Thank you for the information. It is thoughtful and a good place to start. It is imperative that everyone do their homework and research before setting out on this journey. Sometimes you have to step out in faith on who you source your birds/eggs from. For a newbie like me, everyone is suspect until you jump in. Since Covid, it was very hard for me to even find a source of chicks. I ended up with a large distributor after trying to find a local. It all worked out in the end.
