I ordered a bantam assortment from them in February 2010. Pretty decent variety, I ordered 25 and I got a Brahma, a silver Sebright, three black Cochins, two white "Cochins" (wrong tails and wrong egg color, they were mutts but good broodies!), a white frizzle cochin, a red cochin, a buff cochin, a black frizzle Cochin, a dark Cornish, a blue Old English, a white Old English, a Gold Duckwing Old English, a silver campine color Old English, an Easter Egger, a couple of D'uccles and some other Cochins, not sure what color on the D'uccles and other Cochins because they died the day we got them and Ideal had to send replacements, they also sent 13 New Hampshire roosters with the replacement chicks. Some of them were pretty good quality, I did well showing the Old English, the Cornish, and the Cochin hens.
I'll try to post photos another time; Photobucket is going crazy and freezing up and not letting me do anything, so I can't get my pictures.
My wish-list: Old English Game Bantams, American Game, D'uccles, Japanese Bantams, Bantam Cornish, Large Fowl Cornish, Lakenvelders, Welsummers, Kraienkoppen, Andalusians, Speckled Sussex, Cubalaya, Sumatra, Easter Egger (large and bantam), Orpingtons, Iowa Blue, Marans...I think I'm going to need a lot of pens!

To those of you who have ordered assortments from Ideal, did you get a nice variety? I'm considering ordering 25 of their heavy breed assortment to add some color to me layer assortment. I can't decide on a specific breed so I figured an assortment would be the best way to go.
I ordered their bantam assortments twice and I would say it average out to about 3 chicks per breed so 8 breeds/colors per order.
