Where to order mix n match birds?

[chickenjen]

We are looking for one or two roosters, a couple of ducks, a goose, and a few guineas.

I spent so much time last year trying to find somewhere we could mix and match that I got to the point of everyone was out of everything and quit looking. We started late in mid summer.

Does anyone know a place that is first trust worthy to buy hatchlings (sp???) from and that will let you mix and match like this? I know we need to be getting an order in soon.

The goose is to take up the slack of the dogs. I believe the one I am wanting will be a Chinese Goose. The hubby wants what he calls Aflac ducks!

And the rooster(s) are for mating. Will find another area to ask about the breed to get.

I think Mt. Healthy and Ideal poultry both do.

Thank you so much!

Will be figuring this out and ordering up pretty soon.

Now to learn how to raise ducks, geese, and guineas!

BYC would be a good start.

You can find info easy on the net but you could go buy a book.

the aflac duck is a runner

So I take it they don't stay home and would be all over the woods with the dogs. Great! Can't keep the dogs home... Hmmm... maybe I need to think about this and post a lot more!

I ordered from Mt Healthy, shipped today 2/28. Let you know how it works out. Hoping they arrive any minute. It's an 11 hour drive from here to there so hopefully soon!

They arrived at my local PO this morning at 7 am. All are alive & healthy. Great turnaround time from hatchery to home. Check out Baby chicks for pics.
