Baby Chicks

The McMurray chick catalog came in the mail this week. It gives me a sense that spring is only a couple of months away. It is so much fun to gaze through the pages and pick out our chickens each year. I always go in with others who are only ordering a few so we can all get the chicks and breeds that we desire. The minimum order without having to pay a heavy shipping fee is 25 baby chicks. If you cannot order this many chicks, other options would be looking or asking your local farm supply store. I know that Rural King and Tractor Supply all have baby chick days in the spring. You can usually get as many as you want. However, the minimum you should get is 3. These are flock animals and should always have company. There is nothing sadder than a lonely chicken. We always look forward to baby chicks. It is so much fun to watch them as they grow up.
