Online Hatcheries
If you can’t find chicks for sale locally, there are some great online hatcheries that will likely have what you’re looking for.
They stock a much wider range of poultry breeds, and you can order hatching eggs or chicks by mail.
Here are a few of the best online hatcheries I’ve personally had experience with or know people who have used them:
Cackle Hatchery - With more than 200 varieties of poultry for sale on their site, there’s a good chance you’ll find what you’re looking for. I strongly recommend you start by checking out what Cackle Hatchery have available, I get all my online poultry from Cackle.
Stromberg’s Chickens – Stromberg’s is another online hatchery that I’ve only heard good things about. They have a huge range of breeds and equipment to choose from. They also produce some useful blog content which is helpful for new backyard flock owners.
Tips to Help Prepare for Your New Chicks
It’s imperative that you’re well prepared for your chicks and have all the equipment you’ll need to care for them.
Honestly, it’s more fun than it is difficult. With a little research and forward planning, you’ll be fine. Here are the basics you need to be aware of:
Housing - You’ll need a brooder to keep your chicks safe and warm. A brooder is just an enclosure designed to house chicks.
You can either buy one or make one from a box, tank or something similar. They’ll live here for 6-8 weeks before they can be moved to their coop outdoors.
Feeding - Chicks grow up fast, and to do so they have some complex dietary requirements. There are some great starter feeds on the market that will make sure they’re getting all the nutrition they need.
Drinking water - Chick waterers are designed to hold water at a low height they can easily access. While having a lip to stop bedding being flicked into the water as much as possible.
Warmth - Chicks need some help keeping warm until they’ve grown their juvenile feathers. The easiest way is with a heat lamp facing into their brooder.
Start with 90-95 degrees for the first week, and reduce the temperature by 5 degrees a week for 6 or so weeks until they’re able to keep themselves warm enough.
