Title: Cream Legbar hatching eggs. Gwynedd
Post by: mwncigirl on April 08, 2013, 10:22:25 am: Cream legbar hatching eggs. Lovely bluey green colour eggs. The chicks are autosexing so it's possible to sex the chicks on hatching. Lovely birds. £5 for 6 eggs. Would prefer not to post.

Is this a once only offer or will you have hatching eggs for sale in a little bit?

Post by: ScotsGirl on April 08, 2013, 08:30:09 pm: I would love some but they would need to be posted as I couldn't collect. Only in Wiltshire. I will check why size incubator my mate has unless a hen goes broody. Normally my bantam goes broody about now.

Post by: ScotsGirl on April 09, 2013, 01:42:41 pm: Thank you! How much will postage be? I would take 12-18 eggs. Just checking incubator availability.

Post by: hughesy on April 10, 2013, 10:40:25 am: It'll cost you £5.65 at the post office 1st class to post a dozen eggs. Assuming they're packed in poly egg boxes. Don't forget the cost of the packaging.

Yup. It's just gone up from £4.30. This time last year it was £3.70.
