Has anyone ordered from a hatchery yet this year?

[ghulst]

Order early and you can get the date you want them. I know I work at Townline Hatchery.

Of course I will. We ordered their show quality ducklings, so hoping to get some really nice ducks out of that. If all goes as planned, I'll eventually have hatching eggs and ducklings for sale.

First time order from Ideal:

4 "Ameracaunas" Easter Eggers
3 Buff Orpingtons
3 Dark Brahmas
2 Gold laced Wyandottes
2 Silver laced Wyandottes

I will be picking them up in Cameron on 2/23!!! I can't wait. Got the brooder already set up and Dad & I are going over the plans for the coop now. I've never had chickens before. Parakeets & budgies are the sum total of my bird experience.

Oh, geez, let's see........

well, I can't find all my lists right now but I have about 200 chicks and ducks coming from Meyer, Stromberg's, Sand Hill, Holderread and some where else I can't remember.

But keep in mind, I doubled my order on everything because no matter what I order every year people come, see and buy them all so I just ordered enough for myself and enough to sell, too. Last year I didn't get to keep anything and sold a lot of my laying hens, to boot. I sure miss all those eggs now.
