I am trying to find out the best place to get a Heritage line of RIR (non industrial) birds. I see that Cackle Hatchery has a line, of production reds and then RIR single comb breed. Anyone had any experience with this Hatchery or their offering? How close to the SOP is this variety?
I have searched and seen that Ideal Hatchery and Sandhill Hatchery both offer the Barred Holland. What experiences has anyone had with Barred Hollands from either of these?
Thank you for the add, I am new to rasing chickens, I currently have a flock of 9 Cornish Rock crosses raising for meat, and 10 Red Star's I am raising for eggs. I am excited to learn as much as I can on the site!
