MPC is having a sale. 25 female chick assortment of heavy breeds for $47.50 including shipping. I'm so tempted to get it but the coop I'm building will only house 13 at most. Anyone near northern VA want to split an order?

Just got an email where they have placed their assorted bantams on sale for 85 cents each, min order 25. Phone number to call is on the 1st post.

I just picked up the most gorgeous assortment of chicks! There are at least 7-8 different breeds/varieties. I'm letting them eat and drink now while I attempt to ID some of them.

However, apparently EEs are considered rare breeds.

The rest really look like rare breed chicks.

Left side of the box - sorry they are clumped up, they were a little chilly.

your new fuzzy butts are so cute, even if they are all jumbled up in a pile!

(ETA: and when you figure out what the Orange and White ones are, let me know! LOL)

Sure thing! I was thinking that it looked like more than 25 chicks, so I counted them and there are 33 of them!

These I ordered came from Ideal. Another person was talking about some other chicks they ordered from Meyer.

I have posted a breakdown of all of the chicks that they sent HERE .

I order the standard breeds @ $.85 and received the rare breeds . . . It was itemized on my invoice everything they shipped me (Iowa Blues, Egyptian Fayoumis, Red Leghorns, Kraienkoppes, Buff Rocks).

Here's a picture

Update: After caring for these chicks since Friday, I lost 2 on Saturday that were very weak from the start. The rest of the chicks were dead by Sunday morning. I contacted Ideal yesterday so I'm hoping to hear back from them for advice on what could have went wrong.
