Where do I get chicks near Pittsburgh at this time of year?

[mysheezab]

I am setting up for some backyard chickens and I'm at a loss to where I get chicks from. I looked into some hatcheries but they won't send just 4 chicks, they want me to order 25! (and I can't do that) I went to the county fair but the chicks were sold out :/ so I was hoping someone could help me.... Where can I get baby chicks? Thanks

good luck

Have you thought about just getting some young pullets? It will take the guesswork out of maybe getting some roos. Then having to rehome them. And you are a little closer to having eggs. And before you know it will be getting cooler at night.
