Im really wanting some baby chickens and more chickens right now. Im considering buying some eggs? Is it safe to ship the eggs in cold weather with a heat pack? Is it a bad idea to incubate in the winter? Will my hatch rate go down?
Thanks

I'm just a newbie, but I've already heard some conflicting things about shipping eggs with heating packs... you don't want the egg to start developing during transit, if I understand correctly. It's better for the egg to be kept cool (but not actually freeze-I guess that's another concern), slowly rise to room temperature, and then begin to develop in the incubator. I'm sure some actual experienced hatchers can explain this better, though.Im really wanting some baby chickens and more chickens right now. Im considering buying some eggs?
