My friend and I ordered 36 from Welp Hatchery in Iowa (I think). They hatched out on a Wednesday and were in the post office by Friday morning. They are 9 weeks old now and all are still very much living and seem to be healthy. Customer service was good and I would use them again.

5 RIR, 4 SLW, 4 GLW, 3 Delas, 2 Doms

I ordered mine from the Country Hatchery in Wewoka OK. Mine are doing fine except i had to cull one for a bad leg. I ws on vacation between X-mas and NY's so was able to pick them up instead of mailing. Glad I made that short 60 mile trip. Nice folks.

The dark ones are Dark Brahmas. I have Dark, Buff, and Light Brahma hens and 1 Dark Brahma Roo. I also have 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 RIR's from Ideal.

The Brahma's are huge compared to the other chickens in the flock. They are 11 weeks old now.

Here we see Barack O'Brahma enjoying "Little House on the Prairie" with my daughter.
