I bought some from Meyers this year. I believe you need to buy a dozen at a time, but I'm not positive. Mine are currently under a hen.

I ordered a dozen lavender Orpington eggs for about 35 dollars with shipping. I thought it was reasonable.

When I candled them on arrival they all were intact, so that was good.
