Hello all! I hit quite a slew of unfortunate circumstances regarding ordering shipped hatching eggs this year, and I’m thinking it might be best to throw in the towel and just wait to try again next year. So that leaves me with getting live chicks.
I could just get some from our local farm stores, but you’re usually limited to whatever they decided to order that week... Im wondering, how much good(or bad) experience have you had ordering live chicks from hatcheries? Do some have better shipping practices than others? What percentage of live arrivals should you expect?
Let me know if you have any recommendations, both ordering as well as to stay away from!
