Hackness Hatchery - where the adventure of life begins!
Located in the scenic North York Moors National Park, on the outskirts of Scarborough, Hackness Hatchery is the proud home of dozens of rare breed poultry groups, supplying hatching eggs throughout the UK and now overseas. We began our mission in 2021, dedicated to preserving endangered breeds and supporting poultry keepers of all experience levels with quality products and expert-led guidance.
Trusted and chosen by hundreds of customers across eBay and Facebook, we now stock a variety of rare breed chickens as well as quails and turkeys. We believe in offering each bird the space and care it needs to thrive, which is why our flocks are raised outside and in the natural surroundings they expect! By giving them the best start, we increase your chance of success.
Our hatching eggs
Embark on the rewarding journey of incubating and hatching your own chickens with our hatching eggs, now typically sold in boxes of 3, 6, 9 and 12 - although we're happy to supply custom quantities, as well as cater for much larger orders where required. Our beautiful breeds, including Orpingtons, Silkies, Auracanas and Cream Legbars, offer you the perfect start, all with exceptional fertility rates and great stock health.
The first step to a livelier, cluckier back garden!
There’s nothing quite like watching life begin. And Hackness Hatchery offers the opportunity for you and your family to experience the joy for yourselves. Our fertile, hand-collected hatching eggs are carefully selected, packed in our reliable poly boxes, and shipped nationwide, often with less than 48 hours between the collection of eggs and their arrival at your front door, all delivered with safety and love.
Let your kids marvel as tiny beaks break through their shells, and teach responsibility, patience, and biology in the most heartwarming way possible. Whether you’re incubating for education, fun, or future egg-layers, you can be sure you're starting something truly special with us.
