Chick Shortage???

[The Poultry Peanut]

I was looking at Ideal the other day and all of their chicks were sold out some till 2010!!!! Whats up?

Apparently, the "green" movement and self-sufficiency movement have a lot to do with the chick shortage. A lot of people are buying chicks due to the economy.

i ordered silkies assortment st.runs from ideal today and got my notice they are shipping early may - which is OK with my brooding schedule. I have to move my RIR's and Golden comets out by then.

My local feedstore told me that they can't order any chicks until
after May 18th, because they are sold out.
Good thing that I'm hatching my own.
