So excited to get my first chickens! Building a small coop and run for up to 6 chickens!! Looking to get a variety of girls to strut around the yard and give us wonderful eggs!!!! Any hints on best places to buy babies in small quantities much appreciated!

Greetings from Kansas, danalin, and

! Great to have you aboard! What breeds of chickens are you interested in? You can check local farm and ranch stores - this is a great time of year for that. There is also the Buy-Sell-Trade section or the Hatcheries/Breeders thread - see links below. Good luck to you in your search!

Hello, I am also from Olympia and very new to this, but it's fun so far! I got mine at Del's in Tumwater but when I was there yesterday I didn't see any more. The Del's in Yelm and Shelton still had some last week.
