Oklahoma-- Chicken Hatcheries or Places to Buy Chicks?

[lilmissjo]

Hi all!
I'm looking for recommendations for any local hatcheries in Oklahoma or breeders. We're in Guthrie and only allowed hens so sexed is preferred, but I understand that isn't always possible.
I'm not set on chicks, but looking for good layers. We're newbies and do want some family friendly breeds.

Not sure why, But I have no quarrel with feed stores having" Chick Days," You go and pick out the chicks of your choosing. Stores usually carry the most common/popular breeds. As a newbie, your best choice is these common breeds. When you get more experienced,,, you can refine your choices of breeds then.
Considering your location, you can have most breeds of chickens. If you are in extremes areas of COLD or HOT,, then there are more specialty chicks for those environments.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
