What is your 2022 chick order list?

[Iluveggers]

I'm looking to get 4-6 more standard layer pullets. The challenge I'm facing is I want all different breeds/colors. I currently have 8 ladies (RIRs, ISA Browns, Silver Wyandottes, Gold Wyandotte, & Black Australorpe), so I'm looking for different colors of standard-sized breeds. I'd prefer to buy local, but I haven't been able to find any farms around (I'm in Maryland) that #1- sell sexed chicks and #2- have the variety I'm looking for and #3 don't have a minmum. My TSC usually only has a few breeds at a time, so the minimum makes it so I have to get duplicates. I'll probably have to order from a hatchery this spring.

Ideal Poultry lets people buy a minimum of $30 in chicks (about 7) for only a $7 shipping fee, & you can get one of each breed if you decide on a hatchery! Mt Healthy is a bit more pricey but has a minimum of 3 chicks and no shipping.


I posted a thread outlining my order along with a guessing game in case anyone wants to check it out!

Thanks for the tip on Mt Healthy. They have a lot of the breeds I've been considering!

Thanks for the tip on Mt Healthy.

Yeah, now I have another temptation bookmarked! They have the two breeds I really want, a low minimum, and they're close(ish) for shipping!
LOL

Were 10 infertile or did they just die?

I think about 8 developed and all bar two quit or failed to pip
