I also called Hardin County this morning and they have smaller minimum (15) but you can't pick them up, they have to ship them again. Sounds like a really good way to stress the birds out! How is this place still in business?
I am putting together an order for this spring and could order a few extra. I'm sure there are more people on here doing the same. I am just south of Bardstown. I found a number for the Hardin Co hatchery in Glendale and will give them a call to see what all they have. They don't seem to have a...

I have been there a couple of times and that was enough for me. It's definitely a buyers market..not a sellers market. I had pullets there once and they didn't even want to give $5 for them. Even baby chicks seem to be overpriced there at $2 each..they want everything for free it seems...
Anybody been to the auction is Sano? It might be called the Sano auction barn? Someone was telling me about it but they had only been once a long time ago. Supposedly they have chickens goats and all kinds of stuff. Sounds like it might be interesting?

Harrodsburg has a mill. They mix their own chicken feed. I think cynthiana use to have one. I have no idea if they still do? We go to Casey co. I like their mill.
Good luck!
Whats the name of the mill in Casey co?

I like it! Would it be a part of this thread or a sticky under the section? Maybe an external page?
I believe there is a map like that for the forum but I don't know where the thread is.
I looked and looked and looked but couldn't find anything so I made one. Apparently Frapper...
Has anyone ever tried doing a frapper map on this forum? If you aren't familiar with it, it's basically a map like google maps where everybody puts a pin where they live and can add info that shows up when someone clicks on the pin. I did one for a sailboat forum that I belonged to awhile back...

If you just want 5 you should make a post asking if anybody else in interested in going in on an order to get the 25 min. I know mypetchicken will ship smaller orders but it will cost you a bunch extra. If you can pick them up in person, mt healthy in Cincinnati OH will sell a few (3 or...

Yeah I sent them a email. Not sure what they have. I'm looking for a good larger breed for meat a( not the Cornish x) and maybe some more layers. I had a silkie rir cross but it had something wrong with it and died young. I know a guy with some rir/silkie crosses I'm trying to convince...

Not sure about Tewes but I just had 24 cornish X processed at Central Kentucky Custom Meats near Liberty KY and am very happy. They process USDA so you can actually sell your extra birds at a farmers market if you want. Price seemed good $3 to do a whole chicken, air chilled and vacuum...

I get my organic layer from Fresh Start Growers in Louisvlle, it runs $30 for a 50 lb bag. I called the place in Sonora and Pennyrile just to compare. Sonora was $32 per bag (comes from VA not local) for layer and Pennyrile was 18-20 per bag depending on what protein percent you...

If the swap meet is across the street from the flea market in shepherdsville then yes I have been. We stopped by a few months ago after checking out the flea market and wasn't impressed. Just a few people selling adult chickens and guineas. I was looking for guinea keets at the time. I...

Where is Metcalf county or what city/town is it near? I'm somewhat new to the area, still learning where things are. I see you have guineas at the bottom of your post/info. I am going to get some next spring to help take care of the ticks.
I am in Edmonton. I have 12 breeds of...

Hi!
I live in Bloomfield and have 9 Orpingtons Blues, Blacks, and Lavenders. I started my flock in June. They are just staring to lay now. I will be selling a few chicks now and then, because I can't keep them all. Thinking I will specialize in Orpingtons. BUT I am finding tat...
