Hey and WELCOME to our site!! You have definately come to the right place if you are looking for ANY info or need help or just for fun! If you want as few as 3 chicks , I've used and HIGHLY recommend MyPetChicken.com. You will see their advertisements all over this site. They pack the babies so well , they arrived from across the country , in Perfect shape ! Another great place if you want just 3 chicks also , or more , is Chickensforbackyards.com. They advertise here too ! Fantastic care for the shipment of my babies too ! The one thing I like most about them is that they have videos of their actual farm and chickens , ducks etc. A tiny pet peeve I have which is probably stupid to most , is that i seem to trust sites that show ACTUAL pics or videos of Their birds , whereas sites that have either " drawings " of their birds or they have NO image at all , I don't trust too much. If you were a " real " hatchery , they should have taken pics of their birds because they are actually on Their property and have Constant contact with the animals. Now I had a Terrible experience using Meyer Hatchery .. First they addressed the box of birds BACK to their Own address , so my birds got delayed 1 day. Then I waited 2 1/2 days for my 4 babies and 2 were DOA , 1 had Splayed legs and died and my ONLY survivor was the WRONG species ! I ordered Partridge Cochin hen and got a Partridge Rock hen. I kept her because I loves her. Well , anyway, just my suggestions on hatcheries.
Wow!! I am impressed. I have been rehoming like mad too. Only 28 chickens now, buuuut there are 40 chicks in the barn and eggs in the bator.. Just rehomed an entire coop today and am sad already.We have all come to the same conclusion that chicks don't really count towards flock numbers, right? Well, I have been wanting to say, I have dwindled my flock down to a ridiculously low...........drumroll please......................27 chickens! Where I once had over 100 large, full grown birds! This is serious headway!
(I have 50 or so in the brooder, though!)
