I have found what I was looking for (fancy silkie eggs) on eBay and also by Googling and finding quality breeders. I couldn't find what I wanted at hatcheries anyway.
Yes, they'd have to be shipped, and that usually cuts down on the hatch rate.
Who knew you could get fertile eggs on eBay?! I wanted to get into quail but it would be over $90 to order chicks and nobody has them locally. $20 and a borrowed incubator later we had quail! They sell all sorts of eggs, some of those fancy pheasants are rather expensive but gorgeous, have fun!
