    Which hatchery should I use?

    I have gotten chicks from several hatcherys mcmurry, ideal, central hatchery, mt healthy, privet, and the last I got were from sandhill preservation center who as someone stated try to keep the breeds as close to standard as possible. they really went the extra mile for customer service for me...

    therry that depends on who you ask ? i never vaccinate a chicken or chick.. i want my flock to be immune to all diseases naturally and if they are not i want some that are. i lose very few as in less than 10% chicks hatched in a year and i will hatch 500 or so. i lose less than 1% chickens...

    that depends on who you ask. some people say never wash an egg. i say if its dirty wash it. my answer comes from our poulty industry almost every egg they set is washed and they hatch millions if not billions of chicks yearly. others my speak up just my opinion :) good luck hatching them
