Good evening,
I have a friend wanting me to incubate a full batch of eggs (24 dozen), what is the "going rates"🤔 do anyone know or have an idea?

I have seen 1$ per egg for chicken eggs....2$ per egg for ducks and 2.50 for geese. Personally i charge 1$ in for chicken plus 50 cents per chick out for chicken because i will house 1-2 days before pickup. Hope this helps

I've heard of $1.50-$2 for every egg in and another $1-$1.25 for every chick that hatched, that just seems crazy expensive to me, I know it is greatly dependent on the location, I was thinking of 1.25 in and .75 out

sounds reasonable quite honestly. for ducks the one year i did 2$ in and 1$ out because i had too many people wanting hatching! i ran that incubator full straight for 3 months....and not a single egg of my own flock!

SOunds very fair. The reason Millpond is so cheap is that they do custom hatches along with the thousands they routinely hatch. You are offering a custom service to this person.

Speaking of millpond, I talked to Wilf yesterday and he said the first hatch date is april 5th, they need eggs to them by noon on march 14th so they can be trayed before going in the incubators, I will be going on the 13th if anyone wants me to pick eggs up!
