Silver Spangled Appenzeller Egg
Temporarily Out Of Stock
The Appenzeller originates from Switzerland, because of this they are well adapted to mountain life. They like to roost up high and are excellent climbers - so their run must be extra secure or have complete free range.
They are brilliant forgers and will often look after themselves, whilst laying well on little food. They are a slender chicken with a distinctive forward pointing crest.
We average an 85% fertility rate, all our breeding stock is carefully sourced in order to up hold the breed standard.
The parent stock is fed a quality Breeder pellet which contains extra energy and vitamins, making for a stronger chick.
We recommend that you collect the eggs if possible as this will give the best results. We can post eggs out but cannot promise the fertility rate after this.
We will contact you when eggs are ready to be collected or shipped as eggs are collected to order to ensure freshness!
