Disclaimer: Due to unknown shipping & incubation factors (temperature, humidity, x-ray, rough handling, etc.),we can\'t be responsible for the hatch rate.However, please don\'t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or issues. We monitor the tracking #\'s for every order and will reach out if we see an abnormal delay in transit (5+ days).Hatching eggs are checked every week by our breeders to ensure 95%+ fertility.
- Breeders are rotated out every 8-10 months.
- Every egg is candled before packing to ensure no peck holes or cracks. (tedious but worth it!)
- Fragile and hatching egg stickers are placed on the shipping box.
If you have ordered a mix set with Celadons included, please note that you will receive blue and standard-colored eggs. The female offspring from the Celadon blue eggs will lay true blue, and the rest of the lines in the order will lay standard beige-speckled colors.
We take great pride in providing top-notch customer service and know how important and exciting your hatching egg adventure is to you.
Incubation Recommendations
-Turn on the incubator and allow the temperature to stabilize to 99.5* F and between 35-45% humidity.
-Inspect your shipped eggs for cracks/damage. Do not put those in the incubator.
-Rest your shipped eggs for 12-24 hours pointy side down at room temperature before incubating.
-Set your eggs in the incubator, turning at least 4x per day
-Incubate for 14 days and check temperature and humidity often
-Move eggs into lockdown after 14 days. Remove egg turners and place eggs on hatching trays, preferably on a rough surface, so the chicks will not slip on plastics/foams.
-Increase humidity to 65%
-Around day 16-18, chicks will start hatching. Waiting 24-36 hours before removing chicks to avoid shrink-wrapping the remaining eggs.
Brooding Recommendations
-Prepare the brooder a day or so before the chick hatch.
-The temperature should be 85* F in the coldest part and ~105* F in the hottest section.
-Put room temp or warmer water and food near the heat source so the chicks can easily access them
-Feed should be 28-30% starter crumble for the first six weeks
-The temperature in the brooder can be lowered by 5*F per week
-After seven weeks, the feed can be switched to 16-22% layer protein
