Anyone Selling Chicks?
HUNTIN4SIX:
Just ordered 25 from WELP hatchery. We’ve hatched our own for years. We found it easier and cheaper to order them online. The best we have found is the commercial layers. Small bird that lays like crazy with little feed.

Our friends put this together if you’re looking for local birds. She got tired of chicks arriving dead in the mail. (Warning…she’s a little dramatic over the dead ducklings)

I have a commercial incubator in brand new condition I should put up for sale. I'm out of the hatching business. It will be interesting to see what the local co ops look like this year with babies. My timing was perfect for rotating out old birds and fresh. I've been averaging 12 gold butt nuggets a day this winter out of 15 birds. Faithfully Keeping all my families cholesterol up.

The breeder we use said it's 2020 all over again and had to buy hatching eggs from us.

Unless it's completely obvious to you what breed your looking at don't buy a damn thing from North 40. I payed $15 a chick last spring for some English Orpington's that we're supposed to be a mix of rarer colors like Jubilee and some laced varieties. Ended up with a bunch of Marans of various varieties and only black and chocolate Orpingtons. Luckily they were hens. But the rest of the batch was wrong. Probably 15 out of 25 birds were the wrong breed. I noticed several other varieties mislabeled and clearly showing colors and characteristics of different breeds and when I pointed it out to the employees they were like "oh well that's what they came marked as so we aren't fixing it." You get what you get.... That really rubbed me wrong.
