From the slopes of the Swiss Alps comes a very hardy little chicken with a rather unique look, the Appenzeller Spitzhauben. It was bred in the 15th Century to survive the harsh mountainous environments of isolated monasteries whose communities required a breed that could fend for itself quite well – foraging along the rocky slopes; be a fairly productive layer as well as a tasty table bird; and be able to survive the harsh climate without too much difficulty – no large combs or wattles to freeze. The Appenzeller Spitzhauben is ideally suited to life in the mountains as they are excellent climbers especially on steep rocky ground and can fly well, often making nests and roosting in trees. They are even known to have stayed in the trees throughout winter. They are active foragers, constantly being on the move scratching the rocky ground for insects and tidbits of greens. Hens are early layers capable of producing plenty of medium-size white eggs on very little food thus making them ideally suited for free range systems. Guarantee...... there is no guarantee that your eggs will hatch once they have gone through the PO. Please realize when you buy hatching eggs it is a gamble due to shipping and your own incubator. Viable eggs can leave the farm and arrive at your home in a non-viable state. Just because other eggs in the incubator hatched, even shipped from someone else, doesn't mean all the eggs will as it depends on the handling of that particular box during shipping. Your eggs may not hatch. Because of factors related to shipping, a fertile and viable egg can be shipped to you and arrive in a nonviable state. When candling the eggs, nonviable eggs appear clear, just as infertile eggs do. I wrap each egg, pack inside bubble wrap or shavings filled box and write Fragile- Live Hatching Eggs on the outside of the box to alert the post office to its contents. Due to the time sensitive nature of the eggs, I want to get them to you as soon as possible. I ship them Priority mail and put insurance on them in case of a problem while in shipment. Once the eggs leave my hands I am not responsible for their handling. I do not guarantee hatch rates. As with all shipped eggs, hatch rates are variable and not within my control. I do guarantee that the eggs are fresh, within 4 days of shipping and they are fertile since I also set from the pens every week. I guarantee that the eggs are from the proper pens noted on the eggs and are the eggs specifically ordered. I do not make up some obscure code but I do write the rooster's name on the eggs so you know which pen it is from. Disclaimer: by purchasing these eggs it is understood by the buyer the risk of hatching eggs and the seller is no longer responsible for eggs once they leave the address of origin. I will send extras if the hens participate. Once payment clears I will mail on the first Monday or Tuesday after the auction eggs - this will keep eggs from "camping" at the Post Office.
