Common questions
Can I add individual eggs to the same order?
Yes. Individual eggs need at least 6 of their own and ship at the regular rate: $19.99 for 6–23 eggs, free on 24 or more.
When do the eggs ship?
Every Tuesday by USPS Priority Mail (usually 2–3 days). You choose your ship week on this page or in your cart, and free local pickup in Preston, MD is also available.
Are hatch rates guaranteed?
Hatch rates can't be guaranteed because shipping, incubator accuracy and incubation practices all affect results. Let shipped eggs rest pointy end down for 12–24 hours before setting them.
Incubation basics
Incubation basics
Rest first: Let shipped eggs sit pointy end down at room temperature for at least 12 hours so the air cells can settle.
Temperature and humidity: Hold 99.5°F and 45–55% humidity.
Turning: Turn eggs at least 3 times a day, or use an automatic turner, until day 18.
Candling: Candle at days 7 and 14 to check development.
Lockdown: At day 18, stop turning and raise humidity to 65–70%. Chicks usually hatch around day 21.
