$10 for day old chicks. Which looking at a couple of hatcheries now, apparently isn't that much. Sounded like a lot when I could buy "normal" pullets for $2-3 at farm stores. I suppose I should have compared hatcheries first; never occurred to me after being told to stay away from them
Well, live and learn. I may go ahead and breed these as planned to learn about that process and be prepared to cull ruthlessly as needed. In the meantime, I can be on the lookout for some older stock in my area. That's the hard part - I haven't seen any show breeders in my area, so I am not sure where to even begin..
