***OKIES in the BYC III ***

I was wondering if any of y'all buy hatching eggs through the mail, and if so do have very good success with them. Every time I've ordered eggs they've arrived scrambled so bad some of the yolks are busted. I've only been able to hatch 3 outta 64 eggs, so I've givin up I usually have atleast 90% hatch rate with my own eggs. Anyone have any suggestions.
 
Set 28 only 4 hatched that I shipped and all of my own hatched out of first time breeders cockerel and pullets. So kinda think its a ship thing.
 
Think Cathie will have marans soon. Previously got some from OKCarla a few yrs back. The few we have now came from Jack- he is MJ neighbor- so maybe she will chime in, I think Jack is hatching weekly still.
Anyone else seeing increase in eggs lately? I am thinking some of my pullets have just started laying. We are getting about 2 dz eggs a day now. Can't imagine how many we will be getting come spring.
Jack just shut down hatching, last group in the hatcher next week. He plans to start up again in March.

Okay fellow Okies, where should I go to buy black copper marans??
Are you nlooking for eggs, chicks or grown birds?
My neighbor has Black Coppers and will be selling chicks in a couple months. He may sell a trio now.

I've had mixed results; best - 8 out of 12 hatched, worst- 1 0f 12.
