Assorted Brown Chicken Eggs

All of our brown egg chickens are dependable breeds that yield good to excellent amounts of large brown eggs. In most cases, the breeds included will be cold-hardy and suitable for free range or pastured poultry settings.

Our hatchery selection will have at least 2 breeds of the best brown egg layers. Depending on what we have available, it may include 3 or more chicken breeds. Your chicks could be a mix of hybrid breeds or heritage breeds. We do our best to include a great variety of chicks, so you can enjoy additional beauty and versatility in your layer flock.

Once your chicks reach laying maturity, your hens may produce light brown to dark brown chicken eggs. From our experience, Barred Rock chickens lay nice medium brown eggs, while Buff Orpington chickens can lay pinkish eggs if they have a heavy bloom. All of our breeds produce a variety of shades depending on the hen's genetics.

The fun of a hatchery assortment is that the breeds are a surprise! Enjoy brown egg chicks at a discounted price and collect beautiful farm fresh eggs from your own backyard every morning.

FAQs About Brown Egg Chickens

I only want heritage layers included in my assortment. Can you make sure to include those? We can't make any guarantees about the chicks you receive in your assortment. It is entirely dependent on what we have available at the hatchery that week.

I can't identify the breed of my baby chick. Is there a way to tell? If you need help identifying the chicken breeds are in your assortment, send photos of your chicks to the Myers Poultry customer care team. Our team will do their best to identify your chicks.

I want speckled brown chicken eggs. Can you send egg laying chicks that will produce speckled eggs? There's no way to guarantee speckling in your eggs; speckling happens when additional pigment is deposited during ovulation. While some breeds are more likely to lay a speckled egg, we cannot fulfill requests to send those specific breeds.

Can Myers Poultry send me more than 2 different breeds? We try our best to include as much variety as possible. However, it's determined by what's hatching that week and what we have available. If you want more than two breeds, we suggest ordering those individually.

I'm disappointed with my assortment. Can I return or exchange for different brown egg layers? No, that is the risk of ordering an assortment. We offer competitive pricing on assortments because you cannot request specific breeds.
