Only once you have a decent quality product, however long that takes. It doesn't have to be perfect, but having something can show them what they might get out of it all.

Thanks msiler
Dont know how many babies yet, she has not moved off the nest. But heard lots of cheeping. And saw the one baby yesterday.
Where are you located msiler? I'm brisbane Australia.

Oregon which may be a little far for shipping eggs!
Either way, I wish you luck with the project!
