Yes, you are lucky... There are actually a lot of people who are able to sell eggs to various people... But I've never been able to.. I've tried CL for both eating eggs and hatching eggs and I've put auctions on here for hatching eggs... I have several different breeds so the chicks would be mutts so I know I can't get a lot for hatching eggs but I think between $.50-$100 per egg is reasonable for hatching... Maybe I'm wrong??

Don't you think $100 dollars is a little too much for an egg? ROLF -

I know you meant's $1.00 but you forgot to put the . in!!!​

I have 8 buttons (

) hatching tomorrow. Keep your

for my hatch!

I candled my 11 chicken eggs, my EE and my Blue 'Andy egg are alive. The other 9 eggs have only been in the 'bator for 3 days so couldn't tell on them.

I haven't sold for hatching yet, but all of the ones I sell are fertile. I am only getting 3.50 a dozen to customers and 2.50 to the store. It pays for a little chicken food. I'm hoping this year to pick up production and sell enough to pay their feed bill. that's the goal! If the BCMs are nice layers then this fall I may sell some of those for hatching too.
Right now I just pray I can hatch them!!

ok.. I got it done... I had to use an image but I finally listed everyone that has joined us and when we are set to hatch... I put it on the first post of this topic so we can keep up with everyone...

I candle my eggs. All of them are brown and it is really hard to tell anything. When should I be able to see something?

That depends on how dark the eggs are... Not sure what kind of light you are using but a small LED mag light works really well... Regular flashlight bulbs are not strong enough to go through most eggs... If they are really dark like BCM's, you probably won't be able to see through them at all... I have some EE eggs that I will not be able to see through at any point so I will just need to keep a closer eye on those to make sure they aren't weeping...

I have a flashlight that is 135 lumins. It is really bright.

If you are able to see in the eggs, i would definitely give it a few more days... We are only one day 4 so you may see something in some of them but not all... I will be candling mine on Monday (day 10)...
