Don't want to order 25...

[aclee]

I am pretty sure I want to order Cornish X, and I want all or mostly males, so I don't want to order straight run...I also don't want 25, I want maybe 15? I am in Massachusetts if that matters, any suggestions on where I could order from? I don't care when they ship really, I don't need them right away, even as late as March or Aprilish would be totally fine.

I thought I was going to order from McMurray, but they require 25.

Thanks

Amy

Ideal only requires 25 bucks of poultry cost, not 25 birds, so that could work. I didn't look to see if they offer Cornish X though.

Alot of them will just charge a small fee for smaller orders.. Maybe email the company and ask

Ideal has cornish x

I think that townline you only have to have 15 chicks

Check your local feed shop. Around here, the feed shops have a minimum order of 6. Some feed shops will intentionally order extras and sell them in even smaller lots after everyone has picked up their order.

Dodge Grain in Salem, NH has the cornish X (or will order them) but they $3 each for all males...does that seem like an OK price?

I wanted to also find a place to order a couple feeder and water dishes and ideal doesn't have those...

Try Cackle Hatchery, but honestly McMurray's grew out the LARGEST out of all three hatcheries we tried. Maybe someone close would be willing to split an order with you.

Do a post on craigslist and see if someone near you would like to share... Good luck!

Ideal has cornish X and you only have to order $25, not 25 birds
