Good luck - i've just had 2 ducklings hatch out and am waiting on a dozen more.

The little ducklings are just the cutest things!

omg thats a lot of money... will just borrow my dads incubator i think and get eggs off ebay cost about £12 for 6-12 eggs depend on breed

but incubators are about £60 on ebay but like you said you not keeping them so its better for you.

it's all helping towards keeping my tax bill down

oh wow, this is really fantastic!!! I didn't even know we could do this! How much does it all cost and what do you do with the chicks once they've hatched (I take it you don't keep them all, do you??) I would LOVE to do this!!! How do I go about it - is it too late now though????

Sorry for all the questions!

[Hebs]

go to

www.livingeggs.co.uk

i got a good discount from my local rep as i'm the first childminder to use the company (well up here anyway)

You can keep the chicks at the end if you wish otherwise they go to a local free range farm

actually it depends on the area you're in. I could come under 2 areas (live in one postcode area, registeed for CM in another)

the one I'm registered in is actually more expensive at ..

£250 for 1st kit
£225 for each additional kit

so it seem like whoever provides you with the kits charges their own amount. guess each one would offer a different level of discount too?

you need to go to bookings, then select your area, then the details come up.
