I what my eggs to de non-fertile when I sell them.

Wash them and refrigerate just above freezing with the small end up for a few days. And don't handle them too gently. Don't know if it will completely knock out hatchability on every one, but it sure couldn't help!
I wouldn't freeze them, or you might get complaints on the quality/texture.

Put in the incubator and heat to 110 for 24 hours maybe. Then refrigerate.

Ya know that's not a bad Idea, just giv'em a good shake. That ought to do it.

But what if their children want dippy eggs for breakfast?

I think you can give them a good shake that will "scramble" them without breaking the yolk. I mean, I've received shipped eggs that were fertile, had no ruptures of the yolk or membrane, but never developed because they were "scrambled" in the mail. It's got to be your best bet. And if you accidentally break a few yolks, then the little brats will have to go without dippy eggs - it wouldn't be the end of the world.

NO NO NO all you nice people. LOL

It's what CoopCrazy said. I don't want them to have my line. I need my roo because I want to hatch more myself and I only have one place for them all. Other wise I would move some so they were not with the roo'

All a PA Certified and Licensed Poultry Technician is is someone who can come to your home and take blood from your birds, send it in to the lab.

I think that was Koolducks mom smacking her. LOl

Well....last time I try to defend anyone here! That just sounded really nasty to me and since I didn't know what a PA cert etc...did, I thought I'd point out the tone.

from here on out. You are all on your own! LOL

You can't leave us hanging there, please what happened?

A friend was taking my extras to sell where he worked. He has a few hens, but more people wanted eggs than he had eggs for. Anyhoo......I was putting a few Marans eggs in when I wasn't hatching them or didn't have enough to sell and he found out a lady who worked there and had chickens was pulling the Marans eggs out and hatching them....or at least trying to. I'm not sure how much success she had since I treat my eating eggs different than potential hatching eggs. I know she did hatch out a few.....I hope they were all roos!!

When he found out what she was doing he told me about it and I quit putting any Marans eggs in. She didn't buy anymore eating eggs.

Thank you for your answer, I guess I'll only sell to people who I know will not hatch them.

What about an oil coating?

I like this idea. Also keep them about a week before selling.
(supposedly store eggs are a month old or more when they're sold. A week certainly couldn't hurt!)
