A little late, as the pullets we ordered, arrived at the store, and we were not notified like they had done in the past. It was a crazy year where everyone started to raise chickens, and some have purchased to sell at a huge mark-up. That's life though.

We are hoping to get a few pullets or young hens

You might have luck if you gave an exact location.  I love NH, it is so gorgeous from the sea to the granite peaks, I hope you find pullets to raise.  Sorry for your (chicks) loss

Thank you. We are in the Concord area.
When we got the email that the chicks were gone, I asked why we were not notified. I guess they used an outside source, where they "called". I have a landline, which does not take text messaging. It's getting harder and harder for us to get notifications from businesses.

We will hopefully find some, if not we patiently wait until next spring. We will also be getting some rabbits and I've heard that Quail is a good source for high protein eggs.

You might try the gigantic Tractor Supply. Three years back we ordered through them and were pleased with healthy chicks in a timely fashion

Thank you. This year was a year of an odd call for chicks, meaning everyone and their brother was purchasing them. They were getting them in, and were sold by the time one drove down there. It would be worth checking the various farm stores, but they stopped getting them in.

I do believe, if I stay connected, I will be able to get some rabbits from Blue Seal.

Asked a friend with a farm in the Monadnock region. She said she got some, yesterday, at Tractor Supply in Hillsboro, NH. They had barred rock, wyndotte, and bantam.

IHTH!

Yes, I agree the competition is fierce for store bound chicks, so we ordered our own through TSUPPLY  and didn't bother with a store visit at all.  We merely used their website

Thank you. I did not realize that. I will check that out.
 
I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments. Or a tiny ad:
