I'm Building an Incubator - please don't bother asking permission to laugh at me

Stop in on the incubating w friends thread, lots of enablers & bator experts there

Will do, does anyone know if you can still get duck hatching eggs in winter? From what I can see in the UK you cant but I'm not sure if you can get them shipped?

If you can find some for sale, some breeders might agree to put heat packs in with them... No reason why not...

From US to UK, I'm assuming theres no way they would survive the journey?

depends on the breed

I have been trying to get Cayuga's and Welsh Harlequins but everyone has stopped for the winter here now so I can't get any, look's like I'll have to wait until spring

They should survive the flight. Not sure about import/export law though.

Depends how many stops they make.... Hatch rate would be lowered, I think, and it would be expensive.... Very expensive!!

There might also be regulations on shipping eggs overseas
