Hatchery with the "Best" Saipan Jungle Fowl?? PLEASE READ!!

[troyer]

Here is one that I still have. I bought eggs from a breeder in 2013 and hatched only this one, that said they had them for several years.

Are these Saipan jungle fowl hens?

These ladies look like a O Shamo's

I know you mentioned your situation with breeders, and you're looking for the best hatchery Saipans, but I must ask, have you considered ordering hatching eggs? They're relatively cheap especially compared to ordering chicks, and although most gamefowl breeders don't do eggs, the ones who do usually have excellent fertility in their eggs. I don't have Saipans, instead I have O-Shamos, but I do offer, like others out there, very nice hatching eggs when the girls are laying.


Course, if you don't have and don't want to purchase an incubator or broody hen, I understand.

That’s a good suggestion, but people need to realize when ordering eggs through the mail USPS FedEx UPS you take a big chance because even if the eggs are fertile, you will not get a good hatch rate if you get any to hatch, I have been this route and out of about 40 eggs I may have got ten to hatch now when I hatch my chicken eggs from home I have anywhere from a 90% to a 100% hat rate to put it bluntly USPS UPS and FedEx do not handle packages lightly especially when marked fragile and if you do go this way, take your eggs pointy side down in an egg carton for at least 24 hours before putting them in an incubator
