Purchasing Eggs Or Stock

There is nothing nicer than watching eggs hatch out however finding fertile eggs may prove a bit of a problem.

 

The eggs that you buy in a shop or supermarket are infertile so cannot be used for incubation.

 

Fertile eggs can usually be obtained from hatcheries or poultry breeding farms - which can be found in the yellow pages or on Yell.com or if you live close to a community farm they may be able to advise you.

 

If possible, pick up the eggs yourself rather than have them posted to you. It is difficult for hatcheries, post offices, and transportation companies to handle small orders of eggs properly.
