Hey everybody...I do not know if this is the correct heading to pass this on but I was in R & J here today to get a bale of wheat straw and a compressed bale of wood shavings to muck out the chicken house and do a little cleaning up, etc., and Ginger there gave me a copy of her 2011 chick order. It has the arrival dates, breeds, sex, etc., turkeys, ducks, geese, guneas and special order quail and quantities she has already pre-ordered and the like. She will be glad to speak with you and give anyone a copy as well. You can tell her in advance what you want and she will pull your order the morning of arrival and call you to pick up when they are ready. And if you let her know enough in advance she can get the sexed or straight run chicks as you want them and have them boxed and separated and ready to go when you arrive the morning of delivery. She will also special order you some birds along with her order if she knows early enough in advance and that saves some of the cost, etc. Again, R & J Feed here in Jackson, TN. & their phone is: (731)-427-3531 and talk to "Ginger". Hope this is the right posting area for this..if not, Timbo please place as needed. Mike...aka...Garden Daddy Blog: www.gardendaddy.blogspot.com

Me too, and I have been very pleased with the results...I did get 3-Cuckoo Marans from Gina and those have been great as well. Good birds and beautiful eggs.

I've bought from and ordered birds through R&J for the past 10 or so years and as a former employee (last 5 or so years) I want to say they are a pleasure to work for and do business with. Ginger, like me, gets excited when "chicken time" comes every year and she goes out of her way to treat everyone right. She loves what she does and is good at it. I know for a fact that she will be willing to show anyone her order list and answer any questions they might have (or she might even call me- ha!). She orders from both Cackle and Ideal hatcheries. I've always been pleased with my results and I need to get back out there and give her my "Spring 2011 order". Usually, chicks start arriving for sale in late Feburary- early March and they continue carrying them till around the middle of June. They only special order geese in sexed pairs though, unlike the other fowl. Ducklings of course, are generally higher close to Easter- so keep that in mind. If things go as usual, new birds arrive on Wednesdays and the only time they'll be out is if all sells before the next weekly batch arrives. Guineas don't usually come in until late May or June.
I wish you all great success with your 2011 baby chick orders and hatches!

Yes, they are really helpful to us chicken people. I often go in there just to look at the chicks. This year I am going to get some red sex links.

I got a list of arrival dates and like chickenman says, she will give one to anyone for their files as well. I get most all my supplies, feed, etc., from there. Including my wheat straw and wood shavings for coop.

Hey, richie... You might have the abililty of "popups" to open on block. I had to do an "allow popup" to make it open just to see if it would for me. I got a hard copy over at R & J but just wanted to see if it wouild open. Again, you probably will need to allow it to open. Good Luck, Mike...aka...Garden Daddy
