Greetings all,
My wife and I are going to be starting a flock this spring. We have decided to start with some barred rock chicks. We will be keeping eggs and harvesting some chickens for meat.
Our main concern is we do not want to have to buy 24+ chicks to start. Could anyone give me tips on where I could order 12 chicks or less. We are only planning on keeping 3-4 egg layers, so anymore than 12 to start would be overkill for us.
We live in NW, and are looking to get chicks in March/April depending on when winter breaks.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help.
