We purchased our chicks at Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply which is just down the road from where we live. We looked into possibly ordering them online but although the chick prices were comparable to Murdochs’s the shipping was ridiculous and some of them required a minimum purchase of more chickens than I care for.
Our total purchase for the chickens and supplies cost about $65.00 and here is a list of items that we purchased and needed for four (4) chicks.
Start and Grow Medicated Chicken Feed 50# $18.49
