Late Hatches

 One method is to go to a top-notch local flyer. Make sure the individual selected wins from the distances of interest. No sense getting sprinters when the distance is the most appealing, or the other way around. Make arrangements to get the late round youngsters that he wouldn’t normally allow his breeders and/or flyers to raise. Either offer the man a fair price or ask him is he’d be interested in helping out and what would be his price, either per bird or for the whole round. 

Some of these men might not be interested in allowing their pairs to raise another round. Respect that decision and try another of the methods that follow, if this is the loft of interest. For those looking to improve stock, purchasing the eggs is a cheap viable option. Just ask that they be identified so top producers and/or flyers can be traced and that line supplemented. Switching eggs with your breeders (if that far in the game) produces great results. If successful in securing late hatches, ask the breeder his recommendations regarding which ones to breed and which to fly (if over 20 birds were secured). Also ask how he would pair them.
