Oh, I hate when that happens. It will probably come back up soon. What kind of chicks are you getting? I'm thinking about getting some Orpington hens. I'm not sure if I should get a rooster though.
I wanted to get some silkies, some bantam Cochins, and maybe a duckie or two. I always order from Ideal, I will just wait, maybe they will be back up this tomorrow.
I had to call them to place my order. The "shopping online" seems like it's been down for weeks now. Always says it's down for maintenance. I like going to their website and browse around at the different breeds and prices. Kinda frustrating when I'm not able to. I have ordered from them several and always been satisfied with the chicks.
