Buy fertile Magpie duck hatching eggs online
At Game Fowls Ranch, our Magpie breeding flocks are maintained in optimal male-to-female ratios to ensure high fertility rates. Our breeder ducks are selectively line-bred for distinct pattern definition—featuring a clean cap on the head and a distinct saddle marking over the back and tail against a bright white background—along with robust stamina and high egg counts. Magpie ducks are superb, active foragers that naturally keep garden pests and insects at bay while producing 220 to 290 large eggs per year.
Every hatching egg is hand-selected and inspected prior to packing:
-
Freshness Guaranteed: Collected daily from clean nesting boxes and stored in temperature-controlled rooms ($55^\circ\text{F}$–$60^\circ\text{F}$) to preserve embryo viability.
-
Shell Quality & Size: Only clean, strong-shelled, correctly shape-graded eggs with optimal air cells are selected for shipping.
-
Specialized Packaging: Eggs are carefully secured in custom-cut, high-density foam shippers or double-boxed egg cartons wrapped in shock-absorbing bubble padding to withstand transit handling.

Eggs should be turned 3 to 5 times daily until lockdown.
