I am so sorry that I don't have any really awesome pictures but I just wanted to say that I am extremely happy with all the birds that I have gotten from Ideal. I do have a golden laced polish hen and she is really pretty. I have LF cochins in barred, black, white, and buff from them as well and they are all very nice. My buff has a defect of some sort but I am thinking it has nothing to do with the stock but rather something that happened to her when she was hatching. She has for lack of a better term "chicken scoliosis" She is bent in the middle and I didn't expect her to have a quality of life or live long but she thrived and runs the flock. Even the dog yields to her. She's a good lady and we love her gimpy and all.
Here is some LF white cochin pullets and a LF partridge cochin cockeral at 4 months old
Blue and White Naked Necks at 5 months
Delaware Roo 5 months

Thanks. I sent you a private message. One day I will be able to get myself one of those really nice cameras and take some pretty pictures like everyone posts.

Hmm, don't wish to be the party poop, but I've had a few issues with Ideal Birds.
I ordered 6 Black Langshan pullets (already had 2, 4 week old Blue Langshan Roo's), 3 Barred Rocks and 3 RIR pullets.
First, when you order a small number for your backyard they reccommend NOT vaccinating for Mareks disease....
I lost ALL but 1 Black Langshan Pullet. (including my 2 Roo's) 2 RIR from Mareks and one Barred Rock.
The 5 survivers are about 4 months old now. And one will have a permanent limp. (Mareks)
I've had to keep them isolated and probably will forever. They will not be sold either...
To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
I will NOT order from them again.
Good luck...
I'm so glad everyone else has such gorgeous birds!

The Buff Silkies were probably the worst quality of silkies I ordered from Ideal. Here is a picture....

Also received BBS, Partridge and Red. Those turned out pretty nice with the BBS probably the nicest....
here is another quick pic

Those are very pretty cochins.
I do like Ideal and will order from them again. I realize they are hatchery stock, but I do not need show quality --- only a utility chicken so to speak. I like their variety and the fact that they are within 2 hours from me! 
ME 2!!!
Lol, I'd hate to order from McMurray cuz they are so far, thats why I go with Ideal.
Here's mine....
All Ideal's birds.... xcept the roo, he is a silkie/buff orp cross, which both parents came from Ideal...
