there's tons, just google chick hatcheries. The biggest problem you'll have is where to order a smaller quantity from. Murray mcmurry, Ideal, and my pet chicken are popular ones.

We got 3 from Chickens for Backyards last year. Yes shipping was high but the minimum was only 3.

Al our girls are from Meyer. I will say a FYI about hatcheries. My pet chicken, Chickens for backyards do not hatch the chicks, they are drop shipper of chicks, MPC mainly uses Meyer hatchery. There are some other companies that are also only drop shippers. If you want them directly from a hatchery ask the company if they are a hatchery or a drop shipper.

yeah where are you ordering such small numbers? i would love to get some polish hens (Fancy

) but everywhere is super expensive!!

Meyer had a min of 3. They packed the chicks with a long acting heat pack. Shipping was crazy, it was $38 for 4 chicks.IMO it's worth it. We only have a feed store to order from and they have a min of 25 and limited breed selection.
