Maybe we should meet up so I can learn some from you. It would be nice to have a chicken friend I would really like to start with hens and work my way up to chicks. backwards, I know, but I want to be comfortable with what I am doing before I get a bunch of chicks if that makes sense. I don't think we have even even been in the Inman Feed store and we live probably a mile and half from it! Thanks for the tip!Hi Jen! I live in Inman also. I wanted to let you know that I ordered chicks from The Inman feed store on Asheville hwy. They order from a hatchery. If you order the beginning of the week then you get 3 day old chicks on Friday. You can order any breed & all females if you want. I ordered 2 Australorps & 2 production reds back in Oct. They are doing great and I am waiting for them to lay their first egg. Now I want to order EE's, copper marans, silkies & maybe something else. They are very addicting!
