I have always bought chicks from IFA with no problems. I try to avoid Cal Ranch due to their arrogant and uneducated answers to any questions. But thats just my opinion.
They are pretty arrogant and uneducated aren't they? I once had an employee there try to convince me that I was wrong about needing pine shavings over cedar, and that cedar was perfectly safe and non-toxic. Another time I had an employee basically tell me I was stupid for wanting organic feed. As if It's any of her business how I want to raise my chickens. I guess I don't look like a typical "farmer" so I couldn't possibly have any clue about anything.
