Looking for reliable way to purchase an assortment of chick eggs

[mlassalle]

I am a classroom teacher looking for fertilized eggs for my incubator. I have been hatching eggs for over 6 years and I have a farm ready to take my chicks after they hatch. The lady who usually sends me eggs is sick and can't fulfill my order. I have seen a lot of bad reviews on several hatchery websites. I was wondering if yall have a recommendation.

Which breeds are you looking to hatch from the eggs? Meat production so they can go to slaughter, or egg production so they can be raised in a non-abuse farm? I am mentioning these because these types of chickens are the most common to see in classroom incubators.

Hatcheries such a cackle sells eggs, I'm not sure what type of reviews you're reading but that's the safest way. 2nds, ebay.

Welcome to BYC!

If you end up going with non NPIP certified eggs.. your local craigslist farm and garden section may be an excellent resource. Mine almost always is.

Happy hatching!

I second the Craigslist search[ what I've done], with maybe Facebook marketplace as another possibility. You'll get a much higher hatch rate if you buy eggs locally over having them shipped.

Local eggs from Craigslist/facebook

People tend to leave bad reviews for hatching eggs because they expect a super great hatch rate. Shipped eggs in general have a very poor hatch rate

I am looking for egg production chicks.

If you are looking for chicks that are strictly for egg production, I would suggest Leghorn. You can get Leghorn hatching eggs online if you search around different hatcheries and breeders.
