The temps are what I'm worried about just getting them from anyone. I would like to get them from people who know a thing or two about how to store hatching eggs. They don't need to be any specific color or breed or anything. In fact they would prefer different colors and breeds so that they...
Long time no talk! It's been forever since I've been on here and...I'm in a bind. My chickens slowed way down on laying bc of the heat and I'm supposed to have 6 dozen hatching eggs for the exhibit to hatch during the Washington county fair. I need them by Aug 3rd. Anyone have any extra fertile...

You live about three hours away though :(
You wouldn't be interested in shipping me some eggs or chicks would you?
Just so everyone knows I am going to order chicks from Murry McMurray hatchery this week. No later than Friday. I live just north of Nowata. If you would like to combine an order let me know. :) I'm already ordering the minimum so no worries there.
