Hello there I get the magazine Countryside and under Illinois is Chicken Scratch Poultry out of McLeansbouro, Illinois. They have a website chickenscratchpoultry.com. I too am in Northern Illinois I have never ordered from them but I did check out the website!

I am in N Illinois too!  I have some of this and some of that, but actively breed Seramas.  I also have turkins, dominique, buckeye.  Got some ducks, geese, and turkeys.

Depends on how northern you want to search for?

There are a few, depending on breeds you are looking for. I do not know of any hatcheries up that far north if you are looking for hatchery chicks.

Breeders are fine too! I am about 15 minutes from the Wisconsin border and about 2 hours west of Chicago, though. So I guess if anybody knows any in Southern Wisconsin too. big_smile

I think I would get put in time-out if I brought home a duckling. smile

Just got 27 Australorp female chicks today from Hoovers in Iowa. I have extras if you are interested. The woman I was supposed to split the order with told me she no longer wants chicks. PM me if you are interested. I'm in Chicago but I can meet you half-way.

Two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.
