My chick roo is almost already two months old and not sure when they will be matured enough to start breeding the girls. These are from Estes Hatchery and hope they are good as they said they would be..only time will tell! Needed more Calicowoods lines along with pure Barber lines which are harder to find. Only TinkerToy from TX has the eggs but I dont want to hatch any for the time being.
I dont think you would have too much problems shipping in the Illinois, one of these days we will try one and see how it goes. I shipped to Karen's and she got the chicks just fine. It was all within 24 hours shipping.
