    Rolling Hills Toulouse Farm

    This is very disheartening to read. I had emailed this guy a few months ago about ordering some for next year.. He was very quick to write back, though it sounds like that might only be true till he gets your money. I was going to order some from him and holderread to be able to have diverse...

    embden maturity

    Perhaps I have missed it. But, I can't find via search any information on when Embdens mature. I see typical weights listed as 20-26 pounds. When can that be expected?

    Do turkeys fly away? And best hatchery from which to order turkeys?

    mcmurray has a minimum of 15 as does welp. I see that ideal hatchery has NO minimum as long as your order totals $25. So one could order three turkeys and pay a $7 small order fee if desired. cackle I think is 15 turkeys. I have only ordered from cackle before when speaking of turkeys. I have...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    You don't have to worry about ducks, turkeys, or geese this late in the year, you can't get them if you want. If you ask for meat chickens you will probably get some. I know others have. I don't know about getting turkens though. You would definitely get some cornish or red broilers if you ask...

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    If you get the mystery there is no guarantee of what you are getting. Just a heads up. I received five rouens in my box I think. I think I have read that the later in the year you order the better the assortment, though you can put on what you don't like and they try and accomadate I think. Even...

    Which is better Cakle or Murray

    I have had good success with the cackle order I received last week, though it is my first one with them. I do have more on order from them later this month shipping. I have never ordered from mcmurray, they look fine just a little higher usually. Also had good success with townline if they have...

    Hatcheries?

    Cackle will let you order a very small amount of birds, but it is expensive because of the special shipping requirements and it would still be coming through the mail and probably dealing with an ignorant usps

    Hatcheries?

    I have used townline on at least three different occasions and I just used cackle this past week and have not lost one bird because of the hatchery or the usps. I have lost birds because I smash them later accidentally with the chicken tractor or something like that and one time my father in law...

    Hatcheries?

    Sure there is a better way, go and pick them up at a hatchery. Or probably better yet, pick them up from a breeder locally. That will take more effort to line up what they have, and what you want though. I can understand the frustrations of stressed chicks, but I have yet to loose a chick that...
