Greetings all,

The time has come for me to finally get some chicks( I'm looking for day/week olds or near that). My pet chicken has the breeds I want, but I would rather source locally (I'm in Colorado Springs). I'm looking to get 4 chicks... 2 EE plus two more. From all the choices, on  the top of my list are Orpingtons, Plymouth Rock, red or black Star and Australorp in that order. I'm also open to other breeds that are cold hardy and are not especially flighty ( I will have a 4x8 run, but intend to let them out in the yard a few hours a week and have only a 4.5' fence). 

I know Wardle's up in Denver carries a decent selection of chicks, but they rarely have EE in stock and those are the hens I really want. Any other feed stores with a good selection? I'd be willing to make a day trip if there is something with in 200 mi or so. 

Any breeders out there with these or other breeds?

thanks,

Mo

I'm in Loveland, so a couple hours away, but I JUST got chicks in the mail today, hatched the 27th. We got 16 from cackle hatchery (minimum order and they sent an extra). 5 red sex link (red star), 6 black Australorp and 5 EE's. We can only keep 4 of them so if you wanted some of my girls, I have the breeds you are looking for! I just picked them up from the PO this morning. All 16 are running around looking healthy, eating (organic soy free, corn free starter) and drinking. They are SO cute! $15 for 4 if you are interested.

This is for Rock, cuz he needs a Narragansett turkey fix.....

They were tired. It was overcast, and a cooler than recent breeze was blowing through the pen. They were WAY too comfortable!

Sorry, I missed your post when replying to Mo. We'd have spare chicks for your sister, too!

Hiya Josh

Ideal Hatchery has had some great specials too but I would be afraid to ship in this heat.

I hope you get to go back soon, know you are in my thoughts and probably most if not all of us on the forum.

Thank you...Someday I need to come down; have a glass of Iced Tea; and have you tell about your flock.

Course while you're talking, I get to hold a turkey...that goes without saying.

I saw some baby turkeys when I got my babies, they are so adorable.
