Meyer Hatchery? They ship a minimum of 3 chicks.

Meyer is probably your best bet, they have a three chick minimum right now. I got my current flock of five chicks from there and was really impressed with the shipping and customer service. All chicks arrived alive and healthy, though I do have one runt that is significantly smaller than the other chicks. But they're almost all bantam anyway so that's not a huge shock or anything, and my runt chick is just as healthy as the others.

Buy the Hatchery minimum and sell the rest on Craigslist.

Meyer hatchery doesn't work either . I'm going to try to pair with my pet store, but if that doesn't work i'm just going to wait for a broody chicken or order the chicks next year.

Meyer hatchery did end up having the chicks I wanted, they just didn't work earlier because the silver laced polish chicks hatched on a later date than all the others. Once I traded those for buff laced polish chicks, it worked.

I prefer the buff laced personally.
