I buy my feed at southern states but get my shavings at TSC because they're cheaper there, especially if you wait for a sale or have a neighbor's club coupon.

I'll check them out. Southern States by me is 6.50 for a 9.75 cu ft bag.

Thanks!

I guess I assumed the bags were the same size! TSC bags are 8 cu ft for $5.29 so they are nearly the same in price per cubic foot.

nice, thanks!

Hi All, I just moved to Baltimore County in August and we're going to start a small backyard flock (probably 4 birds), in March. A few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good feed store in the area?
2. Does anyone know where I can get chicks (most likely looking for Rhode Island Reds), or is best to mail order?

Hello @Jake H - I've lived in B-more but wasn't into chickens then... Now in Frederick County, the most reliable place to pick up a few backyard chickens is Tractor Supply or Southern States. I'm not sure if Baltimore county has those stores (they should) but neighboring counties have them. Mount airy and Frederick both have both stores each.

I do not mail order chicks so I will leave that to others to discuss, but I've seen on this site that many people seem pleased with their orders from My Pet Chicken, McMurray's, etc. there are also a few breeders around but not a ton. (If I can find the names Of some breeders I'll be back to post).

Good luck!

Here is a nearby breeder @Jake H -

Their chick stock came from Whitmore Farm which is where I used to get all of my chicks.

I'm in Harford County and would like to find someone to split a hatchery order. I need sexed chicks. If anyone's interested, drop me a line!
