Funfetti Farm

These will lay 50% dark green eggs and 50% dark brown eggs. Buyer acknowledges that ONCE EGGS ARE SET IN INCUBATOR, fertility is no longer able to be checked.

Shipped eggs disclaimer
* Black copper marans are $55/ dozen.
*Ameraucana BBS are $55/dozen.
*OE and rainbow mixes are $45/dozen.
* OE pen consists of several separated pens, cockerel in each group listed first:
*black copper marans over F1 (CLxBCM) olive eggers resulting in s*x linked back cross 1 generation. Males have diffuse white spot on head from hat

ch and feather out barred.
*Black copper marans over BC1 (BCM x F1 OE) resulting in Back cross 2, 50% even darker green eggs and 50% dark brown.
*black copper marans over pale green speckled splash F1 (BCM xSBEL) OE resulting in non s*x-linked back cross 1. offspring lay 50% green and 50% brown.

*Black ameracuana over black copper marans for F1 generation.
* Cream Legbar over Black copper marans for F1 generation.

*Ameraucanas are:

*Splash ameraucana over blue, black (BBS)
*Black ameraucana over Ermine Ameraucana (currently unavailable)
* Black ameraucana over black ameraucana hens (cliff redden/Susan mouw lines)

*Eggs will be individually wrapped in bubble wrapped and secured/double boxed with additional bubble wrap and/or padding around the interior box. Funfetti farms will mark the shipping box as “GLASS” to be handled with caution and boxes will be instructed to be held at buyer’s post office for pick up unless otherwise specified by buyer. A valid phone number must be provided prior to time of shipping for USPS to contact buyer when the eggs arrive.
*Funfetti farms will ship priority express using flat rate unless otherwise specified, a tracking number will be provided to the buyer.
*Funfetti farms is NOT responsible for lost or damaged boxes as a result of USPS shipping.
* Funfetti farms will make every effort to safely cushion each egg, but shipping conditions (weather, X Ray, travel distance, jostling of eggs) is out of control of Funfetti farms once the package is shipped.
*Buyer acknowledges that shipped eggs are always a gamble, with poor hatch rates possible (again due to weather, shipping conditions, incubator conditions). Funfetti farms will ensure that eggs are fertilized to best of their knowledge and continuously hatches year-round to check fertility. Low hatch rates can be common with shipped eggs, and buyer acknowledges that Funfetti farms is not responsible for sending replacement eggs due to either eggs being damaged in transit, or poor hatch rates. Please buy EGGS only if you are willing to risk that they may not hatch. Your eggs can be rendered infertile, be damaged during shipping, or subject to temperature extremes. Even the most fertile eggs, under the best conditions do not always develop and hatch. Lack of development does not mean eggs are infertile.
*Replacement eggs sent for cost of shipping may be considered on a case-by-case scenario. In this instance, buyer agrees to pay all shipping costs associated for replacement eggs and will be sent as soon as possible with respect to waitlist and laying/weather conditions.
*Egg orders are by breeder’s choice and hen’s cooperation/egg availability. All attempts will be made to fulfill specific egg type requests though.
* When possible, Funfetti farms will attempt to add extra eggs to the order. Please make Funfetti farms aware if there is a specific request of extra for one breed or another.
*Funfetti farms may have shipping delays due to either weather or hen laying conditions. Funfetti farms will do everything in their power to ship eggs out as soon as possible once conditions improve, and will work to remediate any shipping delays in the best interest of best hatching potential for eggs.
*If buyer is receiving black copper marans eggs, buyer acknowledges that Funfetti farms breeds for egg colors and NOT to Standard of Perfection for breed. This may cause heavy eumelanization resulting in some hens that may appear solid black without copper hackles. These hens are still genetically black copper marans and their offspring may hatch out copper coloration in accordance to SOP.
*Buyer a acknowledges that hatching from a dark brown/ green egg does not necessarily guarantee offspring will genetically lay dark brown or dark green eggs. Offspring egg pigment is variable by genetics, and there are several different pigment genes and gene modifiers at play. Buyer is recommended to wait until hen lays approximately 20-30 eggs to determine base egg color.
* Anything beyond F1 Olive egg is not a guarantee for olive color eggs. Backcrosses, and multi-generation olive eggs can give brown, dark brown, light green, dark green, and sometimes even white or blue depending on the recessive genetics at play.
*While it is always fun to open shipped eggs and see dark BCM eggs, buyer acknowledges marans eggs change color depending on the time of the year and the hens laying cycle. Because of this, hens may be in a light-egg cycle at time of order. Funfetti farms will send the darkest eggs possible at time of order with respect to fertilization and order/waitlist fulfillment. Even if eggs are not dark, it does not mean the hen does not possess dark egg genetics. All BCM breeding hens have been tracked for dark-based eggs and were bred for dark eggs.
*Eggs will be marked according to breed/parentage when possible. Funfetti Farm will make the best attempt to mark olive egg crosses appropriately, however depending on the hen’s current pigment, crosses’ eggs may closely resemble each other and may not be marked correctly.
* Some backcross 1 will hatch out as s*x-links. These will be from pale green eggs (sometimes with a heavy bloom), and males will have a diffuse white mark on their head. The males will feather out barred if you chose to keep them. F1 s*x links will also be marked if your order contains them. Not all included backcross 1s are s*x linked.
* Project-type pure breeds will be indicated.
*Hatching eggs will sent within 3 days of being laid
* Different hatching methods may result in different hatch rates and dark eggs can be difficult to candle to observe disrupted or detached air cells. Funfetti farms hatches using dry hatch methods for darker eggs. Shipped eggs should rest for a minimum of 24-48 hours to allow the air cell to resettle. Place the eggs pointy side down, in an egg crate. Gently rotate 45 degrees every 8 hours. For eggs with detached air cells, place pointy side down in an egg crate and do not rotate. Candle each day to see if there is improvement. Some may choose to incubate upright for first 3 days or the entire hatch until lockdown. Please be prepared with a hatching method if you have never hatched shipped eggs before. There are several informational groups and pages online to assist with hatching shipped eggs.
*hatched eggs will ship Monday-Wednesday, and occasionally on Saturdays to avoid delayed time at USPS.
*Funfetti farm does not vaccinate for mareks, but is maintained as AI and PT clean. Birds are tested biannually. Happy hatching!

