yep,
That's good advise Shawn. These are one of the lower numbered species out there, and many find hard to get to reproduce well. so there arent major numbers out there to start with. But are in pretty high demand. Most breeders only have 10 or less breeders to start with, so they arent going to have mass numbers like say wood ducks and mandarins. So check often, start talking to breeders in the late spring to get on their list, most well known ones dont even have to advertise before they are sold out of baikals. Watch the sites, subscrbe to either or both of the magazines, and you'll find some. They arent impossible to find by no means, they just dont last long so you have to jump on them when you see them.
