I’m from BC so I prefer local but I’m definitely willing to ship the right eggs. I’ve been researching and trying to find a good BCM breeder near me for months and I haven’t had much luck. I’ll PM you, I’d love to check this breeder out

I know it’s old but I’m so glad that I found this thread. I was just about to order some BCM hatching eggs from Breezy Bird Farm but I’m starting rethink my decision now…

Thank you… it’s been a couple months now but I’m still not over the loss. Im looking to start over again with some quality BCM hatching eggs, so if anyone here knows of a local breeder in B.C. Canada that has them then please let me know! As for the testing, I went to Abbotsford veterinary...

It ended up being MG and MS. I had to cull my entire flock and I’m starting over 😞

Hi everyone! I’m looking to invest in some quality BCM hatching eggs preferably local to where I live but I’m willing to pay for shipped eggs as well if they meet my standards. I live in lower mainland area in BC Canada. I found one breeder on Vancouver island called “Elaine’s fertilized eggs”...

Thank you! ❤️

Thanks so much for all that info, it was very helpful! I just wanted to make sure that the dark egg genetics would get passed on even if the current eggs from the hens are lighter than what they were a couple years ago. Anyhow, thank you again!

Around 2 months ago my chickens got infected with mycoplasma and I had to cull the entire flock. Since then I’ve decided I’m finally ready to start over again with a fresh batch of BCMs! I have some experience with the breed but I’m still a little unsure about how the egg colour genetics work...

Really? I would consider doing a test through them if the shipping isn’t too expensive.

I live in Canada unfortunately so that’s not an option :(

The only symptoms my flock has had were coughing/sneezing, nasal discharge, and foamy eyes rarely. I know mycoplasma can be passed on to chicks through the egg, but can any of those other respiratory diseases you listed do that? I heard that ILT and IB are acute not chronic, meaning they...

Thanks everyone for all your comments and advice! It means a lot to me! I have a feeling it might be mycoplasma but I can’t say for sure.

Yeah I was. It was. Suspected case of MG and what ended up happening was the vet screwed up and gave me the wrong test tube so the lab said the test needed to be redone. I haven’t gotten around to getting the test since the clinic is so far from my house and I don’t go there very often. I did...

I have 22, 1 and half week old chicks that are suddenly dying. This past Monday we lost 6 and again 1 tonight. 2 others aren’t looking very good and might pass as well. Symptoms include gaping/gasping. Once the symptoms start it’s not too long before they die. Can anyone help me out? What...

yeah I understand that part, I’m just wondering if they will test positive for the disease even if they aren’t actively showing any symptoms.

No I’ve never had a PCR test done in the past, this is my first time testing them for MG and MS. I swabbed the only chicken that still had a slightly runny nose, so I’m hoping that will be enough to accurately test him. I’m just wondering how this works for NPIP certified breeders? They have to...

Most of my flock has had on again off again mild respiratory infection symptoms. Right now they all seem to be symptom free but I really want to do a PCR test for MG and MS since I sell hatching eggs and chicks. Since MG and MS are a CRD will they test positive even though they aren’t showing...

Yeah I though that too but it spread to my other 2 separate coops as well. From those coops only the ones under 1 showed any major coughing or sneezing and all the other older girls showed either very mild or not symptoms at all. It’s definitely something contagious but I don’t know what it...

Hey everyone! A few weeks ago my flock got infected with some sort of mild respiratory infection. All my younger birds caught it first and showed mild signs (coughing/sneezing, lethargic, puffed up) that cleared up in about 3-5 days. Some of my older girls and roosters (about 1 1/2 years old)...

Hey everyone! Can any fellow Canadians here tell me how to ship hatching eggs within Canada? Is it possible to ship without some sort of licence? I was thinking Canada Post but they have so many rules and regulations regarding shipping fertilized eggs.
