Where to find boxes?

[Tiegrsi]

I know the box stores have little boxes specifically for chicks being purchased by customers. I have looked online for "chick boxes", "cardboard animal carriers", "cardboard pet carriers", etc...yet I am only finding cost prohibitive items. Does anyone buy them online somewhere in bulk or small quantities for selling chicks at farmer's markets? Am I looking for the wrong thing? TIA!

You might also be able to use a small brown paper lunch bag if it's only going to be a couple of small chicks and they aren't travelling long distance.

might work depending how many you're trying to do at a time.

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. 25 chick capacity is too big, and the small bird carrier you mentioned, Mortie, is too small. LOL...that's life, ain't it? I really appreciate everyone's help, though. I guess I'll be sticking with non-specific cardboard boxes for now. I've heard wine boxes can be great for a couple of chicks - maybe I'll try that.

I don't think OP is wanting shipping boxes. I think OP is wanting a cardboard carrier for the chicks?
