Ostrich Eggs For Sale
A single fresh Ostrich Eggs For Sale replaces about 24 large chicken eggs and weighs 3 to 4 pounds, making it the largest egg laid by any living bird (Struthio camelus). The yolk is creamy and slightly richer than a chicken egg, ideal for oversized omelets, baking, or a one-of-a-kind family meal.
We collect our eggs daily from hens raised on open pasture, which is why the shells stay thick, clean, and structurally sound for hatching. After 35 years around ratites, we can tell you a quality ostrich egg should feel dense, with no hairline cracks when candled, a detail most online sellers never check.
Crack one open at the breakfast table and watch the reaction, it feeds 8 to 10 people from a single shell. Hobbyists love the empty blown shells for painting, carving, and decor, while serious keepers buy our fertile eggs to hatch their own chicks at home.
Every fresh edible egg ships chilled, and every fertile egg ships in a custom foam crate built to survive transit. At All Wings Aviary, we hand-inspect each egg before it leaves the farm so you know exactly what you are getting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ostrich Eggs For Sale
Are Ostrich Eggs Safe To Eat?
Yes, ostrich eggs are completely safe to eat when fully cooked. They taste similar to chicken eggs but slightly richer and buttery. As with any egg, cook thoroughly to avoid foodborne illness, especially for children, older adults, or anyone with a weakened immune system.
How Many Chicken Eggs Does One Ostrich Egg Equal?
One ostrich egg equals roughly 24 large chicken eggs by volume. Each egg weighs 3 to 4 pounds and can feed 8 to 10 people, making it perfect for large omelets, family meals, or holiday baking.
How Long Do Fresh Ostrich Eggs Last?
Fresh edible ostrich eggs stay good for 2 to 3 weeks when refrigerated. Fertile hatching eggs should be incubated within 7 to 10 days of laying for the best hatch rate, while cleaned decorative shells last indefinitely.
How Do I Open And Cook An Ostrich Egg?
Drill a small hole at each end and blow the contents out, or saw off the top with a serrated knife. One egg scrambles into a giant omelet that serves 8 to 10 people. Cook over medium heat since the larger volume takes longer than a chicken egg.
Do You Ship Ostrich Eggs Safely Nationwide?
Yes, we ship ostrich eggs across the country with protective packaging. Edible eggs ship chilled, and fertile hatching eggs travel in custom foam crates designed to prevent breakage. Each egg is hand-inspected before it leaves the farm.

Even if you’re not hatching, these eggs are worth trying. We cracked ours into a bowl just to see it—the yolk alone was the size of a tennis ball! Used it in a frittata with veggies and cheese. Fed the whole household. Arrived quickly and packed like treasure. So cool to experience something this rare.

Used this egg for a hand-carved Easter ornament. The shell was thick, uniform, and easy to drill without cracking. Came clean and sanitized, ready to work with. Seller included a small guide on preparing empty shells—very thoughtful. Just wish the estimated ship date had been more accurate.

Ordered a fertile egg for backyard breeding. From the first email to post-hatch follow-up, the team was knowledgeable and supportive. The egg was clearly marked, stored correctly, and shipped overnight. Candled strong by Day 7. Hatched on day 43—healthy, alert chick. Highly recommend for serious buyers.

Bought as a gag-but-serious gift for my chef friend. He filmed himself cracking it open—it took two spoons and a mallet! Said the texture was creamier and more filling than regular eggs. Everyone laughed, everyone ate. Shipped fast and arrived perfectly protected. 10/10 would traumatize a kitchen again.
Olivia Simmons (verified owner) –
We placed the egg in our nature center’s “Giant Nests” exhibit. Visitors love being able to see and (carefully) touch such a massive egg. It’s durable, clean, and came with a small info card about ostrich reproduction—perfect for teaching. Just wish there was an option for a stand or base.

The egg itself was flawless—no damage, great size, and properly sealed. We used it for a decorative carving project and got tons of compliments. My only issue was that the shipping notification didn’t update for three days, and I was worried. Once it arrived, all was good—but a little more contact would’ve helped ease nerves.

After researching breeders, we chose All Wings Aviary for a fertile ostrich egg—and it paid off! The egg arrived in perfect condition, pre-candled, and with detailed incubation tips. After 42 days, we had a healthy male chick hatch. The breeder even checked in to see how we were doing. Incredible support and quality.
Carlos Rivera (verified owner) –
The egg was beautiful—smooth shell, no cracks, and clearly handled with care. We’re using it for an Easter display at church, and it looks amazing painted and lit up. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because it shipped later than expected and tracking updates were spotty. When it finally came, it was well-protected.

I’ve always wanted to try cooking an entire ostrich egg, so I bought one for my sister’s birthday brunch. One egg made enough scrambled eggs to feed our whole family. It tasted richer than chicken eggs, with a deep orange yolk. Took about 25 minutes to cook evenly. Fun, messy, and unforgettable!

We’re expanding our ostrich breeding program and sourced three fertile eggs from All Wings Aviary. All were viable, and two developed strong embryos. One successfully hatched after 45 days. The breeder provided helpful guidance throughout. If you’re serious about ostrich farming, this is a trustworthy source.

We ordered two ostrich eggs for our 5th-grade class unit on bird biology, and they were a total hit. The kids couldn’t believe how big they were—like dinosaur eggs! The egg arrived safely packed with foam and clear labeling. It was clean, intact, and perfect for hands-on learning. Thank you for supporting education!
