They are close enough to ship quick. I've used them to Connecticut
and love them.

How many chicks do you want? There are local breeders in your area.

There are breeders in my area?! I only wanted 6 chicks, but the minimum for myer is 25!

Who are these local breeders??!!

I got my first chicks from someone just north of you in Mass. Her website is
down so I don't know if she is still around.

The Little Rhody poultry show is in May. Many people have chicks for sale
there. I have, and usually have extra chicks and am only an hour from you.

Post the chicks you are looking for in the Buy/Sell area. I'm sure you can find
6 chicks. Another option would be to split an order with someone.
