I have been visiting and posting on message boards for 12 years now. (many subjects, not just chickens) I have learned to be very careful about making strong statements online because it is very hard to understand tone of voice or intent in black and white.
I have great respect for your knowledge and experience so please take this as playful ribbing....
Dude...get some O/O in those birds already...
now I will go back to my typical bland, non controversial posts,,,heehee
I agree Cynthia. I too have used this method on BYC. It's a good way to decide who to contact for eggs/chicks.
Have to add, when ever I want to buy a certain breed, I come onto that breed's thread, read up on all of the good comments, pleasant comments, take notes, also take notes of who I might buy from.
My wife will also be happy, no more buying birds/eggs. I can close down my quarantine area, and make a bachelor pad. Instead of buying birds eggs, I want to get a new bator! I am not sure which one to get, I am caught between the brisnea hatcher/brooder, or the Sportsman 1502. Or should I get the separate hatcher, bator???????????????

I am going to do that also. I am hoping I have enough genetic diversity to start closing the flock, and not have to many faults pop up! I am going to try Royce, you have convinced me
