I don't think you mentioned you having only a trio. My Malays are 2yrs old, now, & my youngest are 10 months.
Trading, sounds nice. Maybe once we can increase our flocks abit first.
I found a breeder that's abit less expensive, but that doesn't mean I won't order from you too. May not be this year though.
I'd be spending only $195.00, for 12 eggs.
