Where can I get hatching eggs?

[Ilovemychicks08]

I am looking for places I can get hatching eggs for next year. I am just looking right now. The breeds that I want are Blue laced red Wyandotte, or Silkies. Does anyone know of a place I can get them?

EBay and a lot of online hatcheries

I have found the Meyer hatchery does it. Will they be okay being shipped from Ohio to Wisconsin

Possibly. Shipped eggs are *ALWAYS* a risk. Plus I've noticed the commercial hatcheries like Meyers will sell eggs far more expensive than chicks, not to mention you're usually lucky to get 50% to hatch. Often by the time you hatch eggs from a commercial hetchery, you've paid 3 or 4 times the price of a chick

Have you looked locally? I see lots of people selling all kinds of hatching eggs on Craigslist.

I haven’t, but I certainly will
