OSTRICH EGGS For Sale!




Our eBay listings are typically for for quantities of 5 "Large" eggs and for pairs of our "XL" and "XXL" eggs. We are happy to list any quantity you want to buy. When we sell eggs outright (not through an auction), we sell anywhere from 1 egg to hundreds at a time.

Unless you request otherwise, we will sell you a pair or batch of eggs nearly identical in size and shape. Though every egg is unique, and may have minor surface distinctions, the texture and color of every egg of a specified "size" is remarkably consistent. Our customers -- especially those who resell the eggs after doing their own magic -- have appreciated this consistency. 

Eggs shown in the photos below are examples of each "size" we sell. Each description includes the ranges of measurements and details the actual colors and textures of the eggs. (I'm still an amateur at digital photography -- I do my best to take photos from the same distances and with the same lighting, but some shots leave something to be desired.)

Every egg has been hollowed out, cleaned and dried through a SINGLE small (3/8") hole in the bottom.  We take great care in getting our eggs off the ground as soon as possible after they are laid.  We have been complimented on the cleanliness and quality of our eggs.  Our hens are healthy and it shows!  We are perfectionists and that shows too!

Other items shown in photos are not usually for sale, but for decorating, display, craft, and gift-giving ideas for you to consider.

Please email us at rickandjoy@jrssouth40.com - we look forward to answering any questions (about eggs or about the birds, in general).  We also welcome your comments and any ideas or knowledge you might like to share with us.  Thanks for browsing!

"LARGE"

Wilma lays these, the smallest of our eggs -- but “small” they are not! Her cantaloupe-shaped eggs are “LARGE” compared to eggs from a hen we used to have AND compared to eggs we’ve seen elsewhere. They range from 16" to 17 1/4" around the middle, and from 17 5/8" to 18 3/4" when measured lengthwise -- bottom to top and back to the bottom again. (These are measurements of circumference.  Diameter is about 5 1/2" wide x 6-7" long.)  Wilma’s eggs have a very glossy, but textured look, and are ecru in color -- more yellowish than they appear in this photo.

XL - "EXTRA LARGE"

Vivian lays really big eggs - think of big, bigger, and biggest! These almost round "XL" eggs average 17 1/4" when measured around the middle (give or take 1/4").  They average 18 1/2" (give or take 3/8") when measured lengthwise - bottom to top and back to the bottom again.  All Vivian's eggs are a glossy cream color (most like the lightest egg in this photo) and have a very textured look.

XXL - "EXTRA-EXTRA LARGE"

With rare and notable exceptions, these are the largest of Vivian's eggs.  Her "extra-extra large" eggs measure 19" or greater when measured from top to bottom and back to the top again. All her XL and XXL eggs are a glossy cream color and have a very textured surface. (The lightest egg in the XL photo is the most true to color.)
