Its gonna be expensive too. It cost me $20 to send an envelope of veggie seeds...and took 12 days to arrive

So have you ever shipped eggs to Canada before? Just curious, its a long way here

no I haven't. It will be a learning experience if you do want to do it. I need to talk to the post office more about it.

No go , unless they get through undetected they will not allow it..........get a trucker to bring them across in egg crates , less obvious , I've heard .....................

according to the USDA with the proper papers they go through without a hitch as long as it's not a restricted area.

@BriardChickens i like using painters tape to get the toes straight.

Good luck!


I had three eggs out of 12 shipped that made it past 2 weeks.... All three hatched... I need to check and make sure they still look good, I didn't check the navel on #3 yet... Was only half hatched last I checked. Only two made it to right at 2 weeks, the rest were blood rings, and maybe one clear.

These are the eggs that I only paid shipping on so $17 and change total.

They are Spitz... Two were blues... But sure look black at hatch... Cute buggers... But there we are with that silly BBS gene... The last one is Chamois.

Actually, one of the blacks has a bit of a brown frost or something on the head

So nice!

I just don't understand how they get the chickens to focus??




My newly hatched light chick.... Iffy navel.... Loosing it would be a large bummer.

The two dark ones look great... Very peppy etc.

Let's go for it. Canada needs new blood lines. The whole shipping thing sounds quite easy. Really thought there would be more loops to jump through.

we are far far awqy from where the ai trouble are.

Well, I lost one of the good looking quail babies. The scotch tape didn't stick well enough. Once hubby is home he'll have to help me with some vet wrap.
I did come home with a 1 year old turkey hen. The seller was having trouble with her 16 hens all wanting to sit in the same nest so decided to sell most. She kept offering me more. I was strong and kept declining. I need a talk with dh tonight... I'd really like another 1-2 to achieve my goals for next year in regards to turkeys.
Planning on raising enough that I can use them as dog food. We live in beef country and its expensive to buy meats. I might break even raising my own dog food.

Sorry short answers. Mom should be arriving late tonight, and the house still needs to be cleaned.
