Have you gotten chicks from The Poultry House via Bonnie's Barnyard?

TN folks, just wondering if any of you have had experience with this hatchery? Or know someone who has?

This is way late but I bought 10 chicks from him that were 2-5 weeks old.1 drown so not his fault but I bought 10 pullets and of the 9 I have left 6 are roosters. He promised to make it right but now won't even return my emails. So my suggestion is no don't buy from him. I drove 3 hour round trip to meet him at a gas station as I figured he was biosecure but now wonder if he didn't want me to bring the birds back. I will NEVER buy from him again and do not recomend him to anyone.

Is this the one out of the Franklin area? I bought a small number from them a couple of years ago. Two Delaware pullets and two silver-laced wyandotte pullets. One of the Delawares turned out to be a male, but otherwise good birds. I met the owner and his son. They were both very nice. I don't know anything about "Bonnie's Barnyard", though.

They're delivering through Bonnie's now to keep the foot traffic away from the farm. I'm getting chicks from them in March and the customer service so far makes them seem too good to be true. I couldn't find anything on them which is good in that people are generally more likely to complain than post positives but still...

Yeah, it is nearly impossible to find any info on them. I asked the owner if they had a website. He said they stayed busy enough without one. He usually advertises on Craigslist in the spring. At that time, he didn't allow pickups on the property - we had to meet him at a local TSC to pick up our chicks. Very very nice fellow, and great way to get small numbers of birds locally. I wish I could find what I did with his contact number

Not sure if you still need the contact number but here it is for future reference: 615-574-1250 or email at [email protected] I just got this info from a flier at Bonnie's. BTW, if you are in the area of hwy 96 and Nolensville, Bonnies is a great place to get feed and supplies. I like buying from someone local rather than a chain and Bonnie is very, very helpful.

I am interested in this question too. I am getting in the "chicken business" hopefully this spring and I'm torn between ordering from McMurray Hatchery, Cackle Hatchery or going through a local place that I found on Craigslist called The Poultry House in Franklin TN. Anyone have advice?

Order from Doug at The Poultry House. You won't want to order from any where else afterwards. He can get you just about anything that you could order online, but with no minimums, no shipping, and excellent customer service.

Also, welcome to BYC!

Nickie, I replied to your message but I'm not sure if it worked. Still getting used to the new site...

But yeah, hands down, would order from them again over feed store chicks or mail-order. Good people, quality birds, amazing service.
