Fertilized eggs??
LindsayBrower1:
Maybe a long shot but here we go! Im looking for some hatching eggs and was wondering if any of you may be of help? Ideally id like black copper maran, welsummer, olive egger, ameraucana varieties, my two children and I have been searching high and low and they are fascinated.... the online websites seem outrageously expensive... Maybe I need some advice on what hatcheries are reliable, good customer service, and reasonable with pricing? Thank you :-[
iddee:
I'm too far away to help you, but around here hatching eggs are around 3.00 a dozen.
LindsayBrower1:
iddee I was looking around for these types of eggs and they were like $3-$5 an EGG.... yikes! :o
iddee:
Do a search on Craig's list for eggs. Call a few of the 3.00 a dozen ones. There are many in your area. Ask them if you can get a dozen fertilized ones that haven't been refrigerated. Tell them your kids want to try and hatch some for a school project.
PS. There are chicks available in your area for 5.00 each on CL.

See if you have any local chicken auctions they will sell hatching eggs by the dozen there are for the welsumers they are a higher price. plus getting as close to home as possible insures a better hatch.less trama from shipping
