Dixie and Egan in Addison isn't far from me, but I get my feed from Dodds and Irwin's in Perth since its right across the road from where I work. They order poultry usually through frey's and another place. I find people selling certain breeds locally on kijiji usually, and some friends of mine...
Yes, already into chicken math. haha
Do you know of any breeders your way? I'm looking at a couple barred rock pullets out in Westport. $15 each... is this a normal price for them? All my hens are sex-links and I paid $17 for all 6... smoking deal, but that wont happen often.

Tanya, you aren't too far from me. I live between Jasper and Toledo. I just got started with my birds last week, but so far I'm enjoying it. I get a kick out of the chickens sometimes. A real funny bunch! Good luck.

I've got 3 already, and I'm going to pick up another 3 this week. Pretty cheap startup.
