After talking with several Golden Laced Orpington Breeders they say the REALLY nice ones are in Germany and Brussels and they would be the best places to get the BEST.
I wanted to import eggs from germany, but they would have to be quarantined the whole incubation period through and 1 month after they hatch.
According to our regs I would have to buy a brand new incubator and would not be allowed to get near any of my birds during that time....
After being told that I just said forget it.......

Bummer...that really IS strict. Even the U.S.'s rules aren't that tight. We do have to dispose of the box in which they arrive and put the eggs into a different box at the APHIS office. But at least they don't require quarantine...just live birds.

Would be nice if that was all we had to do here....... and I already had several german breeder lined up that wanted to ship eggs to me.
I wanted Western Graylag geese and Vorwerks(a friend of mine in Germany purchased a Show quality flock and wanted to send me some eggs).
