Buying chicks from craigslist or my pet chicken?

[Blooie]

I also order from MPC. If you order now but set up delivery for later in the season, their minimum required order is less. As for them being a "middleman" for Meyer, this is what Alex from MyPetChicken had to say when asked here about that here on BYC:

"I'm happy to clear this up. My Pet Chicken does have a close working relationship with Meyer Hatchery. Please note, however, My Pet Chicken is not simply a middle-man; we have direct control over our breeding programs and are able to offer exclusive, brand new breeds and varieties. My Pet Chicken works closely with a breed specialist to help improve future generations and ensure our customers are receiving the best and healthiest stock possible.

My Pet Chicken has also partnered with two fantastic breeders who are providing good quality, fertile, exciting breeds for hatching eggs!
Additionally, our customer service department is staffed exclusively by chicken enthusiasts who have their own flocks. Rest assured, they'll be uniquely qualified to understand your concerns and properly advise you, no matter the question.

Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Alex
My Pet Chicken"

We have always bought off Craigslist. They have neve been show quality but have been great pets.
