Ideal has a variety of weekly specials.

I ordered one of their weekly specials last June and got a really neat variety for ordinary egg layers. Plus .80 cents a chick is too good to pass up! We just put the roos in the freezer last month and they are tasty. Sign up for their emails and wait until after the spring chick craze has passed and you'll get some great deals.

I think they all offer assortments. Go check out a couple of their websites and see what's available.

i have checked out some of the assortments, but i want it to be a suprise. cackle's assortment was what ever was left over chicks, ducks, geese, or ?. nothing speciel just pure bred. my kids had the lots of fun trying to figure out what the different chicks were.
