I have not personally ordered chicks, but I would also personally not hesitate to do so. Everyone else I know that has chickens (IRL) has had them shipped. Most people that I know online have had them shipped. The main potential issue with shipping is loss in the mail, but that is rare, and if you're extremely concerned about it, you can just order extra chicks (which, because many rare breeds only come straight run, you'd probably be doing anyway).
I am actually hoping to get 1-2 roosters, so I can incubate my own in future. And if I got “too many”, we also process chickens for meat anyways, so that just makes the choice easier
