Hatching eggs · NPIP certified
Silkie hatching eggs
We don't usually sell hatching eggs. Most of our eggs go into our own incubators, so we only offer a few dozen once in a while. That's why they cost more than typical hatching eggs, and why every dozen is packed by hand with extra care.
$250 / dozen + shipping
Plus UPS 2nd Day Air shipping and a $20 box fee per dozen. Checkout shows your exact shipping once you enter your address. See shipping estimates
Ships within 3 weeks, depending on how many eggs the ladies are laying. Full refund if we can't fill your order.

What to know about our eggs
Why they cost more
Selling hatching eggs isn't something we do often. Our eggs normally go toward our own hatches, so the few dozen we offer are a rare chance to get FancyFlock bloodlines. Every egg comes from our NPIP-certified flock, tested for Pullorum-Typhoid and avian influenza.
How we pack them
- Each egg is set in shipping foam or sliced pool-noodle foam.
- The foam is taped in place so eggs can't shift.
- Everything is packed tightly in the box with no room to rattle.
Shipping
We ship hatching eggs UPS 2nd Day Air only, so they spend as little time in transit as possible. Each dozen ships in its own box.
Shipping isn't included in the egg price. At checkout you'll see the UPS cost for your address plus a $20 box fee per dozen for the box, foam and packing.
When your order ships
Please allow up to 3 weeks for your eggs to ship. We collect fresh eggs for each order, so timing depends on how many eggs the ladies are laying.
If we can't fill your order, we'll refund you in full.
Hatch rates are not guaranteed
Even with careful packing, shipping is rough on eggs: bumps, temperature changes and handling along the way can affect them. Hatching also depends on your incubator and setup. Because so much is out of our hands once eggs leave the farm, we can't guarantee how many will hatch.

Tips
When your eggs arrive
- Open the box right away and check the eggs.
- Let them rest pointy end down at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours so the air cells can settle.
- Set them in a preheated, stable incubator. Silkie eggs usually hatch around day 21.
