Yes, Del's does have a minimum. Reber Ranch does not. I bought my first 3 at Reber. I asked one of the girls there why they don't impose a minimum the way Del's does, and she told me they wanted to support backyard flocks and they understand that not everyone can have 6. She also said just because a person buys six, if they don't want them, they might not be responsible with the remaining. So imposing a minimum to maintain a "flock" doesn't necessarily mean that all 6 will be cared for.

I have got around the minimum before by telling them I have chicks at home already. the workers at dels seem to be under the impression that having 5 or less chicks and they all die but 6 or more and they live. BUT they don't always let me get away with saying I have chicks at home can i get 3 chicks. Sometimes they tell me no they have to stick to the minimum.
I want to go in and at least give a try at getting fewer. and I've never heard of Reber ranch.

and I've never heard of Reber ranch.

Reber Ranch is a family owned place in Auburn/Kent. It's a nice place. Those of you with dogs - they also have a couple of dog parks that are free for rewards customers to use. One of the parks is an agility course. I don't have a dog, but if I did, my dog would be going there frequently.

Well we're home and the chicks are totally passed out in the brooder. Their little peeps are just about more than I can handle! So cute!!!! I'm going to take the 1 week old chick (the oldest of the ones I got) out to Lucy in the dayilght and see if she'll take it. If not, I'll wait until the morning to bring them out in the dark.

So DH just told me if we had a dog, and not chickens, we wouldn't have such a big "Loved and Missed" photo album.
