San Diego CA--Need Advice on Where I might possibly find local fertile eggs ASAP

[mattfulleroc]

I know it is a long shot on such short notice but I finally was able to get my incubator to hold the temperature late last night...I had signed up for the BYC NYD Hatch-Along but didn't think I was going to get the incubator regulated but by some miracle I finally lucked out...I would need to set them tomorrow at noon. Does anyone know of someone who might have some eggs which I could purchase? I posted in the wanted section and I am watching Craig's list but I don't know anyone in San Diego yet because this is my first attempt at hatching. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know. Thanks! matt

In clutch, you can get fertile hatching eggs for Trader Joes. Either have them hold some for you from the delivery(often on Tuesday so that would be perfect for the NYD Hatch) or search the display for the ones with the longest sell my date.

Good luck with the NYD Hatch!

maybe you can ask this seller if he can sell you some OE or Serama eggs before he sells the parents: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/grd/3452362738.html

My goodness! Thank you for the information! There is a Trader Joe's in Hillcrest about a mile down the street.

Thank you so much for the advice about Trader Joes! I am subscribed to the thread for TJ but hadn't read far enough to know whether the people setting the eggs were having any luck but there is a TJs about a mile from here so I will check it out tomorrow morning. Thanks!

All my chicken eggs are fertile, I will give you some in exchange for some chicks. They are mixed breeds. But I am in north county... can meet.

going to go to TJs in a few hours when they first open..am hoping to hear back from Gail and get some of her eggs in Chula Vista because she has really nice looking birds.

I need to start this hach at noon because of the contest but I would love to hatch some with you on the next go-round. I don't think I would have time to make it up there and back befire noon Im afraid.
