Anyone know where I can get some chicks? Coastal, local co-ops, and even TSC seem to be virtually out.
Wilco in Kelso is getting them in regularly, but you need to call ahead and find out when they are expecting a delivery because they sell out in a couple hours. There is definitely a run on chicks this year.

I hope all those new chick owners find good homes for them when they realize they don't want them anymore. Especially hope they find homes for the hens when they discover they will not be saving money on eggs. :hmm
 
Yeah Wilco I think is 2.5 hours from me so I’m not sure about that long of a trip. I guess I’ll try to be there quickly on this next weekend - hopefully because it’s been like mainly ‘chick days’ this past weekend so maybe the new shipments might not be as high in demand.

Most places get them on Friday, correct?

I don't know about most places, but last week Wilco was getting them every day....and still selling out in a couple hours. I got there at delivery time one day and had to stand in line for half an hour to get 3 little chicks. There were at least another 20 buyers behind me. The only reason it takes two hours to sell out is it takes that long to get through the line!! 😳

Yikes! There were literally hundreds of people in line at my co-op and they only had a few of three breeds left. They got a shipment of over 800.

Oh yes, Wilco was having that experience, but their breeder literally ran out of chicks and was sending them as they hatched.
 
There is another Winco almost ready in Centralia.
There is feed store there by Jeremy's farm to table.
The Farm Store across from Jeremy's just says they don't have any chicks if you call. No info on when they might get some, although I didn't pursue it with them since I found mine at Wilco.
