Just ordered my meat chickens for the year. 25 of them. I am trying a different breed this year -Red Rangers.
Also ordered 15 Khaki Campbell ducks.
Fixing to go get some new layer hens and still looking for turkey poults

If you want the cornish rock meat birds, you can get them at Tractor supply. They usually have them this time of year. Keep in mind they are a PIA to raise...
This year I ordered the red rangers (each company may have a slight different name for them). I ordered my ducks from here

And my meat birds from here

Problem is with the cold weather in the North, a lot of hatcheries had to stall their hatching(chicks will die during shipping)...hence why I had to order from 2 different hatcheries.
