I just ordered my Buff Orpingtons from Ideal. According to my local feed store, there is a 'chicken shortage' going on right now. I guess when the economy gets bad, people want chickens. Anyway, the company answered my questions, call me back when I left a message and seemed very professional. My chicks will arrive on May 11 or 12 and I can't wait! I don't care so much about their appearance; I just want healthy chicks. Its been almost 40 years since I've had chickens...
