Shipped eggs, eBay or otherwise, are always a crap shoot. you can get a 100% hatch rate, you can get a 0% hatch rate. Usually a decent hatch is 25%. I recommend learning how to use the incubator on cheap local eggs. There are a lot of things you learn to do to increase your hatch rate with a little practice.
Once you spend 100 bucks on rare heritage breed eggs you want those suckers to have every chance. ( or at least I do, I'm cheap, lol) we are in San Jose and have silkie, showgirl( well usually I have those 6/6 hens are broodie or have babies atm my poor roosters are soo sad!), olive egger and FCBM eggs, but I don't see those on your list. But if you are in the area and want to practice, give me a holler.
and Welcome to BYC!! And IA!
Also, i saw rare marans somewhere in the greater norther California area when I did a search a month or so ago, cant for the life of me remember where, but close enough I thought I could schlep out there and maybe grab a few birchens.
