Mail-order hatcheries with no minimum order requirements?

Date sort Score sort
A MINIMUM OF 15 CHICKS MUST BE ORDERED UNLESS YOU ARE ORDERING ONE OF THE “CITY-TOWN OR SMALL ORDER SPECIALS” --- THERE IS A MINIMUM OF $15.00 SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGE FOR POULTRY ORDERS---

That's what cackle hatchery said :(

you can try mypetchicken.com but for any small order you will need

heat packs which cost a lot.

I ordered last year from them and ordered 4. They gave me 1 free. Paid requested for all female and two were male. So disappointed because I had to give them away and now only have 3 females.

The reason for the minimum is so the chicks can keep each other warm, comfortable and safe. You wouldn't want just a couple small chicks rolling around in a box, cold. Ideal has a $20 minimum, but they will still send extra chicks in the box for their safety. I think MyPetChicken.com has a very small minimum, and I've heard that they box them differently for safety.

I ordered 8 chicks from ideal with a $3 heat pack instead of extra Birds. All were fine a chripping up a storm when I picked them up in Feb. They have extra straw for a $1 . I got some great EE pullet from them. No sexing error all were girls.
