Lol sorry annieyokie The splash is a stunner isnt she I'm in love with the millefleurs lol I cant stop looking at em! I got a couple of partridge gals from them a while back so have seen their setup and yes they have beautiful birds. Yeh, it would've been a long drive for you! My OH works in Kewdale so he just came home via Gt Northern Hwy rather than Toodyay Rd so wasnt really out of his way. The buff cuckoo was hatched from eggs I got from FelzPekin (terannie) in Victoria. He's just gorgeous, I know I wont be able to part with him

I couldn't stop looking at my first mottle rooster when I got him ,he is so beautiful and then I got a gorgeous pullet from Wendy that still looks like she will be mille fleur , and now the ones I got yesterday !!they are such great color's. I might try some eggs from Felz Pekin when the weather cools down .Iv had 3 doz eggs sent by different people latley and in 90% the membrane has seperated ,Ill still try them ,there eggs you cant get during spring.,so I gess worth a try .But I wont be getting any more from the east until march/april. Mine are hatching ok .Ausie post and the heat.

I can definately recommend FelzPekin. Mine were posted mid/late November, so already quite hot weather. Then they sat at the post office for a day coz she sent them a day earlier than I thought she was going to but even with that I still hatched 100%!. I got 16 eggs and they were packed brilliantly and at a very reasonable price too. They advertise eggs on Farmstock, username is "terannie". Did you see the link to their website on one of my other posts? tanie5.webs.com/
