The feed mill I can get chicks from orders from 3 different hatcheries, but the feed mill is cheaper b/c they cut him a deal. So basically it's the same thing as ordering from the hatchery. When I called him today he said that they don't have any chicks coming in any time soon, but if I wanted to place a separate order just for them, it's a 25 chick minimum. I'm fine with 5 or 10, but not 25! So I told him it was too many and I'd have to give it a think.
Nava - that'd be so awesome of you! Can you PM me more details on the pullets you're talking about? How many do you have, what colors are they, do they carry 1 or 2 NN genes (I don't care if they're mixed, I guess), how much are you asking on them, and can you send me some pics of them?? I was just planning on ordering pullets only from the feed mill. I have a silver penciled NN roo and more than plenty non NN birds that I wouldn't mind trying a breeding or 2 with to see what gorgeous colors pop out. Plus I heard that they lay yr round.
Thanks gobs & bunches!
So I will work with him for now.
poor fellow will be the butt of yolks in the coop! LOVE the colors on these two! 
Suffice it to say they like music, particularly piano and violin instrumentals.
