There are peafowl on ID craigslist

Quote: Confirm or deny what? That there are no documented pure birds? The bird is the breed if it fits the Standard, it doesn't matter how that bird came to be bred. You can go make your own Delaware however you want, and if it fits the Standard of Perfection, it's a Delaware. You can...

Instead of repeating what other people have already said (because I agree with what most have already said), I'll just ask if you've looked into Genetic Hackle birds?

Cackle is (I think) the only "big" hatchery with LF Old English: https://www.cacklehatchery.com/black-breasted-red-standard-old-english-chicks.html

Where exactly on the Tractor Supply site can you even review Barred Rock chicks?

This has been my general experience with getting birds at TSC also. Go in for a couple of ducks and they give me a deal to take everybody in the bin.

Central Hatchery if you are looking for lots of production birds.

Hamburg maybe

Cackle has them in their catalog this year

For the record, the price has gone up to $75 (shipping included) for 2017.

I'd guess Langshan or Marans mix.

I've butchered and eaten lots of breeds, many considered fine to excellent table breeds like Houdan and Marans. Still haven't butchered and eaten Bresse (found out the cock I posted above is Bresse--so I may hatch some Bresse X eggs) or Dorking. For the most part I wouldn't say one breed...

This guy showed up on my property today. Bresse, er no?

With the breeds that are only sold as Straight Run (like the bantams) I'd say I've gotten a good 50/50 average--that's over a few years, ordering specific breeds straight run or assortments that include straight run. You're taking a risk anytime you order sexed breeds as straight run--then I'd...

Cross beak can also be caused by nutritional deficiencies or the chick's position in the egg--neither would be the hatchery's fault. If the issue is happening across various breeds, I'd personally suspect a nutritional deficiency (smaller or less assertive chicks not getting to feed perhaps?)...

I don't believe that Cackle sells anything remotely resembling what you describe as a Rainbow. McMurray sells a new fast-growing-high-production-blue-egg layer called a Whiting True Blue and a Pioneer (also called Dixie Rainbow) which is a multi-colored dual purpose broiler-thing. Meyer sells...

I'll also vote for New Hampshire. I have always been happy to raise hatchery or breeder-sourced New Hampshires. Right now I've got 40+ 7-week old chicks from Cackle in the grow-out pen. There are Chantecler, New Hampshire, Delaware, White Rock, Columbian Rock, Naked Neck, Marans and several...

Do you know where the feed store gets their chicks? A local person or shipped in from a hatchery? I'd be inclined to think perhaps a Dixie Rainbow or some other colorful broiler.

For "old bird" recipes look into old cookbooks--books that predate the modern broiler. Check thrift stores, etc. There are a few other books that specialize in olde-time cookery if you look around. I have one called "Forgotten Skills of Cooking"--it's Irish and well done. It's a bit...
