Hello chicken people. I'm new to chicken world. Any suggestions on good hatcheries?

Welcome to BYC. I've ordered chicks from Meyer and Ideal hatcheries without any issues. Good luck.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might also like to check out the BYC Hatcheries forum, lots of threads on most of the big hatcheries www.backyardchickens.com/f/16/chicken-breeders-amp-hatcheries

Boy did you find the best place to learn about all things chicken!!!
Grab a roost and join in!!!

check out Cackle Hatchery. They come highly recommended. Great website with actual pics of their birds. My Aussie chicks should be arriving from them next week.

If you know what breeds you want maybe you can find them locally and not need to have them shipped and bought unseen.

Go to "where am I, where are you," in the social forum - to locate and post on your state thread.

Welcome to BYC!

I would try to order from the hatchery closest to you. Not only is it easier on the chicks during shipping, but it is always better to have birds hatched in your area for health reasons. Good luck with ordering your new flock and welcome to ours!
