Chick fever is strinking AGAIN!

[Organic Gal]

I know Oxford F&L, I live in Lincoln University. I can check with them and ask who the hatchery is. I was curious where you are getting yours because I’m looking specifically for Meyers, especially Rhode Island Red, theirs are bred big. I would like to order from the hatchery, but I can’t pay $35 shipping.

Oxford feed and lumber told me yesterday that they are getting RIR, BUff Orpington and Easter Eggers and one other special breed each week. They always have chicks for several weeks and keep reordering

[QUOTE="chkncrazy, post: 22150225, member: 474136"...they only mean order female sexed chicks but I may be wrong... only get female sex chicks which made it pretty convenient..... does anyone know if this is true about Tractor Supply

I know TSC will usually have some pullets, but my TSC usually has mostly straight run. I've never heard of any tsc that only had girls.
And in any given lot of pullets you can expect to find up to 10% roosters. Sexing isn't perfect and in my experience with Tractor Supply Company, you can buy just pullets and wind up with more than half turning out to be roosters.
