I just went to Ideal Poultry in Cameron for chickens. Check out their website.

Whaaaaa? Is everything on their site available to just go in and pick up? Cameron isn't that far from College Station.

You can go to their website, call in order and they will tell when to pick it up. I had a fantastic experience. Plan on calling in another order in March.

I had a great experience as well - picked up 25 chicks, was so glad they didn't go in the mail.

To pick up at Ideal you just need to call in your order ahead of time because the hatchery is not where you pick up the birds. Make sure they understand you are picking them up and they will give you a date.

Yes, this is a good point - it's not walk in and order, and you pick up at their "business" storefront. You have to order for a set date - but instead of shipping, you pick up. You MUST pick up that day (they don't have the facilities to brood them).

Also if you pick up you can get a smaller number of chicks and don't have packing peanuts. You can check them before you leave to make sure they are all ok and they don't have to sit in a cold truck or loading dock somewhere.

Good morning Texas! Hope all are off to a good start today. We are looking forward to some rain here in in Northeast section of state.

I believe our forecast is for rain also in the Houston Area.

Yes Wendy High, the rain is passing to the south of us right now but it seems to be angled up your direction. Wish we would get a little bit of it.
