How to start

[Aapomp831]

So I am planning on selling fertile hatching eggs from my RIR cocks / white leghorn pullets (both approximately 6 months old) so people can hatch their own red sex links.
Is there a particular method to preparing the eggs for sale? Do I store them in a particular way, and how soon after laying are they still able to be incubated?
Does anyone else do this, and can you explain to me your methods? And recommendations on how to price.
TIA

You treat the eggs the same way you would if you planned to incubate them.
Place them in an egg carton pointy end down. Store the egg carton some place cool but not cold. Around 55-65F is what I shoot for. My basement is my most stable cool location. Keep them at an angle. A few thickish books work. Switch which end is elevated once or twice a day.
Eggs are best set within a week. Longer then that and you risk fertility dropping. I personally would just sell the freshest collected eggs.

Right now I have eggs priced at $1 each. No one interested enough to drive out to me. I live out in the middle of nowhere. I may need to drop price, be willing to lose out by meeting up with buyers, or just hatch chicks.
The later is what I’m going with for now. Maybe someone cantell me if my price point is way off. Haha.

It’s also good practice to give more eggs then you priced them at.
Say you sell a dozen eggs, give them at least 15. It’s better to be generous then stingy.

Ok, thank you very much!
