Spring Poultry Orders - Ideal Poultry - Page 4

mkhenderson..

 

My first order from ideal this year has been d'Uccles (golden neck and self blues).  Last fall it was porcelains.  Haven't done an order for the whites (yet!).

 

All have arrived alive (and more importantly! have remained alive!).  The newest order of 10 are doing fine.

 

Hope this helps...

 I don't have any hearing friends beside my hubby LOL! He works early and very late so he would not be able to do it. I am sure Ideal Hatchery can work something out for hearing impared folks or any folks that are unable to use call phones. I do not have TDD for quite some years (daughter poured water on it, fried it LOL!) so any calls I make are either emails, text or in person (face to face). Being hearing impaired has its limits even my own new family doctor went out of her way to give me her emails so I can make appointments.

That's good to hear!  I'm always worried about ordering from hatcheries because a lot of people think D'uccles and booted are the same thing and I have seen a few booted's come out of supposed D'Uccles.     I cant wait to order some Golden Necked and whites!  I may order a few porcelains, I have 2 hens but no roo.    d'Uccles are by far my favorite breed smile.png

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Today, I received my second order of chicks from Ideal so far this spring (might place a 3rd yet as well), great results again.  It was in the 30s for a high, single digits for a low, and all 25 still made it.  They were a bit chilled, so I'm not going to say for sure that they'll thrive, but they're doing well so far.
