I apologize, I seem to have forgotten to take the ad down for the winter. I've let the birds go into molt so I'm not getting much for Fertile eggs at this time. Really sorry about that!

I have shipped these eggs to California, and Oregon recently and have had no breakage with 80% development, so there's a good chance it will work fine for you. To double the order I ship in a Large Flat Rate box, that is $20, so the total would be $18+$20 - $38. I accept payment over PayPal...

Up for sale are 10 (plus extras) Rhode Island Red Cross hatching eggs. Our rooster is a pure, docile RIR, and our hens are "Production Reds" (a RIR hybrid that is an excellent egg layer). The result is a bird with lighter coloring than a traditional RIR, but a much better layer of Large and...

Yeah that would probably be it I got it in an auction with a few others that are similiar. Thanks everyone!

I don't currently have a decent picture if the comb, but it is very small and grey/blackish colored, fairly dark.

Hello! I recently bought this chick at an auction, and have never seen any like it. Anyone know what breed it is?

I'm not sure how good that will be- having it left in the fridge with the intestines in could have very easily tainted the meat. You are gonna want to get the guts out ASAP. Wear some gloves if you need, just cut a slot below the pelvis and around the anus- take it outside and most will fall...

That coop sounds a bit small, you should be fine but expand it if possible. For the vent holes- just make sure that they aren't located where drafts will be let in, and do not put too many. The metal roof will conduct the cold, so I would insulate the inside to keep that air out.

That's the jist of it-getting NPIP is the hardest part otherwise it's pretty simple. For shipping quotes id assume you would have to contact your local post office on getting the customs documentation but that's about it yeah.

Actually people do ship eggs in the summer too. I've been getting quite a bit lately haha. If you are NPIP certified, You just attach a copy of your NPIP certificate to the box containing the eggs and get a US Customs Declaration form from the post office and also attach it to your box.

I'm just saying 3 1/2 a square foot per bird is plenty of space. Maybe in the winter when the birds will be more resistant to go outside it will be a little cramped, but as long as he changes te bedding 1-2 times a week the birds should be fine. I understand 4 ft. Per bird is the "BYC Standard"...

From the edge of the wooden coop itself to the other edge of the tiny enclosed area built on to the coop is 4.3X6.4- this is straight from the site he purchased it from. Cover the run with a tarp and put some plastic or some type of covering on the sides of the large run.

Sorry I havnt gotten back to you guys I've been away from my computer for the last few days. I obtained 50 of the eggs from a local auction, and 25 from eBay. I moved the eggs to my hatching incubator day 15, where temps were 99-101 with 85% humidity. The eggs began hatching day 18 but chicks...

I took a look at the dimensions on that- approximately 4.3X6.4, works out to a little over 27 square feet, divided by 5 birds is a bit over 5 square foot per bird. Plenty of space when they have access to a run, but being winter they will not go out as much leading to possible ventilation...
