cant find baby chicks anywhere this year??

Wait two months, you'll have your pick of started pullets

This is a great idea. I’m having to start all over and it’s the worst timing. I was going to get full grown hens but they are even harder to find so pullets it is!

It's sad that people are panic buying because of egg prices. I worry about the care of the chickens once many of the owners realize how much work needs to be done to keep adult chickens.

Check Craigslist for chicks or order some hatching eggs from a hatchery or eBay and hatch them out yourself.

Best of luck!

If you can't find any from the hatcheries, look on Facebook! They have a ton of FB groups for raising chickens. I found someone (literally 12 mins from my house) who raises some spoiled chicks. Haha! It might not be as cheap as TSC, but the convenience and the comfort of knowing they're not traumatized when they first get home make it worth it.
