What hatchery allows small orders?

[TLWR]

I'm working my way though a bunch, but I don't want a bunch of chicks. I want 3. 4 tops.
I live in southern/coastal Alabama.
I see some places reduce mins after the end of March, but don't want to wait for early April to get some chicks. Does anybody know of hatcheries that have a low min order at the end of Feb?

MyPetChicken.com is good - I have ordered from them and been pleased.

mypetchicken.com again has great reviews depending on location. I just ordered my first flock of four from them. Like you, i wanted 4 at the most. mypetchicken has a great selection and ships as few as three chicks. the other hatchery i investigated was chickensforbackyards.com, which doesn't have many reviews and is really a mystery to the chicken community. Not many people have ordered, but if you find them convenient, you might want to give them a try.
unfortunately, you might be forced to wait until april, just like me. all the more time to set up, build your coop, and do last minute prep
good luck!

They gave me a min order of 8 chicks based on my zip code or 9 bantams. I think.
But it shows a 15 chick min before April.

can't you try a local feed store?

Meyers...

According to their catalog, Meyers has a new 15 chick minimum.

idealpoultry allows for small orders. There is just a $25 minimum. They are located on the Texas Louisiana border. Sometimes they put extra chicks in there to keep warm. I opted out of that and insured my 4 chicks. The cost of the insurance was $1.20. I'd just check the weather temps and get a few supplies to get the order to $25.

Between the months of April and December, Meyer Hatchery has a 3 chick minimum. I just ordered 10 chicks from them that will be here the first week of May.

We'll see how I do at the local feed stores
