Hatching aracana eggs from california

[Barry42001]

This is not an auction: 40 True Araucana Hatching Eggs for sale for $75 plus $20 shipping and handling for domestic shipments only. International shipping charges would be closer to $100 for Express shipping and will be calculated when an international offer is made. These are Edd Sheppard strain of Araucanas. Eggs are shipped Priority Mail with tracking for domestic orders. Due to potential handling or mishandling trauma during shipping, there are no guarantees as to the hatching success. Average reported hatch rate is 10 to 20% for shipped eggs. Eggs will be shades of blues and greens. I only ship eggs that are 1 to 2 days out of the nest, nothing older than that. I attached photos of the eggs where I tried different types of light, but they didn't really show the colors well. Eggs will be from a mixture of white, silver duckwing, golden duckwing , black-breasted reds, reds, spotted variety and buffs. Also included are eggs from a hybrid show strain of blacks that are not of our stock originally. Eggs could hatch out any variety of traits such as tufted or clean faced, mostly tailless, yellow, green or black legs. None are bearded. The varieties are endless with these birds. Good luck with hatching and enjoy these awesome birds!
Getting 40 eggs need to know how long a "rest" period before starting incubation enclosed the write up on the eggs in eBay.

Hi.

Are you NPIP certified? And are any of your colors pure for their variety... or all ran together? Is it even legal to ship eggs internationally?

Lol I am receiving the eggs, I showed the eBay wrote up ..the question was settling time not a pitch to sell and wall California is a different kind of place to the best of my knowledge it still resides within the United States. The accreditation of the person I'm buying from I cannot be certain you see the advertisement call them yourself if you have any issues

Well since apparently no one on this site is knowledgeable enough , or simply won't answer a question I thought was rather important I will seek the answer elsewhere. The eggs arrive today from Cottonwood Ca, here in Gainesville Florida .

I completely misunderstood your post... I thought you were trying to sell eggs, I didn't realize you are trying to incubate them after shipping!

That's different...

I hope your eggs arrive safe!

Have you checked out this article...
https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/hatching-eggs-101.64195/

It has tons of useful information and a section specifically on hatching shipped eggs.

Hope THIS is more helpful to you!

Shipped eggs need to be left to warm to room temperature
& need to settle B4 adding to the incubator!
This "settle" time will vary depending on the age of the eggs, DO NOT TURN THEM!!
if the air cells are large they are already getting old! Most shipped eggs are getting old!
Settle 6 hours and then set (begin incubation) if they are getting old and have large air cells. But continue to read below for Rolling, Ruptured, Jiggly Air cell info!
If Eggs are FRESH you can settle for 12-24 hours.
REMINDER~ Never Set COLD eggs in the incubator.

EGGS WILL NEED DIFFERENT TREATMENTS Should YOU have BAD AIR CELLS......

You will get varied answers on that question....most recommend 8 to 24 hrs. You just have to hope they were handled with care, no telling with the postal service if the American tourister gorilla got a hold of your package no amount of rest time will save them. True Aracauna eggs can have a lower hatch rate then most eggs even when not shipped. I have had pretty good luck with shipped eggs, most time I don't bother with waiting as my eggs sit upright large end up in an egg rack I start incubator and don't start turning the eggs until day 3. It has worked repeatedly for me but may not be a good idea if your eggs lay on there side in your incubator in that case you may want to give them time large end up so aircell can hopefully get itself together...good luck

All 42 eggs started incubating few eggs air cell was not discernable, lol being almost oval in shape made finding the "fat" end almost impossible but done and started next phase. Thank you all for your help and information
