Dragonlady posted in her sig line she would have some available this year. Her Sunshine Girls are just stunning and huge. You would do better with just a trio from Dragonlady than 25 from somewhere else.

It's not hard at all to get poultry shipped to you. I had my foundation trio shipped in from Montana. Just get a
www.boxesforbirds.com box, lay and extra layer of cardboard on the bottom of the box so if the birds poo it doesn't stain the box itself. Get some Grogel Plus and put it in the box. I used the new triple bird box they have. There's a 3-way divider they have that separates it into 3 triangles. Great for large fowl birds. Plenty of room. And the box is about 3 ft. long. No way for it to get misplaced in transit. I got my birds USPS Express Overnight and 3 hours early!! The boxes are reusable too. BFB sizes their boxes for pigeons so the 3 bird large fowl bird is listed as a 16 pigeon box. Just tell them what you want and they will get you all set. Expect to pay 75.-90. for shipping. Well worth it for quality birds.

This is a good thing she is only offering started birds. This is very common among top breeders.
