Description
You can place your Buff Orpington Hatching Eggs under a broody Buff Orpington hen to incubate your eggs instead of using a incubator. The Buff Orpington is a one of the best chickens for meat and eggs and also have a very quite disposition. Do not attempt to overheat your incubator in order to speed up the process. This will result in the embryo’s developement to speed up, but will also reduce hatchability and cause abnormal chick development. (see FAQ)
We generally do not ship mid June through the first of Aug due to the heat of the summer causing a higher risk of eggs not hatching because of the heat”
NO Guarantees on hatchability – NO refunds – Order at your own risk

I have TEN! Yes, count them TEN YELLOW FLUFFY BALLS OF GOLD running around my brooder right now. All 12 were fertile. I lost two in the last week before hatch. Probably due to the extreme weather swings during that week……interacting with my incubator. I did turn on the dehumidifier to keep everything balanced and had no problem after that. From now on, I will have it set and running throughout every hatch. But, 10 is more than I expected. These guys are vigorous running around and jumping up on things. And just has happy as I could ever want. I here them singing throughout the day and then they sleep all night. So sweet……
