Which hatchery should I use?

[ederob]

Hi!!! I am ordering some chicks and was wondering which hatchery is the best and most reliable. This is my first time ordering chicks, so I am a little worried I might bring a disease to my flock. I have raised a bunch of chicks my hens hatched, but I have never ordered any. So any tips would help! Thank you!!!

I've never ordered before but I know Meyer hatchery and Mcmurry hatchery are very reliable and good.

Although I only got two batches of birds a few weeks apart, I have been very pleased with Meyer Hatchery. The quality of the birds and the service before and after the sale were excellent.

I really love my RIR, australorps and austrawhites from Cackle hatchery!

Thank you everyone for replying! I was thinking about ordering from "my pet chicken". Any luck with that?

Cackle is the only hatchery I know who strives to keep their heritage breeds actually heritage. Something to keep in mind.

Ideal poultry has some really good specials for this coming week. My Black Sex Links hens came from there and all arrived alive and thrived. They have surprise pullets, black sex link pullets, and barred rock pullets for only $1.75 each. Bantams $1.20 each + specials on Ameracauna pullets, ducklings and meat birds also.
