Mt Healthy has a minimum 3 chick order but a $30 ship fee with an order under 10 chicks.I think we're leaning towards our local farm and feed store. Is there a way to order small (4-5) batches of chicks online??
I'm off to check out those sites! Thank you!!Welcome to the BYC Flock!![]()

Ideal Poultry has a $30 minimum order (which is 6-7 chicks) and only a small order fee of $7.
Both hatcheries are great because you can order one of each type of breed so you can try out a bunch! If you need help choosing breeds, please tag me if you start a thread! I LOOOOVE chiming in when people are undecided!![]()
Please let me know if/what you end up ordering!I'm off to check out those sites! Thank you!!
After doing a bit of research, I think Barred Plymouth Rock and Americaunas would be great to start with. I'd love to find one other breed if we can. We need chickens that are heat and cold tolerant as well as very human friendly. Our daughter and many of her first-grade friends will likely be over here playing with them a lot.Please let me know if/what you end up ordering!
