So we built one.
HatchingEggs.store was built by poultry enthusiasts who were tired of the same frustrations every breeder faces: paying eBay nearly 20% in fees on every sale, getting listings removed from Facebook groups, and having no dedicated place for the hatching egg community to thrive.
We are the first dedicated USA marketplace for hatching eggs — chickens, guinea fowl, turkeys, ducks, quail, peacocks, and more. We're building the tools that breeders actually need: fair fees, real certification badges, in-app messaging, and a community that celebrates this hobby.
Our platform fee is 10% — roughly half of eBay's fees. And we're always working to bring that down further for trusted, high-volume sellers.
eBay charges ~20% in fees. We charge 10% — and admin can negotiate even lower rates for high-volume breeders.
NPIP certification, APA membership, and show-quality badges are displayed on every listing. Buyers know exactly what they're getting.
Buyers and sellers talk directly in-app — no email, no Facebook DMs. All your conversations in one safe place.
We're not a general marketplace that also happens to allow hatching eggs. This is all we do. Our entire platform is optimized for this community.
