I always order from MPC....have since my first order of chicks. I have always received exactly what I wanted, I can select my delivery date, they have a good assortment, and I've always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful!
Gonna get some Silkies, some Speckled Sussex, some Blue Copper Marans, and some Silver Gray Dorkings. The 15 chick minimum is a pain in the hiney, but most places have that for our zip code because of how long it takes shipments to get to me and how cold it still is here in April. But boy, the popular breeds sell out early!
Edited to add: My few forays into buying feed store chicks have always been unmitigated disasters....breeds not being what was marked on the pen, a disproportionate number of roosters when they were all supposed to be pullets, days of fighting pasty butt (which many of them have in the stores) and sales people who don't know beans about what they're telling me.
