Your Guide to Hatching Success with Australorp Eggs

Hatching eggs is an incredibly rewarding experience. To ensure your success, we follow best practices from nest to shipment.

From Our Pasture to Your Incubator

We collect our Black Australorp eggs multiple times daily to protect them from the elements. After collection, we carefully clean and candle each egg to check for shell integrity and fertility. Finally, we package them in specially designed, secure shipping boxes with proven insulating materials to protect their viability during transit.

Maximizing Your Hatch Rate

For the best results, we recommend setting your eggs in the incubator as soon as possible after arrival. Firstly, always let the eggs rest pointy-end down for at least 12 hours before incubation. Secondly, maintain strict temperature and humidity levels in your incubator according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Consistency is the key to a successful hatch! Remember, you can find all the necessary equipment to get started in our hatching supplies shop.
