Best hatchery to order chicks from

[A Dunne]

I am so going to regret asking this,lol, but I am THINKING about ordering some type of banty chick from a hatchery. Murray McMurray is pretty close seeing as I am in Minnesota....
This would be my first time ordering chicks, I have always bought eggs and incubated them. Still doing that but would like to buy chicks just once.

In your experiences, which is the best hatchery to order from?

I have used McMurray and My Pet Chicken with good results.

My favorite is Cackle. I've had the least amount of hassle from them.

A vote for both TownLine in Michigan and Meyer of Polk, OH.

Thanks! I will check them all out. I did look at Cackles website and was impressed.

I have never ordered chicks before but after all the horror stories of problems in transport I'd pick one that is closest to where you live.

Dont order from Ideal- I was ordering some silver campines and lakenvelders that were spose to ship Feb 2nd and they have pushed it back to the 2nd of March, but on the website it says available- This is the 3rd time I have tried to order these chicks and I get the same deal over and over- Welp and Mt Healthy are good-
