where do you trico/midge guys get hackles for the really tiny stuff? even my Whiting Premium capes don't give me many hackles smaller than a 24, what should I do to hackle the 28's?

Whiting used to have 100 packs. They were sized down below 24's but they stopped making them. The other option is a Whiting midge cape. You will have plenty of feathers on the midge cape for all your small flies.
Google the 100 packs and see if anybody has some of the smaller sizes.

Size 26 flies is one of them.

Yes.
Why use hackles?
