I have been through such a long journey on finding what breed of quail I want, what colors, where to find them, what incubator to use, how many to get, what to get for the chicks and the list goes on. I had found a lovely place with amazing coturnix quails with crazy different colors, and...
Hi everyone! Ive been looking online, comparining prices, availability, minimum orders, e.t.c for different hatcheries in the states and im leaning towards The Chick Hatchery in Lansing, Michigan. They offer smaller min orders in the time frame I want to order, plus their prices are a bit...
I ordered some Jersey Giant chicks off of tractor supplies website on Tuesday and it still is registered as processing. How long did it take until your chicks arrived? I’m really excited and I just want a time frame so I can look foreword to the day and be able to plan pickup accordingly.
I have been keeping a small yard flock of chickens for a couple of years. I want to have some regular breeds, heritage breeds and broody breeds. I dont know where to find them in East Tennessee. Any suggestions?
Ok. I have one local farm store I like for chicks but they of course carry only in spring for a short while.
I would like to order some in the year other than during spring for one month lol.
I have heard many hatchery names here on the site. I would like to know who you use and why. And where...
I am wanting to order more ducks and maybe even two goslings. I want to make sure I order from a very reputable Hatchery, just want some healthy babies. So does anyone recommend a specific Hatchery? Or have any bad experiences with any I should stay away from. Thank you in advance. :)
Hi! I've only been keeping chickens for about 2 and a half years. I've nevered ordered any on my own and am clueless on the process. Our flock came from a friend who ordered 25 chicks from a hatchery and we split them.
We received Rhode Island Reds and I love them, but they are proned to...
Hi all, Long story short we put a second hen (Bridget) down today from what seems to be the same thing. The first one (Lizzie) had a post mortem that showed bad adhesions in her intestines. The second one (Bridget) had numerous unshelled eggs stuck inside that the vets suspected was caused by...

I'm looking to add some color to my flock but I don't need 15 of em.
I've been searching for guinea hatcherys for the last week and can't find any that don't require at least 15keet minimum - is there any out there?!

Lohman brown
Marans
Araucanas
Easter eggers
Olive eggers

I live in Southern Ontario. All hatcheries I checked out online only carry a few standard breeds: Rhode Island Red, Leghorn, ... Like www.freyshatchery.com, pretty close to where I live.
I cannot find anywhere to get sexed day old chicks of breeds such as Silkies or Orpingtons or Easter eggers...
Hello,
I've been thumbing through my new Welp brochure and they mention breeding towards the Standard. This got me thinking: Is it possible to order from any of the national hatchery's and end up with chickens that are Show Quality?
Or is that a Dreamer's Fantasy?
Thank you!

Good Day,
I am going to purchase 5 silkies in 2019. I am deciding between Meyer Hatchery and Cackle Hatchery. I was hoping you could tell me about your experience working with either or both of the said hatcheries. It would be especially helpful if you could show pictures of your silkies...
I recently bought 10 chicks from TSC. Of course, coming from TSC they are not vaccinated. They are around 3 weeks old now. I just ordered 60 chicks from a hatchery and they will be arriving in the next week. I got the hatchery chicks vaccinated for Mareks but I am worried about the older TSC...
I got some extra chicks from privet, anyone know what they are? they are not bantams. I'm just being lazy I could easily look up what chicks they carry and google!
