I know, but they're so expensive! I think you have a good mix going, there. Bev focuses more on egg color. I think, I think, LP breeds more to the SOP. One of her cockerels won reserve of breed.

Yes they are. Out of two orders i have only had 4 babies hatch. Some never developed, and three appeared to stop developing after a week. I am very lucky to have the ones that I have. Hatching shipped eggs is such a risk. I would adore being able to hatch an LP cockerel, but that may never happen for me. Best of luck to you if you purchase some of her eggs:)
