I have ordered Easter Eggers from Cackle Hatchery and they are the mosty hardy birds I have. I only lost one and they gave me 4 extra out of the 50 I ordered. Any chicks we hatched from them never died either.
I have been raising gosslings for 3 years now and my son is going to be showing them at the fair this fall. The advice in this article is great and even quotes a great source!
