You are bidding on 6 critically endangered Cream Spotted Dutch Owlbreard hatching eggs! The Cream Spotted Dutch Owlbeard is currently an unknown color variation. Two hatched from eggs that I imported from Holland. They were supposed to be Golden Spotted Dutch Owlbeards! The person who sold the eggs to me has no idea as to what happened as he has an enclosed breeding pen, and does not even have cream colored birds on the property. I have to assume it was a color mutation. I have spent years breeding this color, to insure that they breed true to color. I do not know of anyone else in the USA that has any Dutch Owlbeards, regardless of color! They are excellent egg layers, laying 5+ extra large white eggs a week. They start laying eggs at about 5 months old. They continue to lay well in the winter, without requiring supplemental lighting. They are tremendously friendly and have amazing personalities! The birds in the pictures are not the birds that are laying the eggs that you are bidding on. They arpicturesrds that the eggs you are bidding on will look like. They hatched from eggs that were laid by the same birds that are laying the eggs that you are bidding on. The birds in the pictures are only 5 months old. I will post more pictures soon! To ensure that you receive the freshest eggs possible, I ship eggs that are less than 2 days old. I collect the eggs on the day before and on the day that the eggs are shipped. I have better than a 96% successful hatch rate at my farm. Due to circumstances beyond my control during shipping, I can not guarantee that the eggs will hatch. I have absolutely no control of how they are handled during shipping. I take every precaution to ensure that they will arrive safely. I ship them by USPS Priority Mail, which usually takes 2-3 days for delivery. Please give feedback on how the eggs and how they are packaged, not on how well they hatch. I have no control of how well they hatch. Here is some history on the Owlbeard: The Owlbeard is a very old, if not the oldest, Dutch poultry breed. It appeared in many paintings from Old Dutch masters. There is some sort of relation between it and the bearded Poland. Certain breeders believe that Polands were cultivated from this breed. They have no wattles and instead we find a beard and muffs, which cover the "chin and cheeks." Very striking is the horned cock's V-shaped comb. This is nearly twice as high as that of the hen, respectively two and one centimetres. The Owlbeard is a rather large ornamental chicken with a beautiful upright carriage and a sloping, medium long and -wide backline. Characteristic is the broad, deep and full breast and the richly developed neck hackles. The upright tail is also well developed with nice, broad tail coverts and long, broad and well-curved sickle feathers. The eye colour is brown-red and the earlobes are white. The colour of the beak depends on the colour variety. This also is the case with the leg colour. In general, the Owlbeard is a healthy, hardy and vital breed, which satisfies best when kept on free range. This is a real showy bird to have walking free in your garden or in a park. They are good layers, excellent table birds and also good for poultry shows, where they usually get a lot of attention. They are early layers. Under the right management, they can lay at the age of just five months. Generally speaking, they are non-sitters but if they do hatch chicks, they are great mothers. It is a friendly intimate breed with few problems. In Holland, we have a very active breeders club for this nice breed. The breeding basis is very small and from time to time they have been on the border of extinction from this and also because they are not as widespread as other breeds. Presently a strong and renewed interest in them is found in Holland, Germany and England. There are absent or almost non-existent in America.
