're Estes hatchery....We have gone there each year to get our chicks.....It's not much of a storefront....It's a run down building, you go up the porch steps, past sleeping cats, past the old piano, and open the old screen door into the office. You stand at the little counter and they will bring what you request. Very nice people, still in same family for generations. Walk in customers always welcome. It's like walking into the past.
I'd like to go to Cacklehatchery.com in Lebonon, it's further for me, but more breeds, a real storefront w lots of specials available for walk in customers. However this spring I wanted 4 Brown leghorns, called Cackle and asked, can I come today and get them? They said, to be sure you'd have to order them online first and we'll give you a pickup date. Fair enuf, but I could only go that day. Called Estes, asked, can I show up this morning and get 4 Br. Leghorns? Sure, they said. So I got them there. Smaller setup, less complicated. All chicks were correctly sexed each time, it's not too long a drive, so they are our go to place.
