Do you want young birds from your own eggs? We are happy to incubate your eggs using our
incubation service. We provide a full,
friendly service. We will incubate your
eggs in our Brinsea Octagon incubator, (an extremely efficient incubator). We candle eggs at 10 days and will keep you
informed of progress throughout incubation, and provide you with updates of
your eggs fertility rates and chick count on hatching so that you can make
adequate room for your new arrivals or move that cock that just isn’t doing his
job with the hens. You must provide
clean, fresh and properly collected, handled and stored eggs for
incubation. You must be able to pick up
your hatchlings within 48 hours of hatching.
If you do not pick up the chicks within 48 hours a ‘care fee’ will be
charged. Care of hatchlings until old
enough to turn out is available for a fee.
We do not guarantee hatch rates.
This means we do not guarantee that any of the eggs will hatch, however,
we will provide the best possible environment and conditions for incubation and
hatching. We charge a setting fee to set
any eggs regardless if they hatch or not.
For chickens, a setting fee
of 60c per egg. There is no minimum on
eggs set.
Partridge eggs 50c, quail eggs 50c, Peafowl
€1 per egg, duck eggs 80c.
Parrot eggs: you must contact for price on egg setting
fees. We will gladly incubate one egg if
need be.
Finally, all fees above include space, labour
and time for service provided. A
generator is on site in the event we lose power. The eggs are provided in an optimum condition
for hatching, but, as mother nature also charges taxes, hatch rates are not
guaranteed. Eggs may show fertility for
the first 2 weeks and then suddenly die.
Some eggs may even hatch and then die within the first 24 hours. We give our hatch rates at over 90%. This is for eggs that are fertile and not for
the total number of eggs that are first set.
