    Hey everybody! So I'm looking to order a couple of bantam chicks to raise for show chickens for fair! And I was just wondering where the best place to order them from? I live in Oregon if that matters

    I would defiantly look into Meyer Hatchery, Mcmurry Hatchery and MyPetChicken.

    Crackle has some nice birds of the type you wish.

    These are at two weeks and are three today. Sebrights and OEG. I have been very happy with both the people on the phone and the birds they sent me. So you might consider them for your short list. As a note, buying just a few from anyone will likely not be what you are after in a show bird. You might look for a local breeder or such to fill your needs, or order a bunch and sort them out as they mature.

    Good luck and best to you on your endeavor,

    RJ
