You can order the eggs chicks through mail. They can live overnight usps off there yolk sacs. I have a barred rock, Rhode Island Red and and a white egg laying mix. I highly recommend this overnight hatchery.
http://www.cacklehatchery.com I have 15 black sex link pullets growing out now. It's looks like I'm going to be selling eggs soon. They each lay 300 brown eggs a year. You don't need a noisy rooster either for eggs. I'm glad I passed on those noisy things. The chickens hardly eat anything either. I've had mine since feb 14 and they have only used 1 and half bags of layer feed ration and bag of scratch. You will be amazed at the amount of eggs. Unbelievable.
