What's a good place to order chicks from? I have always used ideal for my chickens but they don't carry them. I'd like to be able to choose colors, but that's not a must. It seems like most ship juveniles but I want day olds
I am having trouble making up my mind, thought I would pick y'all's brains... Is it harder to hatch peafowl eggs than chicken eggs? I have pretty decent hatches with well shipped chicken eggs. I have two choices: I can get a 2 year old IB cock and a 8 month old hen, but they were not hand raised...

i ordered a whole bunch of chicks from ideal, they are about 17 weeks old, and i unfortunately have to sell them because i am moving. where we are moving to is already covered in snow (well, almost) and we wouldn't have a way to build a coop until the spring, so we are going to sell them and get...

thanks!
