hello I posted this question under a different category and did not receive any answers so I figured a good place to start would be here. I am looking to start a small backyard flock and I would like to add some dark Cornish chickens. What is the best hatchery to order from? I don't expect show quality birds but would still like some attractive birds. I would like to keep some on hand to raise for meat and I like that they are a hardy breed that are good foragers and mothers. Ive read that Mcmurray hatchery's birds are good layers but are small? Maybe this was someone's opinion? I've read that ideal and cackle have nice large birds but I have no experience with hatchery's or this breed. Any input is greatly appreciated!
