Fertile Hatching Eggs

[peepsonality]

Hi All,

My mom and I are attempting to hatch chickens in our new Brinsea Mini Advance incubator. We previously ordered from Stromberg's and had 4/7 not develop at all and 0/7 hatch. This is our second time trying and we are looking for an alternative to ordering online from a far distance. Does anyone know of anybody selling fertile hatching eggs around Massachusetts and New Hampshire? As well as any hatcheries around New England, for close shipping. We want to hatch Buff Orpington's and hope to put them in the incubator as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Greetings from Kansas, peepsonality, and

! Great to have you with us! I agree with - the shorter the distance they have to go through the mail, the better off you'll be on the hatch rate. My best advice for local folks is to try the Mass. and N.H. threads in the link below - maybe someone can help you out. Good luck!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

You may also want to check in the Learning Center for the article Hatching 101, it has a section on hatching shipped eggs. Good luck.