Still (slowly) plugging away at the pens on the new farm

03/07/2022

Got rained out for the day but got the run frame set up! 40 ft long. This will be for olive egger breeding. Hoping to have the coops, runs, and other breeding pens moved by the end of the month.

03/02/2022

Well, it's sad to break the breeding ones down, but it will be nice to reassemble them on the new farm! Hoping to finish breaking them down this week, and as soon as the snow melts we can put them back together.

Hard to sell for eating purposes 🤣

Hatch day. Mostly olive back crosses , and a few f1s.

Eggs from one of our customers 🥰

Love when the eggs look all glowy-red

02/16/2022

Hello, beautiful 😍

02/14/2022

The state of affairs with HPAI has me very concerned. It has been detected here in New Hampshire in wild mallards. Our flock was last tested mid November, and will be tested again mid-may. We are currently AI clean. I am anticipating, at some point, shipping of eggs/chicks will be affected this spring across the north east with the possibility of mailing eggs and chicks to be suspended by the Dept of ag.

Because of this concern, and because of our upcoming move to our new blueberry farm (yay) which requires physically moving all of our coops and whole flock, I am suspending taking new orders. I hope to resume mid April, and hopefully there will be a better direction with HPAI by then.

Let's all try to make good decisions with our husbandry and flocks/programs; and let's hope HPAI doesn't become a backyard flock issue.

Love these fluffbutts from Muddy Mutt Farm . Looks like I played the cockerel challenge and lost 🤣

Those cheeks 😍

02/01/2022

"They keep getting better!"

And....

"I’m loving all the eggs from my girls I hatched from you. I need to get more from you in a couple months if you can spare some. Can’t wait for hatching season."

Love hearing (and seeing) positive feedback and pretty eggs!

One of my f1 OE back crossed with a blue egg offspring. It's a Super neat egg. You can see in the second picture it is placed next to a pale green, a white, and a blue egg.

I think this hen would actually be a "sage" egg, with the blue base under the brown pigment, but she has depigmentation resulting in a "blue" egg with speckles. Lets see how long she can keep this up for 🤣.

This color also shows the difference in lighting. While the egg is quite blue in person, the shadow cast off from the snow males it look very blue.

01/31/2022

Beautiful
The blue ameraucana eggs in front make the bottom egg look white in comparison 😍

01/29/2022

Never filtered, always fresh 🥰

01/29/2022

Hello beautiful 😍
Not even one of my breeders (yet)

01/27/2022

Love seeing pictures of some of the eggs people get from our hatching lines!!!🥰

01/21/2022

Every day feels like hatch day here!
Ermine and blue ameraucana

Check out these cheeks 😍

We are very fortunate to get organic hydroponic greens dropped off every week. The ladies look forward to this

01/19/2022

Not many breeders eggs today, but they sure are pretty (and never edited, as always)!

01/13/2022

Our monthly subscription of Egyptian calendula came in again, and I'm adding it to the organic sea kelp, which is mixed into the feed. We have 1 more supplement to add in for a balanced winter diet.

Just a general announcements- I'm holding back on BBS eggs for a bit. If you are looking for a March order you can get them (Subject to the ladies laying availability that is) but anything before that would be project bbs as only my black splits are laying reliably. If you are wanting bbs before march please pm me so we can discuss arrangements for either shipping two orders or modifying your original order.
Thanks for understanding. I am, as always at the whim of the ladies productivity😊

One of the employees checking egg fertility for me 😉 she's very slow but does a good job.

12/30/2021

Marans and welsummer 🥰

12/29/2021

Love some new speckles!

12/25/2021

So many have tagged me in an egg picture floating around, so I decided to make my own. I also included what the eggs *actually* look like without photo editing. Don't believe everything you see on the internet, even eggs 😉

12/20/2021

This beautiful boy and his special genes traveled 764 miles yesterday to our little farm. Welcome home 😘😍🥰

12/19/2021

Cutest new hatch... looks to be a blue or splash olive egger (in person). Look at those cheeks😍
Also, a very special rooster is traveling 764 miles to us today!!! 🥰
