Hey everyone! π
If you’re looking for healthy, high-quality chicks, hatching eggs, or rare breeds, buying from a local hatchery can be a great option. Hatcheries often have better selection, stronger birds, and healthier stock than auctions or big-box farm stores.
π£ What Makes a Good Hatchery?
β Healthy, vaccinated chicks (no signs of illness or weak genetics)
β Strong breed selection (heritage breeds, rare breeds, or sexed pullets)
β Good customer service – Do they answer questions & provide support?
β Fair pricing & reasonable minimum order sizes
β Local pick-up or safe shipping options
