I have hatched 4 times from eggs that were shipped to me and I have gotten 80% plus hatch rate.... not counting the time I ordered some from indiana during cold weather and only 25% hatched. In my opinion, the good thing about getting eggs through the mail is the gene pool in your area is refreshed. Genes may or may not matter to all but I prefer to mix it up a bit. I have only gotten 1 or 2 cracked eggs out of around 200 sent to me. Good luck.
