For anyone thinking about raising chickens for the first time this year, now is the time to start your orders and look for deals. For the largest mail-order companies like McMurray Hatchery, their hatching season starts in January and February, and they begin their first shipments of day-old chicks around the second or third week of January. Depending on your climate and the set-up you have for your chickens, this the best time to start raising them for the best productivity throughout the year.

Wait, they ship live baby chicks in the mail?! Yes, and its been working for them for 94 years so far. You can head on over to their website or sign up for their free catalog for complete information on the ordering process. Also, be sure to check out Green Daily's Suburban Farmer series on raising chickens in a suburban setting.
