Obviously you're doing something right.

I'd still prefer to buy local. There are a couple of people in Western Washington who have them.

I've gotten 90% or more on shipped eggs and I've received reports of 100% hatches with my eggs shipped...

LOL Chickielady, I WAS one of those crazy parrot ladys when I lived in Seattle. I had a breeding flock of Cockatiels, and my main project was breeding for Black Cockatiels. Out of 400 chicks in 5 years I was able to produce 7 pairs, three of those would actually throw iether black or Lutino chicks "Lutino's are yellow." The other four pairs would give me 1 black out of ever clutch. It was alot of work and dedication, but I enjoyed the experience, and to top it all off, my neighbors loved me, and didn't even know I had as many as 20 adults in my house at a time. Somewhere around here I still have all my breeding records, and sales reciepts. I also hand raised "actual" parots for the tweetery in Ballard, the owner Jamey is a wonderfull man, and I couldn't have found a better business partner at the time.

I'm kinda hoping that Chicken genetics are as easy to pick up on as the Cockatiels were.

Ug Illia... I know exactly what you are talking about... This weather sucks and has made EVERYTHING soggy... I had to go out yesterday and tack a tarp over the horse shed... Its been impossible to get my friend out here to finish the roof for me. Oh what I sight I was up on that latter in the rain... lol The paddock is a soupy slimy mess, and when I climbed up three rungs on the latter, the stupid thing started slipping in the mud, moving me farther away from where I needed to be. lol It was quite funny once I was back on the ground. All I could emagine was the stupid latter sliding and tipping over, and me landing on my back looking up from the mud to two curious equines. lol Luckily I didn't wind up in the mud.

I have gotten really fantastic shipped egg hatches, and some at 50% but I do not think I have ever had any hatches under 50%, anyway, book mark the seller, you may not see Brabanters again for a while.
They are awful cute little buggers.
