Hatching

[heathersolis]

Hey everyone I'm just wondering what places you would reccomend to get hatching eggs from, I placed an order with gabbard farms a few months ago and have emailed them multiple times to see when my shipment will arrive and have gotten no responses from them so I'm canceling my order and looking for another place to get hatching eggs?!!

Have you asked on your state's thread? Have you gone to the Buy-sell-trade/hatching eggs forum/auction? If I was looking to buy eggs, I'd start there, and review the feed back on the sellers before ordering any eggs. What kind of eggs do you want to hatch? If I was just trying an incubator for the first time, I'd look for local eggs, and be happy with barnyard mix eggs. You might even try the local farmer's markets, as a lot of folks selling eggs at the markets would have fertile eggs. You could ask the seller if they have a rooster in their flock, and how many hens they have in relation to the rooster(s) If buying from a farmer's market, I'm guessing that the "mixed" eggs (multi-color in the same carton) would be more likely to be fertile. If you live in a rural area, look for neighbors in the same town who have a sign out to sell eggs, and ask if their eggs are fertile.
