My first year I couldn't find the breeds I wanted up here. I ordered chicks, but you know how hatchery stock is. I've been extremely blessed by my friends on BYC for helping me get some beautiful breeds up here.
But I couldn't have done it without shipping eggs. So it's a catch 22. NOW I hatch my own eggs, but every now and again I still have to bring in new blood, so I'll have to go through it again.
