    Anyone bought chicks from My Pet Chicken?

    Ideal Poultry in Texas has those breeds, as does Privett hatchery in New Mexico. (I've heard that Privett can be hard to get ahold of, but a nearby feed store buys exclusively from them and their chicks always look robust and healthy) eta: Oops. I got distracted and replied to the original...

    Anyone bought chicks from My Pet Chicken?

    I noticed a blue egg layer that is uniquely theirs: "Super Blue Egg Layer." There may be others. Perhaps an email to them would be the easiest way to find out, since that information is in the descriptions (unless I've missed an easier way to find it).

    Anyone bought chicks from My Pet Chicken?

    Martha Stewart buys her chickens from My Pet Chicken (read it on her blog the other day - a google hit for some breed that I was researching). I could have sworn that I also saw mention of birds being from a specific hatchery, as Pyxis has said, but couldn't find it when I looked just now...

    Niederrheiner Thread! All Colors!

    Greenfire's description currently (Feb 2017) states, "These are large fowl with the roosters sometimes topping 10 lb." So it sounds like they have reduced their original claim by quite a bit. What is the consensus so far on target weight for the standard?

    Have you looked at Erhard Weihs' birds? Kummer Poultry Farm: http://kummerpoultry.com/ I've been to his farm and was favorably impressed with his Russian Orloffs, although I was there to look at other breeds.

    Just to clarify, he does have LF Welsummers. They are on the bottom of the LF page.

    Aren't Welsummers and Speckled Sussex on your list? But there are other folks around too. Local feed stores are usually a good resource for names of people breeding/hatching.

    What varieties are you attracted to? There is Erhard Weihs (Kummer Poultry) in the Enumclaw/Black Diamond area. His website shows the main breeds he has, but a phone call would be more accurate.

    Pardon my ignorance.. I've only bought cats and dogs directly from a breeder, so when you mention farm tours & security risks it makes me wonder... assuming that you do not know of the breeder's reputation, how do you determine that their birds are worth purchasing without visiting their farm...

    Hi all! I'm in South King County. Had never heard of The Grange or Baxter Barn, so thank you for that info. Anyone know of actual breeders in Western Washington? I know of Erhard Weihs (Kummer Poultry Farm), near Black Diamond. We visited his place a few years ago to look at his...

    Russian Orloff Breeders??

    Erhard Weihs in Washington (near Black Diamond, WA) is breeding them. Or at least he was the last time I visited his place, a few years ago. http://kummerpoultry.com/

    Can't wait to see more pics as Stoo develops! Trisha, so sorry for the losses in your hatching. The little splash chick is sure interesting -- looking forward to more updates.
