What hatchery is a good hatchery to get chicks?

I want to get some chicks but I don't know of any hatchery except Murray Mcmurray Hatchery.I think they make you get at least 25 chicks though. But I only want three or four. Plus I want them to already be sexed. They are not gonna be for show.

1. Tractor Supply Company is a great place to go you can have as many as you want and any kind you have to pre order them i think but you will know exactly what you are getting and how many you are getting. Visit their website at www.tractorsupply.com
2. If you just want chickens for eggs/pets and not show, then mypetchicken.com is a good choice. It has a minimum order of just 3 chicks.
3. Most hatcheries sex their chicks. Also, a great deal of hatcheries are sold out for the next few months, so try to get your order in as soon as possible if you want chicks this spring/summer. Tractor supply is a find place to get chicks. However, you never know what kind of chicks they are going to get (and rarely do they know the breeds of chicks they even have). I do believe you have to purchase 6 chicks from them. MyPetChicken Crackle Hatchery both small smaller numbers of chicks. Ideal Hatchery has a good deal of selection when it comes to breeds. They do not run of off a min number of chicks, but a min price. You could also find someone local to purchase a batch of chicks with, or buy more chicks then you want and sell the rest.
