Soft Sage Hatching Eggs
Soft Sage Layers is the name we've given our line of olive eggers with a heavy bloom. We have meticulously selected and crossbred to produce this line, and are thrilled with the heavy blooms these hens lay over their eggs! We are excited to share that every pullet for our 2023-2024 lines lay an egg with a heavy bloom! Approximately 1/2 of these birds will continue laying heavy blooms over their eggs throughout their full laying cycle, while the other 1/2 will produce these beautiful green eggs with a lighter bloom as their laying cycle continues. These are definite gems in our egg baskets! These birds have added quite the fun egg color/bloom genetics to our Woodland olive egger line! The birds are elegant, light framed, and come in a variety of feather patterns.

Please note: As with any egg color genetic breeding project, there is a chance that the desired trait is not present. Although all of our 2023-2024 hens lay a heavily bloomed egg, please be aware that there is a chance this trait may not be present. As always, I will share the best hatching eggs available with our customers durring the hatching season.

Hatching Egg Guarantee
While we guarantee that our eggs will arrive intact and beautiful, please note that hatching results may vary even if you are experienced. Due to the variable nature of incubation, hatch rates can be influenced by factors such as handling, temperature, humidity, and transportation, among others. We take great care in selecting, delivering, and shipping our eggs, but we cannot control the conditions in which they are incubated. Although we hope you have wonderful hatches, we cannot guarantee your hatch rates. Thank you for understanding.
