I was on e-bay last week looking at the hatching egg selection. I was most interested in Marans and Welsummers because I've come to the conclusion that my lone Welsummer hen may NEVER lay an egg!
Last summer I purchased 6 Welsummer eggs (from e-bay) and I paid around $20 for them. There were several bids open for 6 Maran eggs and some of the bids were already into the mid $50 range, plus shipping! I thought this may be a little extreme, especially considering that there is no guarantee that they will hatch.
This leads me to the question - what is the most you have paid for hatching eggs? ($ amount, quantity, breed) Is it normal for some people to pay an average of $10+ for each egg???
Thanks!
