Where to buy day old laying hens

[Chicken_tiger_catt]

is there a Tractor Supply or a Rural King in your area?

Chicken Scratch Poultry is good, they have chicks and started pullets (day-old chicks and eight-week-old chicks). They’re in McLeansboro, Illinois.

You can’t order a six-day-old chick through the mail.

Farm stores don’t guarantee no roosters

Local, family-owned businesses might be more likely to guarantee pullets as opposed to the chain stores like Tractor Supply.
Any reason you want six-day-old chicks specifically?

@GirlsHuntToo has a good idea…

If you don't mind shipping chicks, both My Pet Chickens and Meyer Hatchery has great selection and customer service and sex guarantee. Their minimum starting in Apr is 3. I've got some coming from Meyer's in May myself!

I think OP wants six, one-day old chicks

Chicken scratch hatchery, appears to have a 10 chick minimum

True
If you get eight-week-olds you only have to get one (that’s what I did).
Thanks for pointing that out .

I am new at raising chickens. I want to buy 6 day old chicks in early May and I don’t want any roosters. I’m located in Northwest Missouri. What hatchery do you recommend that I mail order from? Thanks!

Meyer + Cackle have been good so far for myself. If you are worried about them being sexed wrong get some auto sexed breeds IE welsummers / cream legbars / biefelders / buckeyes are a few that i've always gotten 100% accuracy on. Good luck!
