This is my first year raising chickens, I bought hatching eggs from ebay and tried hatching eggs direct from Bresse farms. I live on Oahu, so it takes one to two weeks for eggs to arrive. Some ebay orders hatched and some failed. In addition, I bought two batches of a dozen american bresse hatching eggs direct from bresse farms and failed on both attempts. The eggs were scrambled when I opened to check them.
I ended up with two Jersey Giant hens and two Jersey Giant roosters, one white rhode island rooster, three buff orpington roosters and one buff hen, 2 lemon cuckco orpington hens, two black austrolorp hens and one black austrolorp rooster, 4 white bresse chicks and about six bresse eggs from ebay in my incubator.
