Any place to buy chicks?

[Evan__66]

So I’ve been raising chickens for a while now but I had to get rid of them before I went to college this past fall. I planned on raising some meat chickens this summer and I figured since I’m back earlier because of coronavirus I would just buy the chicks earlier than I planned to. Problem is from the looks of it every idiot in the country decided to panic buy every possible chick breed and now I can’t find anything online. Any idea? Thanks

Depending on where you are, Rural King?
I know you can also special order specific breeds from them online, or go in and talk to an associate about it. I just saw some in my local Rural King.

Not sure which kind you wanted, but here's some.

I ordered mine way back in mid-Feb - long before things started to get HOT in the U.S. I think people are just getting ready for the spring, which is the perfect time to raise chicks to chickens so I don't know that I'd blame it on people panicking. I've been to several TSC and they all have 6-8 bins full of chicks - for eggs and/or meat. I'm sure there are places as such where you are?

I bought my six chicks from a local tractor supply, and they are healthy.

I don't know were you live. Day old chicks are still available at Meyers in Ohio. But move quickly if there are breeds you want. Pullets are all sold out.
