Looking for Hatchery out West - sexed baby chicks

[Suzy Hamilton]

Hello! I am living in Washington State on Orcas Island. I know MyPetChicken probably has the best selection but I worry it's too far to ship to me. Does anyone know of hatcheries west of the Mississippi that sell sexed chicks? I'm interested in getting Ameraucanas (or Easter Eggers), Polish, Marans, and Brahmas; perhaps a total of 12-15 birds. Thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome to BYC! Cackle Hatchery https://www.cacklehatchery.com in Lebanon, MO, will have what you want, but you may want to ask Google for possibilities closer to you.
Good luck on finding your chicks.

I live in NW Oregon and ordered from MyPetChicken in the bringing of April (2yrs ago), the chicks arrived the day after hatch in great shape.
I have also order from Ideal hatchery located in Texas, and they arrived quickly as well around the same time of the year.

I would consider meyers in "Polk, OH" as well. They handled my drop shipped MPC order and I suspect their "CLIMATE" is closer to yours.

The heat tolerant breed I got from them isn't very heat tolerant so consider that to be a major criterion now in selecting hatchery stock.

WELCOME to the BYC community. Please send us pictures when you get your flock as we are always ready to stop what we are doing and talk chicken on a dime!

I would be willing to bet the several of you Washingtonian who have stock are also breeding to standard! I am somewhat disappointed by Meyer's version of the standard in my breed. Gypsie faces with black combs and wattles should not have red wattles in 5 out of 5 roosters.

Also the two roo's I gave away were growing fast like meat birds compared to the rest of the flock in the slow to mature gamefowl breed.

I am going to start breeding my ameracauna in the spring soon as a silky goes broody for me.. mine are lavender

Ideal hatchery in Texas. If you are near a major airport hub they should arrive in less than 24 hrs.
I'm in California and 2 hours from Sacramento. Got mine in about 18 hrs.
Just watch the weather. If it's cold they don't do well.

I would search local too. I am lucky I am 45 minutes from Greenfire Farms. If you haven't visited the website you should. It is just fun to see the different chickens they have.
