Many of the feed stores use the hatcheries when the get chicks, but some of them are also starting to look for local breeders in the area. What breed of chicks are you looking for? There may be one of our members here who is a local breeder that you might be able to get some from if you were looking to get the breed that they might have.
I think there might be a few around here. Unfortunately for me, bantams & crested are hard to find. Especially my crevecoeur.
On a different note: ducks? East Indian for bantam size? Anyone have experience? Can I raise with chicks? Free range with chicks? Read about drakes being an issue-is that accurate in experience?
I've got to get some girls for my boys. So I'm thinking of ordering soon. I'm waiting to get my bantams & cresteds. Figured might take on the ducks.
Plus, I think I need those aprons as the bantam boys with the larger girls is resulting in missing-damaged feathers. Anyone experience with those?
Thanks!
