Hi neighbor!

I highly recommend ordering chicks from Ideal poultry. They will over night chicks to your local post office on a Wednesday. You pick them up Thursday morning.


There are way too many people around here who sell diseased birds. Avoid Craigslist, and the regular advertisers on there, at all cost.

Thank you for the Ideal Poultry shout out. I'll definitely check them out. I wanted to avoid shipping, but with the assortment of breeds that I would like, I don't think it's avoidable. I really appreciate your input.

The shipping from Ideal is just a short truck ride. It's isn't bad at all for us.

And they have a huge selection. Thanks again!!
