Hi megan,

Show quality calls sometimes have trouble hatching because there is too much of inbreeding going on. Especially the white ones... Evenmore those who are on the small side.. In some cases, they even become infertile...
I can imagine shipping won't help either...

It's always a challenge to find the right boy and girl so they still quality for showing if you like to do so, and on the other side, still are healthy.

This, for me is a genuine concern with this breed..

Maybe you should add some calls from a complete different farm and cross them with the calls of this farm so you have more luck hatching next year...
