Hatching Eggs and Hatching Service

 

Hatching eggs are available in season for most of the birds on the breeds page, please see below the eggs for sale at the moment. Eggs will be sent out either 1st class or Next Day Special Delivery (as requested). Each egg is wrapped individually and contained in a card egg box. Shredded paper is used to pack the eggs securley within the box, this style of packaging gives the eggs the best chance of maintaining their fertility.

 

100% fertility cannot be guaranteed but if, when the eggs are candled at 7 days, the eggs show less than 50% fertility we will replace the eggs. The infertile eggs need to be sent back to us for verification and we will then send out a fresh set of eggs. The customer must send the infertile eggs back at their cost and then the replacement eggs will be sent at our cost.

 

If you require details regarding incubation please ask and we will be able to send some through to you.

Hatching Service

 

We offer a hatching facility for those of you who do not wish to purchase your own incubator or haven't got access to a broody hen. This gives you the flexibility to choose the breed of chicken/duck that fits your needs and you can have your birds from a day old.

 

When you have purchased your eggs (please contact us for help) they will need to be delivered to us for incubation. We will contact you at candling stage to advise you of how many eggs are fertile and then a couple of days before hatching to advise when you can collect your birds.

 

We will take cockerels in, at no charge, if you cannot keep them. We cannot be held responsible for infertile eggs or death of chicks within our care, they will be kept to the best of our ability until you have collected them.

 

Hatching charge is £1.50 per egg.
