Hi im doing a chicken project for my school and i need help deciding on should i order online or should i buy from a farmer near by and if i buy from a farmer how can i keep it warm till i get it home into the incubator?


THANK YOU!!!

Umm, I'd buy from the farmer if you know a good one near you. Otherwise I'd buy from a hatchery. They do good service at Murray McMurray!

Buying locally is always better. Eggs don't have to stay warm till you put them in an incubator. Just don't let them freeze.

In the wild, chickens gather eggs for several days before they stop laying and start setting on them. They won't even start developing til you put them in the 'bator.

Shipping is rough on eggs, tends to "scramble" them.

A local source of hatching eggs is the best choice.

Good luck with the hatch.
