That's how I got my lav orps. I found a breeder who was a 3 hr drive - but she conveniently lived near my niece. I was able to plan a day trip to visit family & we just happened to pick up some fancy orp eggs on the way home. Although we had to spend 6 hrs in the car that day, I did get 100% hatch rate! (The quality, size, & temperament of those orps blow all the others away. People always ask, "Is that a turkey?" when they see my 13lb English orp roo.)Are you going to drive to get the next batch of eggs or did you order chicks? Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip to me!
