we are planning to hatch some eggs and were wondering if anyone had any fertile eggs available. If so what breeds and how much?, thanks.

registered soay, castlemilk moorit  and north ronaldsay sheep, pygmy goats, steinbacher geese, muscovy ducks, various hens, lots of visiting mallards, a naughty border collie, a puss and a couple of guinea pigs

Light Sussex or Welsummers at £4.00 a dozen plus postage at cost. I can post pictures if they're breeds that you're interested in. 
I also do some Welsex chickens which are a sex linked bird obtained by running a Welsummer cock with a LS hen. All the female chicks hatch brown and the males are white.

if it's nice crossbreeds i should have a few, got 4 cockerals running with the girls at the moment. I regularly hatch my own eggs and get fantastic results!

I'm in fife, and usually go on 50P an egg, duck eggs are a £1 (again crosses)
