Fertile Hatching Eggs

to collect your eggs please call to arrange a date and time, allow at least 4 days prior to pick up so that
your eggs can be collected

email for Pay Pal is info@riversideroost.co.uk
After your eggs have arrived it will help them to "rest" allowing them to settle
in a cool/ normal room temperature for 12 hours if using an incubator or 6 hours if using a broody, this will increase your
hatch rates
After the eggs have rested it is
important to sit them as soon as possible, the fresher the eggs the better your hatch rate will be. We can not be responsible
for eggs that are not sat within 48 hours of arrival
Ensure
your incubator is running consistently for at least 48 hours before starting your eggs off. It is unwise to have fluctuations
in the temperature and humidity when the eggs are in
We
run our Brinsea incubators at 37.7o C and run with 29/30% humidity
If using a broody hen, ensure that she has been moved to a quite
nest, away from the other chicken and is settled before placing your eggs for hatching under her. Do give her a couple of
spare eggs to keep her broody during this process until the "real" eggs are placed
Don't expect excellent results first time, it may take a few attempts before you and your
equipment are in tune. Broody hens know more than we do!
It
is not recommended to hatch water fowl and chicken eggs in the same incubator at the same time.
If you have an automatic turning incubator, please remember to switch this facility off 48
hours before the eggs are due to hatch.
By
keeping your birds in a large open space and giving them plenty of fresh grass will increase their health and fertility.
We will be only too happy to help and give advice
for any eggs we supply please just ask.
