Good. I think you will still enjoy them, even with all thier flaws. If I couldn't find a good, reasonably priced breeder I think I'd order quite a lot of Dutch and day one cull (by cull I mean sell) any that didn't have the right leg color. Then as they got older you could continue...
I think you need to give Ideal a bit of a break. For a hatchery the fact that the legs, pattern, and earlobes are the right color is pretty good! I have hatchery Dutch from Privett and they are lovely birds. Two of them do have more of OEGB build and tighter feathering, but I have no problem...
Can people post pics of cool colored OEGBs from Ideal? They have so many colors it overwhelms me but I can't tell which ones are cool looking from this illustration pictures!
Any pictures??? I have lately been seeing the charms of MGB unique looks, and I have heard good things about their personality as you confirmed! I'd love to see you babies! My only concern is mixed answers I have gotten regarding winter hardiness. Where do you live and how do they do in winter...
D'uccles are my al time favorite chicken breed! They are the absolute sweetest around! Those are decent hatchery stock... Has anyone gotten any of the rarer" d'uccle colors from Ideal, like brown red, colombian, or golden neck?
Also has anyone gotten Ideal's Dutch? I am interested in what...
Can anyone tell me about Brahma Bantams form Ideal? I'm mainly curious if their personality is comparable to the sweet friendly LF Brahma personality, but I'd love to see pictures too!
Also I would like to know about the personality and size (how big they grew) of Ideal's LF Brahmas, again...
Of those of you who ordered bantams, what have been your male female ratios? Do different hatcheries seem to have different ratios (even though it should be 50/50)? Eg i have gitten super lucky or something with Privett - significantly more girls, both times.
Has anyone ordered Nankin bantams...
