Here you can choose your ostrich eggs, among our largest choice in Europe!
We sell "complete " eggs, that is, an intact egg except for the piercing hole; we also drill on demand a second hole to fix the egg on an axis, or we widen the hole if you want to transform the egg into a lamp or if you want to use the ostrich egg as a vase; if you want to use the ostrich egg in a candy box or a giant cocktail glass, that is also possible! just ask us!
-----------------------
How much for an ostrich egg?
Our ostrich eggs are graded by size, surface quality and drilling precision.
Quite logically, the price is higher when the egg is large, without default than small and with streaks!
1/ Eggs of uniform color, with categories of relief defects:
2/ Eggs with defects of color, with perfect surface: price from 22.50 euros:
Pour ces oeufs, vous trouverez un large choix de socles et supports ici!

« Egg treatment and dyeing »:
By default, our eggs are treated with bleach, which allows the internal membrane to be removed, but hinders the dye taking. You must contact us in advance to find out if we have any eggs treated for dyeing in stock.
“Drilling precision”:
Our ostrich egg breeders have many qualities, but, with some exceptions, all have the same fault...
that of not piercing the ostrich eggs in a well-centered way to empty them!
That is to say that the hole made at the base of the egg measures between 8 and 16mm, and that the entire hole is included in a circle with a diameter of up to 48mm.
This is what we call "standard" drilling.
Is this a problem? Is this hole going to be visible when you place this egg on a base? a display?
No, don't worry, a base for an ostrich egg must be at least 60mm for the egg to be stable, the drilling hole will therefore never be visible!
Only one exception... if you present it lying on its side, or with the wide base upwards, this hole will be more visible...
This is why we have created a more severe category on drilling, with the hole included in a circle with a diameter of up to 25mm.
This is what we call "centered" drilling.
Finally, if you want to attach the egg to a stem, then the egg hole must be of the right diameter and very well centered,
otherwise your ostrich egg will compete with the Tower of Pisa! and, it will not be stable, tending to rotate as soon as you move it.
Also, we select or drill ourselves some of the eggs so that the hole is included in a circle of 12mm in diameter.
This is what we call "specific" drilling. We have very few in stock, contact us if you want to order several!
You can also request a personalized drilling: above, below, 1 or 2 cm wide, contact us to find out what is possible!
If you are searching for an egg of a specific specie, don't hesitate, contact us!
