I know this is off the subject, but has anyone on here provided fertilized eggs to schools for hatching? We got asked for two dozen, the teachers have incubators already....was just curious about your experiences both good and bad. Also would you do it again and why or why not?

Thanks

I responded to an ad once. I offered to sell them for $5 a dozen, but said I was willing to negotiate (dirt cheap already in my opinion) if she could tell me what would happen after the chicks hatched. I never got a straight answer and she wanted 8 dozen. I wouldn't do it and it made me not want to do it in the future. I have to know the outcome after the hatch. Even if she was honest and said she had someone lined up to butcher already.
 
Realize that, depending on what class, some of the eggs are opened and studied at various times during incubation. 8 dozen eggs sounds like a dissection lab setting. The ones that hatch -- if allowed to -- hopefully go off to somebody's home...but that is a difficult call if it's a city setting for the school. They might end up in the science lab's snake's belly.

Frankly, though, once the eggs leave your hands you really have no say as to whether a person wants to hatch them or scramble them. Not every fertile egg makes it out alive. If you feel a responsibility to the egg's future, then don't sell to an educational setting.

I'm well aware they can do anything they want, but it was simple questions that couldn't be answered. I'm sure she found someone else as she felt my offer was too expensive.
