What hatchery? That sounds pretty high. Unless the birds are incredible quality.
Chick A Dee hatchery. I’ve been looking at hatcheries in my state because if I’m going to pay for hatching eggs I don’t want to have to worry over them getting damaged in the mail.
Oh. Well, hatching eggs getting shipped from anywhere will almost definitely get damaged to some extent in the mail. Even driving to pick up the eggs yourself, you risk getting detached air cells. If the eggs are packaged well, they should be ok. I'd look for somewhere near by (within a few states' radius or so) with cheap eggs and try those. You don't want to spend so much on eggs of very common breeds just because they're in your state. I don't mind getting eggs from further away as long as they're reasonably priced. I would never get eggs that were more than $60 even if they were in the same state.
Yes I certainly don’t want to pay that much for eggs. I could just get day olds from cackle again for that much.
I think that this is ridiculous, as neither BO's nor RIR's are a rare breeds and the quality of hatchery breeds has room for improvement, to say the least.
What might that be, an ostrich egg?
Ayam Ketwa. Laughing chicken
Well, a friend of mine has them. They were quite expensive when she bought them, but would never ask for 30 per egg.
