Hi, welcome to BYC!

The minimums are because the birds have a hard time surviving shipping.

I would just wait and buy what you want next spring from the feed store.

Also some hatcheries determine the minimum according to your zip code. It's been a while since I was looking, sorry I can't remember which one.

One more option, not my favorite... Craigslist. I saw someone giving away their flock because they lost most of it to skunks. But there are always chicks and chickens for sale at decent prices. Beware of scammers and know what a rooster looks like so you don't end up with a flock of those.

Where are you located?
