We went to Pratt's as I had heard it was a good place to go buy chickens from. I have to say, it was fun bringing my 4 year old daughter with me as they had quite a few other types of animals to see and she had a blast in the store. Since this was my first chicken purchase, I was a bit confused on what kind of chickens to buy, but I have to say, that the sales guy was awesome. I wish I could remember his name as he was very helpful and informative. I read some of the other reviews on here before posting and noticed a mixture of bad and good. I didn't experience any of the bad but I know sometimes that comes with the person you work with in the stores.. I will be using them again.
