Work at a feed store, looking for a hatchery to order stock from next spring

Date sort Score sort
My local Feed stores all use Ideal. My current birds are all from there except one. Wide variety. Not really close to standard on most birds it seems though (wrong comb, almost no lacing etc). The one i have that was picked through efowl (broker), pretty sure was a cackle bird, looks much closer to standard for its type...
 
Ideal has a huge selection, and pretty accurate sexing. The birds aren't even close to show quality, but that's to be expected. No matter what they tell you, their Ameraucana are not Ameraucana, they have Easter Eggers. Same goes for every other hatchery that doesn't specify a color/variety for their Ameraucana.
If your customers are interested in birds that better meet breed standards, Cackle and Meyer are the ones to go to.
 
Ideal is the largest whole seller of chicks in usa they have been in business for many years you don't do that by not having happy buyers just my two cents worth
