Suggested websites for buying new chicks?

[aggie2013]

So I had a really bad incident last week and I lost 95% of my flock. I am looking to replace them these next few months. What online retailer would you suggest? I want barred rocks, rhode island reds, and light brahmas.

I've never ordered online before but my friends have really liked Meyer hatchery. You could also try cackle hatchery or ideal poultry.

Yep, we got our flock from Meyer Hatchery and are very satisfied.

I did a lot of research and put in my order with Meyer, they do not come until April though so I cannot really say....

My Pet Chicken has those breeds. They are the only hatchery I use.

MPC is a drop shipper, they act as a middle man, getting their chicks from other hatcheries. I'd try one of the hatcheries that actually hatches chicks on site, but that's just my opinion. I've tried Murray McMurray. Not exactly sure how much of a good reference I'd give there. Mixed opinions. Trying Cackle this spring. Their prices and selection are better than M Mc.

My Pet Chicken shares space with Meyers. They don't drop ship. Alex at @MyPetChicken is a member here.

I guess I stand corrected. My apologies.

No apologies necessary. I believe they are the same birds as Meyers sells. Either way I love their website and customer service.

I've really liked my birds from Cackle, and had good experiences with MMcM also. It will depend on your breed choices, and then the postal services that week. Mary
