    Light Sussex source...

    Hello friends. Do any of you know of a good hatchery for Light Sussex or any of the less common sussex breeds? I am not looking for show quality so I don’t want to pay $50 per SR chick. I found True North had them for a reasonable price but they are in Canada. I need someone in the States...

    Backyard Chickens for Self-Sufficiency

    We didn't realize how dependent we are on markets and shops until the beginning of 2020, when a global pandemic caught the entire world off guard. The basic supplies like food and hygiene products suddenly became unavailable or challenging to find. Even if the markets have a full assortment to...

    Which Hatchery for Easter Eggers?

    I'm wanting to order some Easter Eggers for next year. I've ordered from MyPetChicken before and I absolutely loved her. I thought that I might try another hatchery and wanted some feedback on which one. I want some pretty EE. If they have Bantam EE it would be awesome too. If you could, please...

    Have you found that some hatcheries are more accurate at sexing than others?

    Hi! I ordered 8 ducklings from My Pet Chicken and they are finally to the age where I can tell that two were not sexed accurately. I ordered 7females and 1 male and ended up with three males which is going to be an issue unless I get more females (which I plan to do). Anyway, I know sexing can...

    Have You Noticed A Difference In The Health Of Chickens From Hatcheries?

    I've been raising chickens for about 11 years now. My first flock all came from a woman who raised hundreds of chickens way out on a farm outside Austin TX. They were various breeds but they were all happy, healthy, GENTLE chickens. In eight years, of the 15 chickens in the flock, I only...

    Buying sexed poults?

    Hi! I recently ran across a hatchery site selling sexed turkey poults, Valley of the Moon Turkeys. It is the ONLY site I have seen offering heritage breeds sexed. Is there any other company that does? My difficulty is that I need more hens, not toms, and by the time I am able to identify their...

    Lack of Uniformity From Big Breeder?

    I am roughly 8 weeks in to having chickens for the first time and I noticed two of the 5 breeds (I got 2 of each breed) don't appear to be uniform or look too similar. The pictures show my 2 Cream Legbars (bottom rung of ladder in 1st pic) and 2 Golden Buffs pullets are relatively different...

    Hi my name is Adam and I am new here. I joined because I want to start raising chickens for myself. I have a question about ordering chicks. I am looking at the Bielefelder breed and noticed that there is a big price difference in where you get them from. For instance, McMurray sells the day...

    Ordering chicks in high summer, okay or bad idea?

    Here in Maine everyone gets chicks between late March and June. We're building a new coop right now and re-starting our flock. I realized that the hatcheries ship all year, so I could start this year rather than wait until next spring. In so many ways, this makes a TON of sense in my climate...

    A Lesson In Adding To My Flock

    This spring has been one of many lessons concerning chick health and diseases. I feel like I’ve experienced nearly all of them this year. Last year I only lost one to an unsupervised nephew but this year I have lost to cocci, accites, sour crop and most frustratingly, respiratory disease (MG)...
