I’m new and want multiple breeds so I can tell my ladies apart! I’m finding I have to buy 3 of the same? How do I get what I want? I’m ordering 8-9 chicks. Any suggestions?

When you needs pullets and a certain number so I like to order pullets with a couple to spare and if i need a roooter an extra on of those too. I'm trying to type after sudden medicatrion at the ER so please lecuse typos. I here a lot of complaint from people that buy from feed stores and such getting lots of roos and frue girls ciucks. Others on here please help this new memeber out.

When I got my first flock as long as the total met their minimum I could mix them all up. Plus they get along better if they are same age.

Hi, welcome to BYC! It's nice to meet you.

If you're getting them for pets, I'd suggest a bantam breed like silkies.
If you're getting them for eggs, I'd get Easter Eggers or such.
Anyway, have fun!
