Author of Hatch Like a Scientist
I specialize in incubation and hatch success across multiple poultry breeds.
Kikirikis are a living expression of genetics, combining extreme size with remarkable variation.
Preserving Puerto Rican Lineage
My breeding stock originates from Puerto Rico, allowing me to:
Maintain authentic Kikiriki genetics
Preserve true micro characteristics
Contribute to responsible conservation
At the same time, I embrace the diversity that makes this breed so unique.
Proven Hatch Performance
~85% average hatch rate (local, non-shipped eggs)
~60% average hatch rate (shipped eggs)
Shipping introduces variables outside breeder control.
Hatching eggs—especially shipped eggs—will always involve risk.
Shipping & Packaging
Every egg is packaged with extreme care:
Individually bubble wrapped
Secured in foam shipper or carton
Double boxed for protection
Once eggs leave my hands, shipping conditions are outside my control. Tracking information is provided.

About the Breeder
I grew up in Southeast Houston, spent 10 years in Austin, and returned home to raise my family in Humble, Texas.
I’ve always loved animals but never considered myself a traditional “farm girl.” I’m a science educator with a background in biology, and Humble Hatchery reflects that balance—science, curiosity, and respect for the animals I raise.
