My aviary birds are breeding successfully and the females are laying fertile eggs on a daily basis. I collect fresh eggs same day as laying, clean and fumigate them, then store them in a cool room in darkness. Fertile eggs can be stored for a maximum of eight-ten days before needing incubation, the shorter this period the better the hatching rate.

I will collect and store eggs to order, therefore there is a waiting time to ensure you will receive fresh eggs in the quantity you require. I do not post out eggs, it's collection only. On receipt of the eggs carefully store them in a cool dark place point end down for a minimum of 24-hours. This is to allow the eggs to settle and the air-sac to re-attach in the correct position. the eggs are now ready for incubation.

Incubate the eggs following the guide-lines on my information page. The result ? - beautiful chicks.

Please note that an anticipated hatch rate is around 80%, results are mainly governed by the art of correct incubation.
