Ditto the local feed store option. They source their chicks from Privett and we got 6 chicks last week. Definitely cheaper to pay the feed store than to have paid shipping. We got to choose the 6 chicks we wanted out of a selection of 50 or so of the Ameraucanas the feed store received in that day. Chicks 5 days later are all acclimated to the broody hen we snuck them under and are all growing, eating, and drinking well.
