southern california sources for baby chicks ???

[tri-5-ron]

Does anyone here recommend any stores in the general areas of Orange County, Corona, Norco, Temecula, or surrounding areas ???

My coop/pen is nearing compleation, and I know that the chicks will still need to be indoors for a while.
My kids are getting so excited, that I might as well start thinking about getting some chicks now.

Maybe even this weekend ???

Thanks,
Ron

The Country Feed Store in Vista usually has a selection of the most popular breeds. it is probably a bit far for you but they do have chicks. There's also Hawthorne's in Escondido.

I purchased my chick from Midway City Feed in MC. Their chicks come from Redwing Hatchery. She is alive and very healthy!

How far south in OC are you? I am in the high desert and the only place here that sells chicks in Apple Valley Feed Bin - however, call first. They run out fast some times. And if they tell you they Amerauana's they are EE's. Don;t buy ducks from them unless you don't care about breed. They really don't know their breeds very well.

I just picked up a few chicks in Norco today...ooppps! I couldn't resist!

Linda's Feed on Sixth Street in Norco has silver laced wyandottes, gold laced wyandottes, black australorps and americaunas. They are 2 days old and all look happy and healthy.

I should probably contact onthespot next time though. I didn't realize they sell chicks, and it would be nice to support a fellow BYC member!

I just got off the phone with "Bill" at Midway City Feed.
Seemed very nice, easy going, and personable on the phone, and took a few minutes to talk with me and make sure I was properly prepared to keep the chicks healthy and happy.
(He actually seemed more concerned about it than I would have expected). I liked that.
We will be visiting his store today, and may even have some "New Arrivials" coming home with us. Yea !

Now besides the big brooder tub, screen for the top, 100w clamp light, feeder, waterer, and some bedding,....
Should I need to pick up anything else that the chicks will need ???
Meds ?
Suppliments ?
Other Supplies ???
