Description: 6-*Extremely Rare* Shetland Hen Eggs Shetland Hens are an extremely rare breed of landrace from the windswept Isles of Scotland. Tracing their origins back to the Spanish galleon boats that ran aground almost 500 years ago, these hardy birds bred with the local Scottish chickens to produce a race of birds noted for their beautiful blue/ green eggs and their unique tufted head feathering (or “tappit”). There are only a few flocks known here in the US, as they were just recently imported into the country a couple years ago. We are proud to steward such a noble breed, and they are actually quite sweet birds that are quickly becoming one of our favorites here on the farm. Our flock consists of a multi colored rooster over various colored hens. We have been focused on selectively breeding the lighter colors to produce colors like cream and red. 😍 Fertility is fabulous and the ladies are laying in droves! All our eggs are fresh and collected daily and are shipped unwashed (unless specified otherwise). Your eggs will be laid the same day as purchased (or the day before, depending on time of purchase). Our eggs are packaged with care and put into a carton, then packed in bubble wrap and put into a shipping box with shredded material. We mark all boxes “Fragile” unless specified otherwise. We ship Monday - Wednesday. Eggs are shipped via Priority Mail and typically take 2-5 business days. Please plan your incubation accordingly. Eggs are good to incubate up to 14 days old in case of a delay in delivery. Once the eggs leave our hands we can not be held responsible for the time or manner in which they are treated. Our packages are insured; if any damage occurs during shipping please message us pictures of the box and pictures of the damaged eggs and we can help you file a claim. We do recommend putting a “Hold for Pickup” on your shipment. This will likely avoid the bumping and jostling that may occur on your regular mail route. The Post Office will call you upon arrival and you can then pick up your eggs and transport them safely. *If you wish for your order to be held for pick up at the Post Office, please indicate so in the checkout instructions along with your phone number.* If you have any questions please ask before you purchase. I'm happy to help answer any questions you may have. ☺️ Disclaimer: When purchasing from us, you agree to the following: Because of the nature in which eggs are shipped, we cannot guarantee hatch rates or predict the success of your hatch due to multiple factors (shipping, handling of packaging etc.). Please purchase only if you are willing to assume the risk of shipped eggs as refunds will not be given. Please understand we do the most on our end to provide great genetics, healthy parentage, strong intact eggs and good packaging at the time they are shipped. However there are assumed risks when buying shipped hatching eggs, if you are not comfortable with that risk, it would be better to purchase live chicks (which we also ship in the Spring and Fall).Please do not leave feedback based on your hatch rate, too many factors outside of our control can contribute to a poor hatch rate. Please leave feedback based on the condition you receive your eggs in and your purchasing experience. We have many great reviews and satisfied customers! Please be advised that USPS can take longer than anticipated. Just because the estimated time for your delivery has past, does not mean your eggs are not able to be incubated. If for some reason your eggs are in transit longer than 10 days, please contact us and we will help you. If you have any questions at all please feel free to message before or after a purchase. Blessings, and thanks for looking!
