    Chicks from the local feed store

    That is a good price. The Murphy NC store sells straight-run as $1.95 each--I helped a couple sex the BRs once, LOL. Bet they didn't want me hanging around there long. They only have them for about a month, though. The higher priced one in Blue Ridge sells sexed pullets and they have chicks 10...

    Chicks from the local feed store

    Mine does not rehome any roosters. They get their 5000 chicks a year from Ideal. The other feedstore gets a lot less per year and they are from Privett, but they mislabel stuff, case in point below, the "Dominecker". That feedstore owner charges almost $4 per chick, but she gets sexed pullets...
