Ottofowl Fertile Eggs — Hatching Dozen

Yes — they come straight from our free-ranging flock, which runs with active roosters, so fertility is high when they leave us. Postage and your incubator setup then affect the final hatch, so rest them 24 hours before setting and give them a steady run.

Every egg is individually wrapped and cushioned in a sturdy box built to survive the trip, then posted Australia-wide with free shipping via Australia Post. We dispatch early in the week so your eggs aren't sitting in transit over a weekend.

Shipped hatching eggs are always a bit of a gamble — even a 50% hatch from posted eggs is a good result. Handle them gently, rest them before setting, and run a steady incubator. We can't promise a specific number, but we pack them to give you the best possible shot.

A mix — the Araucana genetics bring blue and green, alongside tinted and brown from the rest of the flock. Every dozen is a surprise.

Tough, alert, self-reliant birds in a mix of colours and types. They forage hard, roost high and read the sky for predators — clever survivors bred for a real farm, not lap chickens.

Live birds — chicks, pullets, cockerels, hens and roosters — are farm pickup at Woomargama in seasonal batches. Fertile eggs are the only thing we post. See the Ottofowl page and get on the list so you don't miss a drop.
