I actually would prefer to buy eggs. Then I can raise them how I see fit and pick the birds I want. This way I know I’ve done everything possible to maintain their health from the beginning.

Yeah that makes sense I guess it wouldn’t be that bad if you knew the person and knew they were honest I’d have a hard time buying them off of eBay though atleast without talking to them in the phone

I didn't add the shipping the the cost. I believe it was $19.99. (Not bad) .


I would buy game chicks that cheap in a seconed. Eggs are different considering this would be my 5th time trying to hatch shipped eggs with zero success, I know it's not my practices , had 12 eggs from my layers who I had a 100% hatch rate. Although I wasn't saying it was over priced if that's what you mean. Just a lot for me to spend on something with no guaranteed hatch.

Well, I would have thought it was a over priced not so long ago. Not that long ago I didn't even know there were so many different varieties of chickens and ducks. Now I know better. 😆

Well if he didn’t take the time to include pictures of roosters and hens in the initial listing I would have just skipped over it anyway. What did he show a picture of? 1 rooster?

Two pictures of different roosters .
They aren't even from the same website...

If you got eggs from 5 different shippers I suppose it could be bad luck but it’s more than likely something you’re doing to not get at least a chick or two. The shipping is definitely rough on them but as long as they’re packed well I’d think you would have managed a few. What kind of incubator were you using? Did you have any development at all on any of them?

Some development but most were dead on arrival. Cracked \bubbly on the inside. Must be bad luck . One time I had one chick hatch but his legs were all twisted up so I offed him. I'm use this .https://www.walmart.com/ip/Anauto-AUTOMATIC-EGG-INCUBATOR-Chicken-Incubator-Poultry-Harcher-Quail-12-EGG-Incubators-EGG-Incubators-Automatic-Incubators/783105923?wmlspartner=wmtlabs&adid=22222222222000000000&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=t&wl3=10352200394&wl4=pla-1103028060075&wl12=783105923_10000019714&wl14=junoul%2012%20incubator&veh=sem&msclkid=e21bf5e95d13141f6912ab411177685b... . I'm also use ing two calibrated thermometers as well. I agree with buying eggs you get to raise them the way you want, but at least with buying birds you get something that's already been incubated and is living. Then hatch eggs from the birds you bought.
