Utah chicks

[lexie1214]

Hi All!
We are new to raising chicks, but I have been doing some research and want to start with Easter Eggers, Australorps and Golden Sex links. Where is the best place to find these breeds? And what your best suggestions for coops that house 6-8 hens? We are in Salt Lake county.

Hi, I live in Utah also. I'm in a tiny town called Central, Utah. Its between St. George and Enterprise.

I have gotten my chicks from Cal Ranch. I bought 24 chickens, 4 easter eggers, 5 Rhode island reds, 3 barred rock (one died), 2 Austrothorps, 5 golden sex links (one of those died), 3 bantams ( son and daughter-in-law gave me 2 more so a total of 5), 2 sigiatas(I think that's how its spelled, 2 ducks (breed or sex unknown) and 2 turkeys (breed and sex unknown). So where ever they get their chicks from is good. To thave lost only 2 I think is good, considering I'm just starting.
