i actually agree with this statement... i'm sure breeders are a lot better to deal with. However, in my area there just AREN'T a lot of breeders. The only time you can find them is at a chicken swap, and if they don't have what you're looking for, then you're out of luck. There are breeders across the country who ship, but have a 25 minimum order. Even though my chickens live on a farm and technically I could have thousands, I just don't want 25 chicks at a time. I like ordering a few every so often. Sometimes going through the hatchery route is necessary. If you MUST go the hatchery route like me, I would go with MPC or another large, well-known hatchery.
Edited to clarify.
