Ostrich Eggs are gathered daily, washed, sanitized and held at a constant temperature until time of shipment or pickup. We recommend that the ostrich eggs be held no longer than 10 days for maximum hatchability. It is equally important that the eggs be handled as little as possible, kept clean and placed in a sterile environment for hatching.

The incubator should be able to maintain a constant temperature of 97.5 degrees, with a rotation assembly and good air circulation.

Ostrich Hatching eggs can be shipped by Priority Mail or Express Mail when the temperatures are moderate.

Shipping charges are extra and the responsibility of the buyer.

Please Note--Ostrich are wild birds and need to be respected for their large size as adults and need an area to run.  They are not pets and should never be put in a smaller area among other birds or animals.  The large adult males can be very dangerous when protecting their eggs and hens.

Please do read all you can on raising the ostrich as this is not an easy task.  Quality dependable incubation equipment with professional dedication is required to be successful in hatching and raising the ostrich chicks.  And very strong fencing and shelter must be provided for the older chicks and adults for their safety and yours. 

The ostrich are awesome beautiful birds but raising them successfully requires a real commitment.  Our ostrich live happily in our nice facilities and have quality feed and shelters with good egg production.  We love our ostrich and they are a fun part of our beautiful farm here in sunny New Mexico USA.  I have raised these birds for 40+ years and would be happy to answer any questions.
