Get baby chicks unless you have an incubator, and even if you get peeps you'll need to keep them warm while they are little.  They can be shipped through the post office, but be sure if you order this way to make a note to have your phone number on the package & have the PO call when they arrive so you don't end up with a little box of tragedy :(

You can also get hatching eggs on both Ebay & Eggbid

There are also chickens, chicks and adults birds, often available on Craigslist.  Also ducks, pheasant, peacocks, quail, too.

Instead of buying eggs to hatch I would buy chicks from the hatchery instead.Most of the eggs I looked at from the hatcheries were expensive and some of them will not hatch.Doesnt seem worth the risk to me.If you really want to buy eggs to hatch ask your local feed store if they can give you the name of someone that raises chickens in your area that you can get them from.

If you do decide to buy chicks from a hatchery,I have bought chicks from Ideal and Mcmurray.

Good Luck!

well the best one closest to you would be mcmurray hatchery in Idaho, I would go for the closest one, because I dont like the thought of little baby birds being shipped that far. The only thing about mcmurray is you have to order 25 birds. Another one I can think of is just like 30 minutes from where I live in College station, I ordered 10 baby chicks from them, your order must equal $25.00 to be filled, it is www.ideal-poultry.com.
