10 ++ French Standard Splash Marans Hatching Eggs

Description: DON'T BID IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPED HATCHING EGGS. READ ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BIDDING.MY FLOCK: This auction is for 10 ++ hatching eggs are from my pen of Splash Marans. My Splash Marans are bred to the French Standard. This pen is also free of Copper. They are unlike the Splash Marans that come from BBS Marans. BREEDING: I'm a member of the Marans Chicken Club USA and The Marans Club. I work diligently to improve my flock each generation. I maintain the APA standard of perfection which is based on the standards set forth by the French Marans Club. EGGS IN THE PHOTO: Eggs in the photo are eggs from my Splash Marans. They are not the eggs you will receive.EGG COLOR: Marans eggs are generally quite dark and tend to lighten up as the laying cycle continues. After they molt and production starts up again then the cycle starts over. My hens are in various laying cycles therefore egg color may vary from what you see in the picture. It is my intention to give you the darkest eggs possible. Offspring hatching from lighter eggs will still produce dark eggs when they mature.CHICKS: Will hatch as Splash Marans.PHOTOS: All photos are from my flock. I don't use stock photos or photos from others.RECESSIVES: Marans that don't meet the APA standard aren't kept in my breeding pens. However, recessives can happen and offspring may have non feathered legs, yellow legs, dark legs, and dark eyes. It is possible that cockerels can develop Copper but this is very unlikely.HELPFUL TIPS: Once you received your eggs you can set them immediately in your incubator but avoid turning them for the first 12-24 hours. The handling of eggs during the incubation period should be avoided and this includes candling. Marans eggs can be very difficult to candle and they take an extra strong light. The standard candling lights on the marked don't have sufficient light for Marans eggs. If you would like to candle your eggs then I recommend doing this on day 18 using a strong flashlight.HEALTH/TESTING: I'm a licensed Pennsylvania State Certified Poultry Technician through the Pennsylvania Dept of Ag. My birds are healthy and have tested negative for avian influenza and salmonella pullorum. My testing is done through the Penn State Diagnostic Lab. I'm required to test my birds yearly for exhibition purposes. If requested I will send you a copy of my recent testing results.PAYMENT: Payment is due within 24 hours after the auction has ended. I usually ship with 24 hours after payment. I prefer to ship Monday thru Thursday and I will avoid weekend shipping as much as possible.PACKAGING EGGS: I typically double box shipments using a hybrid version of the Meeks Method. Each egg is wrapped in a self adhesive bubble pouch. Please use caution when removing the eggs so the eggs don't break. I suggest setting the eggs on a table then cut the top or bottom of the pouch with scissors then carefully remove the eggs. Sometimes my packing materials will vary. SHIPPING: Shipping charges are a flat $19.50 via USPS Priority Mail. I personally deliver each package to the USPS. The package will be insured against loss and/or damage. You will get an email notification with the tracking number from the USPS when the package ships. I don't combine shipping for multiple auctions won as I'm limited to the number of eggs I can safely ship. I don't give shipping discounts either. Shipping is available to lower 48 states only. Sorry but no shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. I will only ship to PayPal confirmed addresses.USPS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Priority Mail no longer guarantees 2-3 day delivery and delivery can take 4-5 days. Keep in mind that damage claims for hatching eggs may not be honored despite insurance coverage. I have no control over delivery and USPS claims.POST OFFICE PICK UP: If you would like to arrange the pickup of your package at your USPS location then you will need to provide me with your home/cell phone number for me to write it on the package. I encourage local pick up when possible and shipping charges will be waived.CONTACTING ME: I will answer all questions. Please understand that it may take a few days due to my work schedule. I work in the outdoors therefore I'm not always near an internet source. FEEDBACK: Please do not rate my feedback on your hatch rate as I have no control over this. Feedback should be based on your receipt of eggs. I will reciprocate any positive feedback given.*****DISCLAIMER***** You are responsible for your bids so please bid responsibly. Bidders must understand that shipped hatching eggs can be a risk and fertility cannot be guaranteed due to variables beyond my control once the eggs leave my possession. Hatching rates can be compromised through rough postal handling at the sorting centers, transportation, or by USPS personnel. This may include shifting of package contents through falls or throws, x-ray of the package, and delivering the package in adverse weather conditions. Buyer variables may include inferior incubators, improper incubation practices such as setting the eggs under a broody hen, excessive handling of the eggs during incubation, and/or incubator failures such as a loss of power or not maintaining proper humidity for the eggs. I'm not responsible for any of these potential problems. Hatching eggs are perishable and are not returnable. The USPS will not honor damage claims for hatching eggs. If you find this unacceptable then please reconsider.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Be sure to follow Cedar Hill Marans on Facebook. I occasionally hold monthly hatching egg giveaways.Thanks for looking!
