hi

I'm new to chickens but have built a chicken tractor and plan on getting 5 laying pullets soon.  I would rather not get them from a hatchery becuse I don't want debeaked chickens.  I hope to find some on craigs list or some other small chicken raiser.  Any one local know where to get some good birds?   I live south west of Cleveland.                             Love this web site !! smile.pngcoop 3.jpgthumbsup.gif my chicken tractor I just finished itsmile.png

welcome-byc.gif from Western WI!  You'll be fine getting your birds from a hatchery or try your local feed store.  They'll have their beaks.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Hi and welcome-byc.gif from a fellow Buckeye. So glad you joined. Good looking tractor. I know Meyer hatchery in Polk Ohio doesn't clip the beaks of their chicks. You should also check out and add yourself with the other Ohio members at the link below.
