds that are just as interesting to look at as the eggs they lay!
What Makes Our Eclipse Eggers Special?
- Fibro-Cross Genetics: Svart Höna ancestry gives offspring the potential for varying degrees of dark pigmentation.
- Unique Feather Colors: Expect a variety of feather patterns and colors depending on the pairing. Not every chick will look alike!
- Colorful Egg Potential: Depending on the maternal genetics, daughters may lay shades of green, olive, brown, or other colors.
- An FPC Exclusive Project: These are intentionally bred crosses, not a standardized or recognized breed.
What to Expect
Because Eclipse Eggers are hybrid crosses, there will be variation in appearance, pigmentation, and eventual egg color. Not all offspring will exhibit full fibromelanistic characteristics, and egg color cannot be guaranteed.
Our Breeding Philosophy
At Freshly Picked Chicks, we love creating unique crosses, but we're intentional about the genetics behind them. Our goal with the Eclipse Egger is to combine the fascinating characteristics of the Svart Höna with the egg-laying genetics of our selected hens.
Every hatch is another opportunity to see how these genetics come together!
Please Note: Hatching eggs are sold as an assortment from our Eclipse Egger breeding project. Chicks are sold straight run unless otherwise specified. As with all hatching eggs, hatch rates and the resulting offspring's characteristics cannot be guaranteed.
She was wonderful to work with. And the she sent me a message with the exact eggs she shipped. And she was very professional and prompt. She had the hatching eggs boxed so safely that the eggs, packing materials ect were perfectly intact. The eggs were boxed inside another box with packing peanuts (the compostable ones). Even the exterior box was in great shape. The eggs were sent fedex which I appreciated. So unless fedex just shook the daylights out of them, they appeared to have been handled carefully. The eggs got delivered an hour before i got home and the delivery driver even sat them in the shade. I will definitely order more hatching eggs from her and most definitely recommend her to anyone.
