Would you have any hatching eggs for sale and be willing to post them?

Hi there,  my shetland hens not laying yet.
Got some of my egg from' harton hens, green tree farm, York. ' Good hatch rate and he said he has a couple of flocks. Think he's advertising at the moment on preloved.
They re a stunning gentle' breed'.
I have more due to hatch soon from another source in Scotland.
Hope that helps.
