Buy fertile Silver Appleyard hatching eggs online
At Game Fowls Ranch, our Silver Appleyard breeding flocks are maintained in optimal male-to-female ratios to ensure high fertility rates. Our breeder ducks are selectively line-bred for broad body structure, vibrant silver-white and chestnut feather contrast, active foraging drive, and calm temperaments. Silver Appleyards are outstanding heavy-class layers, yielding 200 to 270 extra-large white, cream, or pale blue-tinted eggs annually while actively hunting pests across gardens and pastures.
Every hatching egg is hand-selected and inspected prior to packing:
-
Freshness Guaranteed: Collected daily from clean nesting boxes and stored in temperature-controlled rooms ($55^\circ\text{F}$–$60^\circ\text{F}$) to preserve embryo viability.
-
Shell Quality & Size: Only clean, strong-shelled, correctly shape-graded eggs with optimal air cells are selected for shipping.
-
Specialized Packaging: Eggs are carefully secured in custom-cut, high-density foam shippers or double-boxed egg cartons wrapped in shock-absorbing bubble padding to withstand transit handling.
