Whatever Happened to Eggbid?

[Araucana Nest]

Years ago, I purchased rare breed eggs from eggbid and had excellent hatches: chicken, turkey and quail. Way better than eBay has been lately. Whatever happened to eggbid? Is there any other reputable place where breeders sell?

I believe it folded years ago. I don't know the story but I know it hasn't been around for a while.
Perhaps you could start a new one.

They went under like 15 years ago. I think I heard that they sold the business to someone else and then it went down hill and closed down. Rarebreedauctions.com has rare breeds (not a lot right now since it is the off season). Greenfire farms sells their excess chicks on there as well.

LOL. It was such a good site. I got my first turkeys from there and my first quail. Always great hatches. EBay has been very "iffy". Sadly I'm not very technically oriented to do something like that but I sure believe people should have a place to meet serious breeders of their beloved breeds..

Thanks for the information. I'll check them out.

I know it's an old thread, but I'd love to hear more! I started Pips 'n Chicks Auctions (https://www.pipsnchicks.com/auctions) after issues with eBay, and a lot of people have been asking if it's the old EggBid. I wasn't around when EggBid was, but it sounds like a great site. Anyone have any information on the owners or people who ran it? I'd love to talk with them. Or if others have used it, what it was like and how it worked.
