I mean 10-12 eggs to each hen depending on her size. The dark Brahma brooding can handle more than a blue Australorp hen. I have six Blue hens and three decide to brood at same time. They are the next in line to get their own coup so their eggs can be hatched as self Blue Australorps.I just put a dozen +or- to 3 brooding hens today. EE eggs of my own stock. Have 41 of same EE eggs to hatch in a week from incubator. Gona get real busy soon. My question is this. Has anyone here ordered eggs from a poultry farm and how was the Shipping handling? Reason I ask, two days ago my box of 300 egg cartons came in delivered by UPS. I was setting in den, icing my new knees, and heard a huge thud on front porch. No problem right it’s cartons. But the only thing written on this box was the words EGGS! And he drops it harshly onto concrete and with a small end down obviously not upright the way it should have been. There are some breeds I would like to work with but eggs can be much more affordable if they arrive intact. Help?
