Thank you for the info. Do you buy your sunflower seeds in bulk and if so where? I have been looking for some in bulk if available without paying and arm and a leg! LOL :)- 416bigbore

It's just my theory, but when Covid hit and people had to stay home the number of people purchasing poultry exploded. Now after the fact people and or newbies are tired of the care of their flock and or have no time because of returning back to work. Just my thoughts on it. :)- 416bigbore

I see lots of Poultry always posted on CL. It seems like there is baby chicks etc. that people sell all year round in NC. I would have never guessed that, I always though baby chicks were a spring time thing.- 416bigbore

I will keep them indoors at first with a heat lamp until they are about 4 weeks old and then with weather permitting move them outside into a building with a larger brooder pen until fully feathered. I guess I was more concerned with the outside temps during the shipping of the day old chicks...- 416bigbore

@3KillerBs Since I am new to the area and this will be my first time ordering live baby chicks from a hatchery this next spring, what would be a good shipping date for the chicks in relationship to the spring time temperatures? or maybe I don't have a say in when they ship them? :confused: I...- 416bigbore

I had kind of thought color may be the only difference with them, but for sure one of my questions when I call ideal in the morning. :) They are both very beautiful for sure and a great duel purpose chicken from what I have been reading about them. Who knows, maybe in the feature we can trade...- 416bigbore

Do you think you will still try for more Delawares, or just keep going with the breeds you have? I am favoring the Black Australorps because of their more quiet and docile behavior. I did find a few local peeps on CL who have them posted and will have to reach out to them to find out more on...- 416bigbore

This is what I found from Ideal, I will call them Monday and see what they have to say about shipping etc. If I like what they have to say I may just order some up this spring and see what happens. :) Sorry about your feed supply issue, that Sux! https://www.idealpoultry.com/product/1493/0...- 416bigbore

Good morning @3KillerBs, thank you for your reply. I would like to find a hardy dual purpose pure breed of chook to start raising and preferably a breed that is very acclimated to the NC weather swings. Also a breed that has a history of docile roosters, I was so tired of being challenged...- 416bigbore

Ok thank you. We just have four 19 month old Isa Brown hens and one Americana cockerel and of course our ducks.
