Besides My Pet Chicken, where else can I order a small quantity of chicks?

I am not sure they have the breeds you listed, but it seems you are more interested in a color pallet than anything, but perhaps I am inferring too much. If that is the case, you can put lavender or blue in the search box and perhaps they have something else that might catch your fancy! I did not even know silver Spangled hamburgs existed before I started searching for a small, but sexable (bantams are not usually available sexed) chicken that was a reliable egg layer and that I liked the look of and characteristics of (I want good foragers that DON'T want to sit on my head or follow the neighbors home! Lol)

And you really might want to look at the thread for your state and area and give a shout out on it. There are some wicked rare breeds I found out peeps not far from me have and would gladly offer just one or two of!

I saw that Ideal has blue D'Uccles listed I think. Too bad they won't sex the little nuggets (they consider them purely bantam... even though that's all they come in). If they sexed them... I would be sorely tempted not to have them shove a few in my box. Did not know they even CAME in blue. I really need to get to a show! Lol

Thanks! I'll do that.

I'm pretty stuck on Orpingtons, and want to add a lavender and blue hen to my (very small) flock. I also would really like some blue eggs, and the blue Ameracauna seems to fit the bill, plus I like their sweet little beards. My goal is to eventually have all Orpingtons with one or two Ameracaunas.

This is a really good idea! Definitely check your local thread, I've gotten some really nice birds from the people on mine

Have you stopped by our Buy Sell and Trade section here on BYC? Here is the link to our "Chicks, 1 day to 8 weeks"...... https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/53/chicks-1-day-to-8-weeks-old

You might find something here and maybe there is even a breeder near to where you live.

Thanks!

 

[SparrowSong]

I'll look through there; thanks!

Local small breeders is probably your best bet, its not really safe to ship just a couple birds. rainbow hatchery ships 5 for free but only rare breeds.
