Ringed Teal Hatching Eggs
The Ringed Teal is one of the smallest species of duck, with bright, beautiful plumage, which they keep year round. The bill is blue, and the legs pink. Ringed Teals have a black crown and green secondary feathers that are visible while they are in flight. On average, they will grow to 14-15 inches in length and a weight of 11 - 12 ounces.
Waterfowl collectors report that Ringed Teals do well in mixed collections, but may be bullied by more aggressive species. Their expected lifespan in captivity is 10-15 years.
This breed is becoming increasingly popular because it breeds well and because it remains colorful year round. Ringed Teals do form a strong pair bond, but not necessarily for life. Somewhat unusually, male and female Ringed Teals have different calls.
-Hatching Egg Guarantee-
We take measures to securely pack the eggs, aiming for their safe arrival at your location. In the unfortunate event that your hatching eggs arrive broken, please contact us on the day of delivery and provide photos or videos of the damage. We will either issue a refund or ship you a new parcel of hatching eggs.
Even with proven fertility and careful monitoring, no hatch is ever guaranteed. Too many factors exist that can affect an eggs viability. For this reason, we do not guarantee hatch rates. By ordering hatching eggs from us, you accept this responsibility. We do not give refunds on eggs because of hatch rates under any circumstances. Please see our FAQ page for further information on our policy, terms and conditions. Happy Hatching!

-Shipping-
The shipping fee is fixed at $22 across the U.S., irrespective of location. Hatching eggs are dispatched in the order of purchase, following a first-come, first-serve approach, ensuring fairness in the shipping process. However, if you wish to purchase multiple breeds, additional shipping charges will apply to each different breed. Additionally, each breed will be shipped at different times to accommodate their specific laying schedules.
Hatching eggs are dispatched via USPS Priority Mail throughout the week. Once your hatching eggs have been shipped, you will receive an email from us containing your tracking number.
Although we typically encounter positive outcomes with USPS, we avoid labeling packages as "fragile" or requesting special handling. Our past experiences have shown that such markings can result in rough treatment of the parcel. If you have specific preferences for markings like "fragile" or "hatching eggs," or if you would like us to coordinate the holding of your package at the Post Office, please kindly email us with your requests.
Given the numerous variables influencing success or failure during incubation, we are unable to offer any guarantees regarding hatch rate or development.
- Estimated Egg Lay Date -
The estimated lay date for these hatching eggs is usually around mid to late June. Please realize this is our "best guess" as many factors such as inclement weather, stressors, and various other factors can affect the laying pattern of our birds.
