    I know Meyer Hatchery has some but I don't know if they're sold out, they are located in Polk, Ohio. I don't know where else they are sold, but I hope this helps.

    I agree with most of these replies but with that said, don't get white colored chickens(!) if you aren't going to be with them often because they stand out to predators.

    coop measurements

    What's inside your Nesting box?

    I've had chickens for a little while now and I've always had hay in my nesting boxes (because I have horses I can just use hay not straw). But I was wondering what everybody else uses or if there was a better option? Any opinions on this?

    I would have him but I live in MA, literally the other side of the country. Good luck finding him a good home! I hope his new family loves him just as much I can see you do!
