County Extension Director A L Brown stressed ordering chicks early to secure a preferred hatchery. Iowa State College extension poultryman W R Whitfield noted late orders last year caused two to three week delays, with some owners taking second-choice varieties. He recommends placing orders at least two months in advance of the desired delivery date. Almost four weeks must elapse between the order and arrival.
The note states that poor weather and a short supply of eggs may prevent the hatcheryman from producing chicks on time unless buyers declare their needs early, and warns against relying on extra chicks to fill late orders.
