I was thinking of ordering chicksfrom ideal poultry. how does everybody like? are the prices cheap?what other hatcheries do you recomend?

If horses and mankind were crossed, it would improve the man but destroy the horse.

They run some great specials.

 

Last week I ordered the Rare Breed Pullet special, got a confirmation e-mail from them and then 2 days later they called and said, "Sorry it was sold out"... can we send it next week?... well of course I didn't want to put day old chicks with week old chicks so I had to cancel the order.  Made me sad, but the reason I ordered is because the price was right.

 

Most of their specials right now are straight run.

Keeper of 26 hens,  4 PW Leghorns, 1 leghorn mix, 1 FBCMarans, 1 Australorp, 1 Buff Orpington, 2 Mama Olive Eggers w/ 15 chicks each, 1 EE, a Barred Rock, a RIR, a CQ, 1 Delaware, 1 Black Star, a Splash Ameraucana, 3 W/BW Ameraucana pullets, 5 polish, 2 Welsummers and 41 juvies of various breeds. YIKES!  Time to SELL some chickens!

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

gig.gif...The reason I chose Ideal was because they were the only one, beside my pet chicken, who would let me order a smaller amount then 25...(But then I ended up getting 25 anyway...Chicken math at it's finest) But I'm very happy with Ideal.  I changed my order several times and the costumer service was excellent!  I got all 25 chicks this thursday and they were all alive and active and all of them are still alive and doing great.  I won't know for awhile yet how they did sexing them...And their price is good compared with most of the other hatcheries.  I will definitely be ordering from them again.
