Sunnyside Rainbow Eggers Thread! *chick pics*

Great assortment of colors. They seem to be laying really well in your northern climate.

I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting them to lay until spring

I called the hatchery this morning and was told that they don't ship to my state.

Oh no! Where are you located?

I'm in Zone 8A, US southeast. The first question she asked me was regarding my location. At that point, the conversation was basically over. Very disappointing...

Luckily, after quite a bit of research, I have found that Ideal Poultry in Texas is apparently the best source for a small order of chicks.

Their minimum order amount is $30.00. For example, if I order five chicks and the total is $21.00, they would charge me $30.00 plus a small order fee order fee of $7.00. A heat pack available for $4.75. Shipping is free.

Ideal has an excellent selection and everything I am interested in will be available when I hope to order except the Speckled Sussex (don't want to wait until June for that one).

Hey! That's wonderful! So happy that you found something that works for you ☺ Sunnyside is only a couple hours from me so I drove to pick them up.
