Hatching Eggs Disclaimer:I do not guarantee hatch rates under ANY circumstances.
Too many incubating variables and shipping problems can occur.
I hatch these same eggs at least once a month to sell chicks; I know these eggs are fertile.
If an egg does not develop it may appear as infertile to the layman. If your eggs experience rough handling during shipment, the egg(s) will 'scramble' and will not develop.
Please be aware that the delivery date above is only an estimate. Be prepared to incubate your eggs 3 - 12 days after you make your purchase. I cannot give an exact date or day of the week your eggs will ship or arrive. Please realize hens lay better some days than others.

8 Light Sussex Chicken Hatching Eggs is what you are buying.
You will receive 6 eggs plus 2 extras in case of breakage and/or to improve hatch rate.
Eggs will weigh 2 ounces or more when shipped. Egg weight is extremely important if you want early maturing, large & fertile hens that lay large to extra large eggs. Ask your seller what their eggs weigh. It will take a year or more to recover from a flock of small hens. Most small hens will never lay good size eggs.
I have 3 roosters and 23 hens in this pen.
I replace my hens before they are 2.5 years old. Young hens have superior fertility.
Young hens & good hen to rooster ratio = excellent fertility and hatch rate. Other variables are uncontrollable.
Pullets will start laying in approximately 7 months.
Hens will lay hatching eggs in approximately 10 months.
Mature hens will weigh 5 - 7 pounds. Roosters will weigh 8 - 11 pounds.
Light Sussex are a very friendly and beautiful bird.
They free range well and do not stray too far from the coop.
From about week two they will meet you at the front of your brooder with playful curiosity.
Light Sussex were brought to England by the Romans.
The Light Sussex chicken could be identified as a distinct breed in Sussex County, England almost two hundred years ago.
The breed became standardized in 1903.
Breed a Rhode Island Red rooster to Light Sussex hens, t
he offspring will be sex linked.
Here is what repeat customer 'mari-boom' had to say about my eggs on 3-27-19:
Thanks so much! I've hatched some of your eggs before and they were healthy, friendly and robust birds! I have ordered eggs from others and yours, by far, had the best hatch rate.
bcbal_16 had this review: I got some of your eggs late spring early summer 2019...Well done I understand feedback is supposed to be based on packaging and status when received, which was all good. The birds are beautiful and quite calm. Hope to hit you up in 2020.
repo85 made a purchase on 10-11-19. She had this to say: I am not sure if you remember me or not but I am the buyer who couldn't find her eight eggs because the post office "hid them." I just wanted to let you know that six of the eight eggs hatched and the little fluff balls are super energetic! Six out of eight eggs hatching after the package was left outside for four days is a win in my book. I hope to purchase more eggs from you when the weather mellows out.

Some chicks offered by individuals, feed stores and hatcheries originated from extremely small hatching eggs. Which will result in small hens that will never lay good size eggs.
Purchase hatching eggs from a reputable seller that sells good size hatching eggs.
Always hatch and raise ALL your flock members. This will ensure proper care and development from day one.
I take the responsibility of selling you eggs VERY seriously. I will handle your eggs with utmost care. I hand carry egg orders to the local shipping office each afternoon.
Once you receive your tracking number use USPS.com or FedEx.com to track your package. Ebay has a poor estimation calculator and is never accurate.
If your eggs are damaged or lost it will be your responsibility to file a claim with USPS or FedEx. I will ship you fertile fresh eggs in a timely manner but my responsibility ends there. Do not hold me responsible for shipping/shippers problems. USPS includes insurance and FedEx includes 0 insurance with your shipment so please do not ask me to refund you for damages or replace delayed or lost eggs.
If it was feasible to hand deliver your order, I promise you would have a good hatch. Over the years I have had local sales that always hatch great. Including my own.
By purchasing this listing, you agree to hold me blameless in regards to poor hatch rates. You also agree that negative or neutral feedback regarding poor hatch rates and/or fertility will be reported to eBay for removal.
I would never sell an egg that I would not incubate myself.
Your eggs will be 1-3 days old when shipped.
My eggs are stored in a dedicated refrigerator set at 55-60 degrees with a maintained humidity of 70 percent. Texas A&M has a publication with these recommended settings for hatching egg storage. This will largely increase hatch rates. I turn my stored eggs by hand at least twice daily.
