I am thinking about getting some silkies, lavender orpingtons, and silver laced wyandottes from hoover hatchery. I will be doing in store pick up. Thoughts on hoover hatcheries stock and health of birds?
 
Hi! We ordered our chickens (first time chicken owners) last year from Hoover's Hatchery. Their minimum is 25.
We decided to go with 10 White Leghorns, 10 Easter Egger/Americana and 5 RIR - got one RIR extra :)
Their customer service is very nice and helpful.
All chicks survived and looked very healthy. And they still are.

That's good to know. Thanks on the update.

Do you really want to know?

I just received my chicks from Hoover's Hatchery, through Tractor Supply, yesterday (Thursday). When I went to the post office (10 minutes after they received them), there was no chirps or movement coming from the box. Even the post master was upset. When I got them home 5 minutes later, I discovered three DOA and the rest barely holding on. After working all morning & afternoon hand watering (Electrolytes) them, three more have passed. All in all, six of 11 chicks have died in the hours since receiving them. Come to find out, from a post somewhere here, they shipped them out during a blizzard. Unsurprisingly, I don't give them a high rating

Sort of frustrated with Hoover's Hatchery, but giving them another chance.
