Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Breeder?

[Lilorp14]

it ok! maybe ill find some on ebay

The female can be fertile for up to three weeks. Some years ago I had a male drop dead for no apparent cause. I collected the females eggs and put them in my incubator. I had a good hatch.

I made a couple of attempts to ship eggs to Canada with my RIR line. It was so costly I didn't do it and a lot of paperwork involved.

I had my first flock around 50 years ago. There were some years in between when I relocated for work and didn't have any birds. I lived for awhile in a restricted area at the time but now many communities are allowing backyard flocks.
