Hatching Eggs

All our eggs have proven to be highly fertile and perfect for hatching in a domestic incubator or under a broody hen.

We have found over the last five years that the hatching rates have not been reduced after transportation through Royal Mail.

We do not segregate our ducks into breeding pens so we cannot offer a choice of specific colours.

Our eggs are selected for size and shape and stored at the optimum temperature until dispatched.

We try to ensure all our eggs are dispatched within 48 hours of laying.

Our self-imposed standards can sometimes lead to an order being delayed but as our discerning customers have to wait 28 days to view their purchase we do our best to increase the probability of hatching.

We naturally cannot guarantee that all the eggs are fertile but we test our eggs for fertility on a weekly basis. We also know from feedback that they have a high rate of fertility, leading to a good hatch rate - even after being sent via the post.
