I think the hatcheries have a pretty good sexing rate (although they aren't perfect). I'm sure it's safe to buy chicks at a local feed store as long as it looks like their surroundings are clean and they are well cared for but I don't know if they can tell you whether you're getting males or females. I'd be a little wary of Craigslist because you can't be certain that they haven't been exposed to diseases, gross conditions, etc. Good luck!!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007746979603017589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613381893075251079.post-42918104850167052322013-01-16T10:32:49.530-08:002013-01-16T10:32:49.530-08:00Can you tell me anything about local chicks and wh...Can you tell me anything about local chicks and whether or not to avoid buying chicks on Craigslist?

I heard little peeps at the post office one day and inquired about the sounds. They told me that they had a box of chicks in the back. I was new to country living and never realised that chickens could be shipped. I have always loved chickens...so many beautiful ones.I hope they bring you lots of fun.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613381893075251079.post-35992029798583727692011-02-17T18:35:27.894-08:002011-02-17T18:35:27.894-08:00So exciting!

The Buff Orpingtons are still my favorites though, and maybe Black Australorps too, they're just so mellow. We're not raising chicks this year, we have too many other projects going on, so I'll have to stop in to get my chick fix this spring!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613381893075251079.post-77977986130662532842011-02-17T11:45:19.355-08:002011-02-17T11:45:19.355-08:00That is perfect for the White Cochin, Nancy! :)That is perfect for the White Cochin, Nancy! :)Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007746979603017589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613381893075251079.post-23480327428650083162011-02-17T11:17:02.648-08:002011-02-17T11:17:02.648-08:00'Donut' would be good for the White Cochin...'Donut' would be good for the White Cochin who looks amazingly similar to a powdered sugar donut!Nancy in Sun Lakes AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882208110664899569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613381893075251079.post-68607803921356573392010-12-20T11:50:41.513-08:002010-12-20T11:50:41.513-08:00Oh, the names...
