The Dequincy sale barn has an auction every Friday night. I think it starts at 6 or 7pm. You have to get there early to view the birds before it starts. Baby chicks sale for $0.75 up to $3.00 dollars, just depends how bad people want them that night. Its located on HWY 27 just before you enter Dequincy. I prefer Rhode Island Reds, nice brown eggs and will get broody if allowed. I do not recommend buying fully grown birds. Especially once you have an established group of chickens. I made that mistake once and lost about 20 chickens to an illness that i introduced by buying an older bird and placing it with mine. It did not appear ill. Good Luck
