Our Pekin hatching eggs are now available to buy - order online for next working day dispatch - you will soon be hatching your own pekin chicken hatching eggs.
We’ve been posting fertile eggs for many seasons, and every parcel is packed with real care: eggs are cushioned inside polystyrene egg boxes, placed within strong cardboard outers, and sent via tracked UK delivery. Local collection is also available and usually gives the very best hatch success. Fertility usually averages around 80%, and posted hatch rates of about 50% are completely normal for transported eggs.
If you want a little extra confidence, you can add a printed or digital Hatching Egg Guide to your order — a practical, friendly reference covering humidity, turning schedules, candling tips, and brooder setup. A quick breeder’s note while you’re here: once your eggs arrive, let them rest for 24 hours before incubating so the air cells can settle properly after travel.
Weekly quantities are limited to ensure good rotation from our Pekin hens, so early bookings are always prioritised. If you’re browsing for mixed hatches, we also keep other breeds from time to time — including Silkie, Orpington, and Brahma — depending on the hatching egg availability.
Why Choose Pekin Chickens?
Pekins are delightful, compact bantams known for their sweet temperament, feathered feet, and charming round shape. They’re ideal for gardens and family-friendly flocks, laying a tidy number of small cream eggs and integrating well with other breeds. Their calm nature and manageable size make them wonderful birds to raise from chicks, especially for beginners or those with limited space.
