WOW sounds like they are charging a premium for only buying a small order.... That is a shame since so many people only want a few chicks.

I think I'm just going to buy local, even though I may not get some of the breeds I want =/ Wait till next year to get those from ideal in the spring before they sell out!

I never get mine before 5/1. Ordering later has the advantage of faster out the door with no suprise cold snaps.

My shipping charges for an order of 6 was just over $40. My chick total was only $17. LOL But they came from Ohio all the way to southern Louisiana in 24 hours. And on their third day, they are all still doing fine, aside from a little pasty butt, but I'm dealing with it.
Pics coming in a moment!

One of our local feed stores takes orders from customers - then makes a large order with Cackle (less than 100 miles away). I was able to order six, for about $2 each and no shipping charges! Woohoo!

I'm not quite sure what happened.... I wanted a dozen hens, so I bought 18 chicks. But, I really had my heart set on some Buff Orpingtons and Delawares - oredered six more. DH must really love me! LOL
