Swedish Spotted???

This is not a good time to get hatching eggs thru the mail, too hot. same for chicks and/or started/adult birds too. Better to wait until late Sept. and the fall months. I would never ship birds nor eggs now!

if I wait till the fall I probably won't get birds at all.
My neighbor's dogs killed all my birds on sunday, so I was trying to get back on track as quick as possible.

If its so hot, why do the hatcheries still ship?

Did you consider sourcing started pullets in your area?

Unfortunately the area I live in used to be completely agricultural, but not anymore- thanks urban sprawl.
Anyway,
noone in the county I live in or the one I work in seem to have any of the breeds I am interested in.
Thats why I'm asking around.
