I like using the 2L bottle method, but dish hatcheries work well, too. I would suggest buying online from http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com ...they have the best eggs, great prices, and good hatcheries.

I get all my eggs off aquabid and use a DIY hatchery. Been working great for over 1 1/2yrs. Here's a few links to how to build on your self.

If he/she's wanting to fed long term to them. He/she'll be better off getting 1pd can of shrimp eggs. I get 1[d can for $14.99 and I make up 20grams at a mix and fed that over a 2 day period to 12 tanks. It'll last me for 6 if not more months.
