Fertility is currently 100% ( been incubating eggs weekly!) and buyers who have contacted me have had excellent luck. Fertility once shipped has stayed above 95% and people are having hatch rates of 70-100%!Oh my goodness! If you weren't so far east, and north, I would go for these too. I've not had good hatches from the upper part of the country. Not sure why? Lower east of me, I've had one state that is good..GA. Mid states, and south of me .. good. Can you tell, I can't have roosters, so have ordered many times. I know my best areas. I can have a rooster if he isn't crowing .. often..for a short while..but haven't been able to keep a silkie yet. Small, but loud little stinkers, or, they just don't mate. ?? Love your birds too!
