Title: Hatching Eggs for Sale
Post by: Marches Farmer on May 29, 2013, 03:58:15 pm
I've now had three good hatches in the last month from my breeding groups of Dorkings, Speckled Sussex and Barnevelders.  I breed only from hens in their first year of lay that have been hatched on the farm and been 100% healthy all their lives. The chicks have proved robust and are growing away very well.  I collect eggs to order only so they will be very fresh and will be packed in purpose-made poly boxes.  I shall be running the cockerels with the hens for one more month only so please let me know if you'd like hatching eggs.

I charge £1.50 per egg plus postage, which is up to the buyer:  1st class or next day delivery at cost.

I apologise for the delay in replying - not been near my computer for a while.  Next day delivery is £6.95 - that's in a purpose-made polystyrene hatching egg dispatch box.  Let me know if you'd like to order and I'll give you details of where to send payment and start collecting eggs.  I always send the most recently laid, so in the case of the Dorkings they'll only be 2 days old and I won't post on a Friday or Saturday.
