Hi Everyone! I'm from Ontario...anyone else from Ontario?! I'm new to chickens and find them fascinating. I'm looking for some silkie, cochin and wyandotte banty chicks. Does anyone have some for sale? I like in the Newmarket area. I would get them from Performance Poultry but they are a 3 hour drive for me and I only want about 10 chicks so the mail order of 25 chicks is out for me.

Help?!! Thanks.
 
Jossy J,

I wish I was a 3 hour drive from them. I would drive double that to get birds from them. In fact it is totally possible that I will end up doing that. If I need to share an order with others I will. I must admit to feeling a little bit of an addicts craving.

It's OK though! Cause I'm still not as bad as my wife. She fly's to Europe! lololol

There are tons of breeders near you! THere's a fur and feathers club there too, in Simcoe

Hey Jossy J ..

For those of you in Southern Ontario there is a breeders association. You have to join for $15 a year but there are many members and many different breeds of poultry available. They send you a list of the breeders with your paid membership, and you can add what you are raising and selling to the list as well. Many are show quality, alot of heritage breeds, and rare.
It's called the Huronia fur and feather breeders association and the contact number is 705-487-2958.

Is she flying to Europe for chickens or eggs? Where is she going? Would she consider bringing a few more back if I can find a breeder??

(Unfortunately, I have only just discovered that I had a quad of extremely rare birds and am now down to a pair. I really, really, really want a few more. They are Belgian d'Grubbe or Barbu du Grubbe and I am having a horrid time finding a breeder.....)

Thanks!!

LOL!

She goes to Finland for dogs... Hard enough to arrange that without trying to add poultry to the mix. Airlines are getting harder and harder to work with. Unless you are willing to pay a broker to ship via a cargo company.

Next trip is in June... I can't go of course. Work is always getting in the way. Went last year though. Very nice country. Lots of chickens!

I wonder how hard it would be to transport eggs? Anyone try this? I think it would be the same as importing live birds as far as customs would be concerned. Vet check, papers, permits, etc?

don't think you can bring egg across border. I know you can't bring grit. Stupid hey.
 
Gidday Eh! I have three answers to q's asked at above posts.

1. Check my posts on Canadian Bird sales for events near Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=135826

2. I phoned Canada Customs (or whatever their official name is) and here's the rules for importing eggs and birds from the USA: Any importing requires a Federally approved Vet's Health certificate (form VS17-6) for eggs, chicks, or adults; form must include NPIP number on it (US National Poultry Improvement Plan); adult birds must bear a leg band noting age, sex, and breed. Not to mention a federal license for migratory waterfowl (Canada geese, etc.) or a provincial license for game birds (ringneck pheasants, bobwhite quail, wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, etc). The federal license is a BIG deal. The province of Ontario is not a big deal (license is $10 last time I had one) and Quebec no license exists and you can probably get away with not having one. Guelph vet responsible for imported birds Dr Susan Rey 519-826-2810 (all this info is accurate as of December 2008) As of endangered species, I have not looked for into on this.
If you bring over eggs for the purpose of eating them, no paperwork is required (you might have fun at the border).

3. I have coturnix quail (not the biggest breed), silkies (not sure if they're bantams), and a pair of ringnecks and will gladly sell eggs and chicks as I have them. Located in Thetford Mines Quebec but travel to Ottawa frequently.

Looking for big breed of Coturnix quails, either Texas A+M's or REAL jumbo browns.
And will import from the USA if someone wants to share on an order (vet cert typically $75 on top of shipping to US border town: Ogdensburg NY or other).
