I was looking at some of the "package" type deals at Murray McMurray for different brown or rainbow layers but then read on here that shipping isn't always so great with them. Our local feed and seed just cancelled the rest of their orders due to lack of sales so local is out. I am in central NC and am not sure if there are any local hatcheries, or what online seller might be a good, reliable option. I want a decent variety for a reasonable price - figured my LOs would have fun seeing the different colored hens and eggs. The enjoy helping with my current small flock (2 RIRs, 2 BSLs), just wanting to add to it since they are around 3 years old and not laying as consistently.
