One Dozen Fertilised Eggs – Black Sumatra
Experience the thrill of hatching your own Black Sumatra chicks! Black Sumatras are hardy, active birds that thrive when given space to free-range, making them a fascinating and eye-catching addition to any flock.
Each dozen fertilised eggs is carefully packaged in an egg-safe Eggspress foam carton and securely boxed for shipping. We send all orders via Express Post on Mondays to ensure maximum freshness and the best possible chance of success.
Please note that, as with many rare breeds, Black Sumatra eggs can be more sensitive to transport and incubation conditions, and hatch rates are often lower than those of common farmyard breeds. By ordering, you acknowledge and accept this as part of the condition of sale.
Hatching Your Eggs
Watching your chicks emerge is one of the most rewarding parts of poultry keeping. To give your eggs the best chance, we recommend using a quality incubator and following the guidelines below:
Incubator Settings
- Temperature: 37.8°C for the first 18 days, reducing to 37.4°C for the final days
- Humidity: 40-45% for the initial 18 days, with an increase during lockdown to 50-60% to support hatching
- Lockdown: On day 18, avoid opening the incubator and allow the natural hatching process to occur. Opening the incubator can affect your hatch rate
