This time of year, I can't imagine that they'd add any males for warmth! I've gotten chicks from Ideal twice - first batch was 15 and the second was 7. It was only a 2 hour drive, so I figured I'd save on shipping and go pick them up myself. Took my Dad to drive back so I could hold the box and ooh and aah at the chicks!

Yeah, i have spoken with them and if you pick them up there is no minimum purchase number.

Maybe I will just go get them then. Told y'all I was tired last night. Lol! My mind is consumed with chickens and a cruise. We leave in a week!!!! How are my babies going to do without me

I've got to pick up a new rooster and two hens in Castroville some time this coming week. Today I'm picking up some favorelles for a friend. I've got eggs ordered for a friend to incubate. Ahhhh!!!!!! Dang chicken math!

Has anyone bought from M & T farms in Lytle?

The "males for warmth" was taken straight from their website, I agree I doubt they are needed for warmth now but I bet they are added to get rid of the extra males that the hatchery has not sold.

Got my first egg from an Olive Egger today. It's more green than olive but that's cool too.

Ideal has a $25 minimum not a 25 chick minimum. Hatchery quality but healthy chicks.

Does anyone know if their site is down or is it just my crappy internet? I can't get to the "shop online" REALLY wish I would have found BYC before getting ours! They are looking more and more like I got 5 outta 5 roos!
