Both McMurray and Meyer send Roos as there extra I hate that. Looking for more I testing birds like from papa poultry but he's so expensive?

I haven't tried Papas Poultry but I try to get chicks from closer states to reduce stress on chicks/cost of shipping. Just a personal preference.

Agreed I have just been finding it very hard to get colored laying chicks close and papa poultry is out for now because of the expense

Completely understandable. I would do the same if I had to. Have you looked at my pet chicken? They are based in New Jersey.

Thinking of placing an order with Sandhill for this spring. Anyone ever have issues with them shipping to VA? Did you use priority or express shipping?

no they do a good job . I buy my seeds from them

I didn't even think of seeds… I just spent the last 30 minutes browsing. Too many options!! Big garden and canning plans this year!

I was mostly concerned about chicks. I have ordered from both MM and Ideal in the past, and had no problems at all with them. I may splurge and get express shipping on them, just to be sure. These are a little more expensive than MM or Ideal chicks, lol.

we ordered a few wyandottes with the cubalayas and they were dead on arrival. they sent us 25 more, mostly cubalayas with a few wyandottes. the wyandottes died again. so we just stayed away from that breed. I cant complain about sandhill. a few breeds are weak. some seed is not viable but for the most part, they are doing a good thing in iowa

Anyone going to the Virginia Farm Show in Fishersville? I'm planning to go Friday. Will be my first time going.

anyone local to Lunenburg County that is selling either RIRs or Buffs? Hens or day olds? I have a friend of mine who recently lost most of his girls in an animal attack. Thank you!!!

Hello fellow Virginians!

I was wondering if anyone could suggest breeders/small hatcheries with a variety of chick selections in our state? Thanks a million!

We use Dunreath Farm in Ashland, VA. Great people who run a small family owned and operated business.
