The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[mychickenosa]

You could do that but bear in mind that an egg's fertility decreases after ten days of age and it has less of a chance of hatching. With only one hen the very maximum amount of eggs you would be able to send at a time would be five, because that would make the oldest egg five days old at the time it was sent plus up to four days of shipping (priority mail takes 1-4 days to arrive) plus one day of sitting when it arrives to make it ten days old when it goes into the incubator. Even then that would be pushing it and most people would prefer fresher eggs. And that of course is only if you do get an egg a day every day for five days - hens usually take a break from laying so the chances are unless you have a high production breed that won't happen. Hope this explanation makes sense

oh okay well if i put it in the incubator until the rest where ready i guess that won't work would it

I'm not sure if you mean start incubating them but no, you can't start incubating an egg and then ship it.

ok well what if I sent only three?

You could but I'm not sure it would be worth it to people to pay the shipping for only three eggs. Also we should probably take this conversation to the chat thread so as not to clutter this thread up

Are you limited to 2 chickens where you live? Why not buy another hen? maybe a different colored hen of the same variety? http://www.breedbook.org/?action=geneticscalculator&tab=CHICKEN

Just attach hook wires to the eggs with scotch tape and label the box
'Fragile, glass Christmas ornaments'.
