Hi! I've only been keeping chickens for about 2 and a half years. I've nevered ordered any on my own and am clueless on the process. Our flock came from a friend who ordered 25 chicks from a hatchery and we split them. We received Rhode Island Reds and I love them, but they are proned to...

I live in Southern Ontario. All hatcheries I checked out online only carry a few standard breeds: Rhode Island Red, Leghorn, ... Like www.freyshatchery.com, pretty close to where I live. I cannot find anywhere to get sexed day old chicks of breeds such as Silkies or Orpingtons or Easter eggers...

Hello, I've been thumbing through my new Welp brochure and they mention breeding towards the Standard. This got me thinking: Is it possible to order from any of the national hatchery's and end up with chickens that are Show Quality? Or is that a Dreamer's Fantasy? Thank you!
