    How to Spot a Phony Farm

    So, you decided to buy some chicks? Maybe some hatching eggs? After spending a few days checking known hatchery sites and not finding availability in certain breeds or colors you want, you conclude that you want to order from a small family farm or a breeder instead. The birds will be better...

    Hey guys! Looking for any help and suggestions possible. I got my order in this morning from a hatchery. Picked them up at the post office this morning. Out of 13 chicks, there were only four alive. I am now down to just one, who seems to be doing fairly well. No feed stores by me have any...

    Dual purpose- but where to buy them?

    I’m in northern CA and I am trying to obtain the goal of having a dual purpose flock for my homestead. I’ve raised egg layers for a long time and Cornish cross for a few years.

    I’m nervous about ordering chicks online

Any...

    WARNING: Cackle Hatchery

    Hello everyone. Please learn from my horrendous experience and be very weary about ordering from Cackle or any hatchery for that matter. I was hesitant to order any birds ever, but I saw forum after forum and many reviews stating that this hatchery was reputable. I decided to go against my...

    McMurray Hatchery experience with priority loading

    Hello! I wanted to share my positive McMurray experience with you guys. I ordered 15 chicks last month with a May 6th hatch date. I paid the extra $57 for priority loading. I had them ship all the way to California so I definitely wanted that. On May 6th I got an email that they hatched and...

    What’s the best egg layer hatchery?

    I’m wary of big time hatcheries or mainstream stores because of bad past experience. I bought from Meyer hatchery last year and 2/3 chicks were genetically weak and died. I assume it’s from over breeding and possibly inbreeding. I’ve heard other people who bought from there with the same exact...
