My bride wants to get some baby chicks??

I think Popeye’s gets theirs at Tractor Supply. That’s about the size of their chicken pieces.

I thought Popeyes fried pigeons. Surely chickens can’t be that small.

X2. We have also been buying from Ideal for years. In my opinion, they have the healthiest chickens.

Ideal poultry in Cameron Tx has the best selection and great service.

Order, and pick them up at your post office easy peasy, been getting chicks from them for years

Same.

Weve also bought Cornish Crosses from Metzer Farms the past 2 years. Same mail delivery and post office pickup. The time to harvest is incredibly short and the meat is fantastic.

Good luck MrSlick.

Jennie gets hers from Ideal Poultry. They mail them right to the local post office and I pick them up there. We've had great survival rates with their chicks.

Thx Curt. She’s on the Ideal site now.
She’s down to 5 hens so looks like her girls are about to get some babies.

We have ordered from tractor supply through the mail.

[SaltwaterSlick]

Well she has a dozen new girls on the way! Coming from Ideal...
Thanks guys, (I think)!!

Get your brooder ready. They need it for 10 days or so.

That's her problem!! She just asked me to find out from my GS buddies where to get 'em!
And as usual, y'all came through!!

That’s a pretty cool service! What breed has worked best for y’all?

My quail brooder would work for those chicks. Large walmart tote, red lamp, doggie pee pads, pine shavings.

I couldn't get pics of my brooder to load but pretty simple. Bin from Walmart and heat lamp from tractor supply. You want to adjust light to get temp in the brooder to 90-95 degrees.

What is the best time of year to get new baby chicks? Anyone use any of the mail order services for 'em? She used to buy them locally but the feed store closed down she used.
Any help/advice would be appreciated...
