Since Farmer Brown's Feed Store in Hamptonburgh burned down it has become more difficult to find chicks in Southern Orange County, New York so I was happy to see that the new Tractor Supply Company in Chester in the ShopRite Mall on 17M has assorted chicks for sale. Exit 126 on Rt.17.
Besides what they have in stock they will special order from about 100 plus types. Everything from Jersey Giants to the smallest Silkies. I looked at the list and it looks like they are being supplied by Ideal Poultry in Cameroon, Texas. Ideal also carries Geese, Ducks and Guineas. They also carry Chukar, Quail, Pheasant and Peafowl but I do not know if TSC will special order these.
The minimum order is 6 chicks (which is New York State law) and anything less than a full box will incur a small less than full box fee.
The staff at TSC are very friendly and helpful and the chicks are very well cared for.
