Dream come true

I live in San Jose, Ca. and there is a local feed store where the local 4H club would sell baby chicks once a month. I ordered through them. I got 5. Today 1 passed away. I am not sure why. The others seem good. The buff orpington named Blossom is super friendly. So is the Americauna named Frango. I have wanted chickens for many years now but my husband finally broke down and gave the coop to me as a xmas present. So happy!!!

I am sorry to hear about Kris. It is amazing how quickly they become part of your life.

Where did you order them from? I'm new to chickens and I would like a mixed flock as well but I seem to have to order 15 at a time and I'm only interested in acquiring 3-5 to start with...
I'm very jealous of you right now!! Those chicks look adorable and I love the names!!

If I can't get a mixed flock from a friend of a friend I am looking at www.mypetchicken.com. they have a way to safely ship as little as 3 chicks at a time. Your zip code will determine the minimum they can ship to you. They do send mixed day-old chicks and mixed fertilized eggs in small batches and guarantee live delivery.

So true. Can't believe it. This morning the other four looked healthy so fingers crossed ;o)

I don't mean to hijack this thread but I got my first tiny flock (3 chicks) from a feed store. I had good luck with craigslist farm and garden section when I wanted fertile eggs to hatch in my homemade incubator. Another option is to look at the Florida page on this website: Here. There is also a classified type section if you want to try that as well.

I reccomend My Pet Chicken. They can ship as little as 3 chicks but with my zip code, the minimum is 4 chicks.
