I've tried that a number of times and it never comes up with anything. I have decided to get Minorca and DUCK eggs. Thank you all for your help in deciding what I was to get. it was so much easier when I broke it down.

What I'm looking for is your opinions.lol. But I have some Minorca's and WLH's around my way as well as Wyndottes (Gold & Sliver & blue, red) and Araucana's. But I can almost get any breed from shipping.
