Anybody have hatching eggs they'd like to send me for a small fee?

Having lost my last brood to the fox, but also having now moved to a more secure location I'd like to incubate another batch.

Not too fussed whether duck or hen to be honest as have had both.

Do any of you have hens running with a cock and a surplus of egg perchance?

TIA

I hatched mine from a batch of eggs from the local city farm. They cost £1 for 6 and are sold for eating, but when I explained what I wanted them for, they where happy to give me the freshest possible.
We only have a very small and basic incubator that will hold 3 eggs. All 3 eggs where fertile and developed, but only 1 hatched . We now have a 6 week old chick and are praying for a girl, so we can keep her!
Have you got somewhere like this near you, where you could buy some eggs? If not maybe I could get you some next time I go to the farm. They do duck eggs too I think.
