chick minimums at hatcheries......

[howfunkyisurchicken]

So after getting my cochin chicks on Monday, I think I want some more

My last order was with McMurray, and they did a great job, I just don't want to order another 25 chicks. Maybe more like 6 or 8 or maybe 10..............

I've checked my pet chicken, and they don't have the different varieties of cochins like McMurray did. So can anyone suggest another hatchery that will ship smaller orders? Anybody in central VA with some pretty cochins to part with? I NEED MORE

Ideal poultry has a 25 dollar minimum. At about 3 dollars a chick that should get about right for you

I've had really good luck with Ideal Poultry. Here are some pics of my blue cochin bantams I got from them...

Meyer has a 3 chick minimum. There were so many online choices and I could not find what I wanted..then when I started looking, I heard a lot of good about Meyer, their prices were fair..and I didn't have to wait 3 mths..only about a mth.

Cackle Hatchery has packages for "towns" for those who can only own a few.
