i am in the midst of moving. i found a notice to vacate my place when i got back. land lady sold it, i need a place before feb 1.

after that i will shake as many eggs as you desire

That's not very nice of her

Did you manage to find somewhere else?

not yet but i will get something this weekend.

i checked out shipping eggs to ireland. its USD 75 for a 13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" box. That would hold 20 eggs if we used my foam inserts from texaspoultry,com.

The real issue is the time it takes - 3-5 days. You would need eggs all laid within 3 days.

Let me know if you want me to set something up.

Too bad I cant carry them for you.

Wow, that you for the info! I'm looking for White Face Spanish and Java eggs as both breeds are extremely rare this side. There are only 60 Spanish breeding hens in the UK and I found only one breeder of Javas so far. I'd love to breed the Spanish, but the gene pool is so small it's nearly impossible not to inbreed, that's why I'm looking at importing eggs from the US. If possible. I believe I will need a permit to import "poultry products" and there's some paperwork needed from the supplier in the US as well.

I am in Maine and it was -12 yesterday morning at 6am. My 8 chickens in 2 coops are doing fine with just one heat lamp each coop. I check on them often but they all seem fine!!
