nope, not at all, just ask @minihorse927
  

Is it weird to travel 4 hours to pick up some BCM hatching eggs??? (Oh, I'm combining it with a visit to family, but really...)

Nope, I've got someone coming 5 to get Swedish flower eggs and then I drove 3 hrs one way to get geese

What kind of a weirdo would travel 5 hours just for some eggs?

After none hatching that went through the usps, I think not.

I have traveled to several different states to pick up eggs/chickens. It sounds perfectly normal to me.

People have traveled from KY, GA, NC and AL here for eggs/chickens too. I think you are normal (LOL)

at least in this group...

Eggs don't like road vibration. Make sure they are packed as well as if they were being shipped, with shock absorption. Not just in an egg carton....
And check air cells when you get them home.

I guess the right kind?

Better than the wrong kind

I will be setting some Whitings; however, Rooster was sold while back, so not sure about fertility unless my SLO Roo fertilized them.

Anyhow, may be a mutt hatch. Best layers I heard!

I don't know how much better my WTB's can lay though since they lay everyday as it is. Maybe even bigger eggs?

The blue layers for McMurray?

Yes, the Whitings are from McMurray, and mine lay light blue eggs (not greenish-blue). My first chicken(s) that ever laid a blue egg! I've tried Rumpless Araucanas, True Ameraucanas, Cream Legbar, and Super Blue Egg Layers, but not one of those laid a blue egg for me. MAYBE the SBEL looked blue if tilted in the light just so, but that's about it. I love my little Whities
