Is it legal to send eggs from the UK to US?

I’m not sure. I’ve gotten a phone case shipped from the UK before.

Would you be able to research this? If it is legal, then you’d be able to start out with the best in the country.

I can definitely research it, and look into making sure I have enough space to add to my flock.

Any more photos? From what I can see, the silver line needs work but silvers are really hard to get right. The abacots look good, certainly the duck, but if you could send more photos I can confirm this.

Great, just drop me a message on this page when you’ve been able to!!

I scanned through some pages, and it does look like there are laws against it, but I will continue to research this topic.

I have a question. Can you name some common combinations that could be mated to create Silver/Spot and Abacot/Snowy.

For example, if you had a fabulous Gray drake that you wanted to start with, what could you mate him over to eventually get to either of those colors? What would the ducks need to carry? How would the following generations go?

Did you miss the above question?

I did, sorry! Could I have a photo of the grey Drake? Then I can start making colour combinations.
Personally, I think it’s always best to start out with a silver or abacot, but if you want to breed them from scratch I can try to help.
