New Hampshire Eggs

The New Hampshire is a beautifully red-feathered and fast-growing breed that epitomizes American innovation and quality. Originally derived from Rhode Island Red lines, this bird was prized for its rapid growth and solid egg-laying ability. Due to these strengths, the NH was able to dethrone the Barred Rock as America’s #1 broiler in the 1930s.

Frank purchased his NH line from Leon Meyers over 30 years ago and has been working on improving it ever since. This line maintains a traditional American confirmation and look, different from the German features of many NHs being hatched by small breeders today. Our birds are also much better conforming and meatier than the egg-laying focused lines of New Hampshires normally found at large commercial hatcheries.

Please also note that while our birds can win shows sometimes, our breeding is more utility than show-focused. Getting show-quality stock cannot be guaranteed to those purchasing chicks or eggs.

Shipping: Hatching eggs are no more than 3-4 days old when shipped. Each egg is carefully candled and only those with small strong air sacks are sent. Eggs are packaged in high-quality custom foam packaging and then double-boxed for safe shipping. These precautions have led to a high level of satisfaction for our hatching eggs customers. We also like to advise buyers that faster shipping tends to improve the fertility rates of shipped eggs. Hatching egg orders are fulfilled on an ongoing basis, if shipping will take more than 1-2 weeks to complete we will let you know.
