I strongly recommend canceling your order and looking elsewhere :fl The eggs will be pretty old by the time they reach you

I agree. I mentioned a very reliable d’Uccle breeder to you in the May Hatchalong thread. I strongly suggest you check her out.

Hi All, just got this post and am curious - you consider Wisconsin to Texas too far to ship eggs?is there a rule of thumb or consensus as to what’s too far?

Shipping is very hard on eggs. Generally, the shorter the distance they have to travel the better your hatch rate will be.
