i have 2 very good broody mothers and want to put under some fertile eggs, does anyone or now of anyone that has any for sale?

Ebay's a good source of fertile eggs. Have you sorted out keeping the broody separate, and what you will do with the chicks etc?

i have a seperate shed for the rhode island red broody hen and will keep the hens out of the chicks for the eggs, isnt ebay a bit of a risk tho due to the postage of the eggs

Apparently you need to keep them to one side for 24 hrs after they arrive and turn them several times before putting them under the broody. It sounds like quite a lot of people on this forum have had eggs through ebay with fairly good results. Never done it myself, just repeating the info I've picked up from here, I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
