Whenever you want to buy from a seller, google their seller name and see what else comes up.  Sometimes I will find they have their eggs listed on several forums, all different prices.   Sometimes I find very negative feedback from BYC as well. 

Also, Efowl sells them but they are unavailable right now.  So you can sign up for them to email you when they have them again.

I always on ebay go check their feedback, find one that ordered the same eggs far enough back the hatch is over, and I email them from the link right there, and ask them how the hatch went.

The magpie guy I emailed got 4 broken eggs, but 5 eggs hatched, and one was a surprise tufted duck instead of a magpie.  LOL.  He said he'd order again though.

That's an eggcellent idea.  Hopefully I'm almost done with shipped eggs.  I almost have my complete flock.  (did I really say that?) LMBO.  

I'm going to try to get the last breeds I want from a hatchery so I can get them sexed.

Ha ha ha.  As soon as you have what you want, someone here will get you hooked on something else you'll just have to have.  When I came here, I was happy with my ducks, turkeys, and quail. 

now- gotta have black and white ducks that lay blue eggs, gotta have button quail, gotta have silkies, gotta have Old English Bantems, gotta have blue eggs........

 You sound like me. I am done chicken/duck/egg shopping after  I get some more call eggs. I mean it this time though, I think. I need some nice weather to get me outside away from my incubator and computer.

Just loaded my hatching Calendar with all of the goose eggs I already set. had to break down and do it or I was going to have eggs hatching in the turners.

Did you see the pics of my air cells?  It was awhile ago. LOL.  I'm glad the little one is content on the couch..... for now.

Exactly! Me too.  I have some cages to build, and some birds to focus on!  I'll probably still run this little LG to check for fertility and such, but the Cabinet needs to be worked on.
