hatching eggs

Lost my faverolle cockerel to something over the summer so I'm looking to replace him! Hatching eggs or an available full bred rooster would be ideal. Not in the market for hens because I have a few. I'm in southern jersey.

Is anyone else having issues with shipping hatching eggs via USPS Priority Mail (1-3) days taking longer? In the past few weeks I have shipped off 3 boxes of eggs; two to New York and one to Alabama (from Wisconsin). Not one of them was on time. The first one to NY took 6 business days. The...

Hey guys I plan to hatch call ducks in the spring and I’ve never hatched eggs before. I wanted to do a practice run and just makes sure my set up and everything is good A friend gave me 24 fertilized eggs and my incubator only holds 12. So is there any signs on which may be better? Does size...

My boyfriend and I made the decision a few months ago to start breeding rare/endangered chicken breeds, and since then we have been working on acquiring good-quality stock from reputable breeders. We try to buy locally as much as possible, but we've had to drive upwards of 6 hours to obtain some...

Is it worth it to order hatching eggs through the mail in November? (I live in Virginia) I want to order quail hatching eggs but should I take the risk of them getting chilled? Does anyone have experience with how much this will affect the hatch rate?

Located in the Tampa Bay Area. 9 Australorp Hens and 1 very active Rooster. All sorted for confirmation, personality and breed standard. Majority are laying as of 3 weeks ago... several more to kick in. They are equal to my Rhode Island Reds in egg quality. Perfect for someone selling hatching...

Hi there everyone! I recently went to a breeder and got 6 Mille fluer and Porcelain Pekin bantam eggs. I have a Janoel 24s incubator. She had been saving them for a week which I have read is perfectly fine. I candled the eggs at day 8 and saw that 5/6 eggs were developing which was great! Soon...

Mostly looking for coturnix (jumbo or regular) and California valley eggs but open to others. Thank you!

I’m not set on a specific breed. Just trying to see what’s available out there. Thanks!

Aloha, I’m looking to get some high quality (bearded) Silkie hatching eggs but I’m not sure where I should order from. I live in Hawaii so anywhere on the west coast would be ideal but any recommendations at all are appreciated!

No one told me how broody Australorps could be - omg!!! Mine is relentless and even with putting her in the "broody bin" and giving her daily soaks it can take over a week to break her. I love her but I'm getting so sick of doing this. We don't have a rooster and can't because of city rules, so...

So I have a bunch of eggs (25) that I’m trying to hatch. I have a few questions and concerns. Starting off last Wednesday (Aug 31) I tried to keep the eggs warm via candles until I could get back power. The ones I could transport I took to my aunts who has a generator. So they weren’t without...

So I can’t smell much as is but I noticed a smell in my incubator. i had a bunch of eggs that needed to hatch/were going to hatch/are going to hatch soon in here. This is my lockdown incubator. I already had 4 eggs that are going day 26 and two going on day 21 -23. I took the one that was on day...

Hi! I would like to buy eggs from chickens with unique eyes! I've seen some people on this site with beautiful chickens with light blue eyes with light brown, light blue eyes with orange, different color eyes, and marbled eyes. Please message me or reply in this thread if you have any fertile...

I am by no means new to chicken keeping and have been obsessed with birds and homesteading since I was a young child. I currently have 5 ayam cemani, 2 unknown bantams, and 2 broad breasted white turkeys. I used to have a much larger variety of poultry and breeds. I am freelance commission...

The day after I got fertilized eggs for my broody hen to hatch my husband thought our chickens laid them and brought them inside (our house is around 69/71 degrees). I noticed around 12 hours later and put them back under her. I’ve had 2 of the 5 eggs hatch. One on day 18 and one on day 20. The...

My 4 year old khaki Campbell hen went (this is her very first time broody) broody and her eggs hatched today some of the ducklings don't seem to energetic right now and its making me a bit worried, their all staying with their mom on the nest she's still sitting on some eggs which I don't think...

sorry, wrong forum. I didn't know how to remove the post.

Had this ever happened to you?: I started with 17 BCM hatching eggs I bought for my broody Cuckoo Marans. One disappeared. One she tossed, which cracked and had an embryo in it 😟. I tossed 3 last week that were not fertilized. I tossed two more tonight that were not fertilized. One of the two...

Hello, this is my first time doing this on my own and was just wondering how these day 4 eggs look? First half are unknown mixed breeds and second half are Ayam Cemanis. Thank you for your guidance. Important note, the last two AC eggs were cracked when I got them (one internal and one external)...
