buying chicks

[waterpossum]

i live in NC OKLA and am wondering what hatchery to buy from that is closest me. i seen that cackle was in MO and ideal is somewhere in TX. mcmurray is in IOWA and am thinking that may be a little far. would like feedback concerning these two hatcheries as i/ve only bought from our local farm/feed store. am willing to pay whatever it takes to get them here just want them here safe and sound. thanks STEVE

I bought from Cackle one time and I was pleased with my order, though I had to wait a long time on the first order, I placed 2 orders, 2 months apart and recieved them 5 days apart so I had to wait about two mos on the first order of turkeys, but the second order was chicks and it came soon after I ordered them. The birds did well and I was happy with the quality.

cackle cant ship to virginia because cackle wont do an MG test.. heres a helpful link.
i wouldnt order from them if they wont do a test just to be safe from any diseases.
