Hi again all out there in poultry cyber world....
Am a newbie to hatching and although my first batch in the incubator failed I am totally into this now....
I have made my own homemade system and have just set my second batch. I learned a lot from my first ever attempt, and have now used that fast gained knowledge on my second go.
My question is simple, my family and I love Pekin Chicken's and want lots of them as pets to add to our almost mini zoo at home. I was searching eBay last night and a seller is offering frozen fertile eggs. They claim that they will pack them very carefully and whilst in our UK postal system will be defrosting..... Is it possible to freeze these eggs?. If so could I not do this at home so I have an good supply ready for each time I wish to set some. How long could they be frozen?. Anyone know at what tempreture?....
Sorry its a lot of questions but Dad always said unless you ask you will never know....
Hope someone can answer me...
