I can just buy the things at "Chick Days" at Orscheln's.

If you are not familiar with Chick Days … well, then you must still be falling for that scam of buying your eggs at the grocery store. Chick Days is a longtime event, I’m confident it has been around more than a decade where Orscheln sells baby chickens (I think ducks, too) to area farmers and other poultry producers. The chicks are housed inside coops inside the store. The sale only features chicks. Nothing close to a full-grown chicken is sold.

They do that everywhere I know of. TSC, I think did it. I know several the Atwoods farm and ranch stors did it. And yes, Orschlins here did it too. I can get them as cheap through a catalog, and they give extra for any that die. The farm stores dont.

a buck a piece!? what a deal!

I paid $2.50 each for 50 heavy run chicks, by butcher time I'll have invested $10 in each bird. That's a fortune for me but I gag at the thought of eating one of those swollen hormone filled tasteless things they call chicken in the grocery store.

I remember hearing about this chickens last yr after they sold them. Where is the farm? May be worth the drive.
