Though this hasn't been a good year for getting chicks from them, I hear.

It's getting late in the year for shipping chicks. You may want to wait

I want to start raising chickens but haven't been able to find any
locally. Can you mail order chicks? Can they ship them safely and
humanely? I live in western Montana.
