⚠️ Important Shipping Note
Due to factors outside our control (shipping conditions, incubation environment, humidity/temperatures, etc.), we cannot guarantee hatch rates. However, we stand behind our birds and are always available to help with questions or concerns.

Storage
- Fertile eggs that will be incubated should be stored between 50-70 °F, pointed side down. If stored for more than 72 hours, they should be stored at an angle and rotated every 6-12 hours.
- After seven days from the date the eggs were laid, they will start to lose viability. Therefore, we recommend incubating eggs before seven days for the best hatch rate.
Incubation
We have had amazing success with the following incubation temp/humidity schedule.
- Day 1-14 - 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit with 35-45% humidity rotated every few hours.
- Day 14 (Lockdown) - 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit with 60-65% humidity.
