So excited for my order to arrive!

[City Coop]

Just placed an order for 12 chicks for my San Francisco backyard coop! I can't wait for them to arrive early April.

I ordered:

1 Barred Plymouth Rock
2 White Plymouth Rock (I want to name one Camilla after Gonzo's chicken.)
2 Australorp
2 Silver Laced Wyandotte
2 Easter Egger
1 Silver Cuckoo Marans
2 Blue Andalusian (Hope at least one is true blue.)

I will be sure to blow up this forum with updates as the little guys mature.

What hatchery did you order from?

Mypetchicken.com I read some good reviews and I can't order from farms with 25+ minimum orders. That's way too many for my house/backyard (and city laws)

Next time you might consider Ideal hatchery in Texas. They have a very small shipping charge if your bird order totals $25. You can also order as few birds as you like.

I'll consider that next time I order. Hopefully my ladies will all live long happy lives

I ordered the Large Fowl Layer's Special (25 pullets of various breeds, their choice) from MPC last year and was very happy with the chicks. It was the first time I had that many chicks at once, but it was still wonderful. The cost was $49.95 for 25 chicks, SHIPPING INCLUDED. Great special!

I also like that MPC will sex bantam breeds, which none of the other hatcheries will do.
