Wanted - any chicken eggs for hatching
« on: February 11, 2015, 11:35:19 am »
Hi All,


We do a 'hatching in schools' programme and I've been asked by one local school if I can do some chicks for their Science Week on 16th March. For that, I'd need to be putting the eggs in the incubator around 23rd Feb but our boys and girls have barely got started yet, so if anyone has hatching eggs for sale this early in the season I'd love to buy some to add to our own and increase the chances of getting a hatch for this school.


Thanks,
Ben

I do have fertile eggs Ben - or they should be fertile, they're working hard enough at it - but they would have to come by post as since my aunt died I don't come down from Scotland  to Cambridge any more.  They are dark brown egg layers.
I'm sure you'll find some closer. :chook: :chook:

I have recently found a company in gloustershire that does mail order fertilised eggs next day delivery, anywhere from £1for basic up to about £2.50 for more "exotic" eggs worth a google.

You are welcome to some of mine, but they would need to be posted...
