i messed up my internet order and they fixed it
when i talked to them they were very very nice
if i every order from a hatchery again it will be from them
or if any one asks
just ordered 25 chicks from estes
never have ordered form a hatchery
but read on here they have some good ones
they hatched today so will have these as a back up
in case the ones i got sunday are not the real deal
guess it's long wait now for eggs
i don't have the hens just baby chicks
will go back by and take a pic of the parents
got them from a man that got his from a show
will post a pic (try) not to good on this cpu
guess i can always fill the fridge and get some eggs
