Does anyone want to split a hatchery order? Missoula MT

[MeanCheek]

Would anyone want to split a Cackle order and possibly a Sand Hill order? My Cackle order would be of gold Spitzhauben, and the Sand Hill order would be of Orust and Jeahon. Sand Hill's minimum is 25 and I don't need that many, Cackle needs 15 to avoid a small order fee, and I only want 4. I've never split an order, so I don't really know how it will work but I've heard of it being done. I live just outside of Missoula MT. Thank you!

Great idea! I may have to try this next year. (I’d work w you but I’m on the opposite coast). Good luck!

If you strike out finding someone to split the order and you live in a good backyard chicken community, buy the minimum, grow the extras out (filling in with more common breeds) and sell them after they are off heat. $10-30 depending upon age.

I may go ahead and order from Cackle but help with Sand Hill would be very much appreciated!

If I order bantam Phoenix, do you think the Spitz will trample them?

No neighboring chicken friends there? I have split several times with local people. You can’t split up the breeds? With ideal I could mix them up,to get to minimum

Spitz are not heavy birds..they are almost bantam so probably fine

Cackle needs 3 of each breed, and 15 or you pay a small order fee. But the gold Spitz cost $15 dollars a chick, there are more breeds I want from them, but the Spitz hatch on the 14 and, me being impatient I want them as soon as possible.
