    Which (if any) of the National Hatchery's Sell Show Quality Chicks?

    Hello, I've been thumbing through my new Welp brochure and they mention breeding towards the Standard. This got me thinking: Is it possible to order from any of the national hatchery's and end up with chickens that are Show Quality? Or is that a Dreamer's Fantasy? Thank you!
