Hi and thanks for the add! We bought our first chickens back in March 2019; two Wyandotte and two Orpington. They have been such a pleasant addition to our family. Sadly, last week something took our two Orpingtons (assumed dead - many feathers left behind). We are pretty sure we know what went wrong but pointing fingers at this point makes no sense... suffice it to say lesson learned. Our ten-year old daughter is heart broken and we are looking to add four chicks to build our flock back up. We are in Maryland, and I can not find any chicks for purchase. It appears fall chicks coming soon but we were hoping for something more immediate. Anyone in Maryland have chicks for sale?

Truly sorry about the troubles you experienced & the losses. I have had way more than my share of catastrophes. It ONLY GETS BETTER! Trust me.
You have received some pretty good advice from the ByC Community. You are now in good company with the gang. They have a limitless collective accumulation of knowledge acquired from "hands on experience"- from doing things the right way, the wrong way & the hard way. Together we use and share this DATA to help us all learn together as a community, as a family & most of all.. the biggest & best pack of friends who are just a "KEYBOARD STROKE" away.

Welcome to "Our & NOW Your" Chicken Enthusiast Family!

You might be able to buy started pullets that are already closer to adults, if you aren't set on babies.

Welcome to BYC - try posting your request in your state thread. Perhaps someone local can help with the flock increase.

Welcome Nice to have you here! Sorry for your loss! I agree.... post in your state thread, Buy-Sell-Trade thread and if you have a local feed store check if they know someone that’s keeping/breeding chickens. Some places will ship day old chicks, MPC has a minimum of 3. Shipping for just a few chicks is expensive though
