If you can wait till next spring, Atwoods, Tractor Supply Company, and most feed stores will start selling chicks again, and that may be the way to go. If waiting until spring is not an option, then I wish you the best of luck in finding what you're looking for now. |

I think I lucked out, found a guy just outside of town selling hens that are already laying, then I found another guy in Stillwater that sells a lot of laying hens that have just started laying.

Worked at a chicken ranch in HS in Ca. We replaced all layers after 1year ( chicken pot pies) Get young birds!
The one ranch that I worked, I feed all 150,000 *auto feeders* only 2 of us took care of the whole ranch. We got the chicks at 15 to 20 hours old and shipped them to the egg farms at about 22 weeks. I would collect thousands of egg every day starting about 18 or 19 weeks, would trash most of the eggs. Out of the 150K we would get around 5000 roosters, we would break their necks and put them in 10,000 gal underground tanks. I still like chicken and eggs. |
