The Augsburger is an extremely rare Bavarian chicken developed in the 1800s and is known for its duplex or buttercup comb and the generous volume of large white eggs that its hens produce. The unusual comb allegedly was created by crossing the Le Fleche from France and the Lamotta from Italy into the Augsburger line. Only about 25% of pure Augsburgers manifest the duplex comb, and the remaining chicks have straight combs. We cannot guarantee which type of comb will grow on the chicks we ship, but as adults, birds from our flocks should produce chicks with duplex combs. In our hatches, we have lately seen as many as 50% of our chicks with the duplex comb. Price per dozen and includes shipping. Eggs are wrapped individually and shipped 'fat end up' to help keep the air cell stable during transit. Eggs are shipped Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and will be processed in the order they were received. Specific ship date requests should be placed in your order notes and will be honored as the hens allow. If there is a day that you DO NOT want your eggs shipped, please include that information in the order notes as well. We request all hatching eggs be picked up at your local post office to reduce shipping trauma. Notify us if you do not want your eggs addressed in this manner. All eggs are shipped USPS Priority Mail and typically arrive 2 to 3 days after shipping. We ship the freshest eggs possible and package in a manner that will limit the chance of breakage or damage. We do not guarantee hatch rates due to factors that are out of our control such as rough handling, incubator error, etc.
