Whitney Buchanan replied to Binders's discussion Where to get chicks? in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Any of the feed stores in the North and South Valley, also, you can get them by mail from Murray McMurray. They ship to your local post office and you pick them up there, huge selection."
Binders replied to Binders's discussion Where to get chicks? in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Thanks for the advice. Doesn't sound like a lesson I would like to learn the hard way! I am looking into converting an old chicken house/cart into the brooder while the old chickens will get the big shed/coop until the chicks get…"
Eric Randall Peterson replied to Binders's discussion Where to get chicks? in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Most feed stores have them this time of year. Call around and make sure. keep them apart from the big chickens because they will kill them."
douglas binder replied to Binders's discussion Where to get chicks? in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Town 'n' Country Feed would have them. Be aware that your chickens will attack your chicks if you put them in together. I learned that real quick!"

Where to get chicks?
I have had chickens for a couplt of years now but have never gotten them as chicks, only young pullets. I was wondering where in town or the East Mountains people get chicks? I have quite a variety of chickens and would like to keep up the variety. I am really wanting to add at least Ameraucana (or Easter Eggers), black copper Maran, and Buff cochin. Any suggestions? Thanks and happy chickening!See More

Binders replied to Binders's discussion Looking to Add a Rooster in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"I did see the earlier posting but that was for a bantam rooster and I have only large breed hens so I didn't think that would work. I think I will have to go by breed characteristics to help get a friendlier rooster. Any advice?"
Crista replied to Binders's discussion Looking to Add a Rooster in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Did you notice previous postings offering Roosters for free? As in real life... There is generally an over-supply of roosters. (But in the human coop, a shortage of really good ones ;-)

Hi, thank you for thinking of this way for us to communicate. I live in the NE heights, and I saw that you live in Edgewood, so what would be the best way for us to meet up? I would be able to come up to Edgewood, or I am often home if you want to come and visit here.
Thanks,
Kris
