Anybody ever got Brahmas, Excheucher Leghorns, Cochins, silies- Ideal?

[FF]

Hello. I am wanting to get me some silkies and some more cochins but only want a few. I was thinking about Brahams too. But has anybody got any of these breeds? Are the quality good? Looking more for White, black slikes. Thanks for any replys.

I got five Ex Leghorns from Ideal.
They are still quite young so it is hard to tell the quality. I am going to send pics to a breeder on the Prairies to ask their opinion,

Never ordered from Ideal but I think they are trustworthy

BTW: Did you ever get California Whites or no?

Yes i did. Any you know hat. I ordered 1 pullet at the last minute. I know I should have ordered more but I had alreday went over my spending limit. I didn't have them on my list. But i did say throw me in a califorina st run. I was thinking it was a pullet. She didn't have a real dark comb and was real nice..
And you know what? They lived for a long time, healthy and everything. they was out free ranging and guess what. A hawk got one the first day. Ok take one and leave. (by the way, I HATE hawks with a passion and absoultely despise those creatures) and everything was fine the next day and then the day after that it got one of my Production Red Pullets/rooster. Oh man I was mad. This was when they was 5-6 weeks old. Those were beautiful birds by the way. That hawk has got over 40 of my chcikens so far. I had 76 out of the batch I got from hoovers and I only have 49 now. So Ideal has them and I will get maybe 2this time if I order and see what i get. Thanks Mattew

I got 2 dark Brahma chicks from Ideal. They are cute & healthy & curious with nicely feathered legs. They are only 2 weeks old, so I have no idea how they will look once grown, but they should be fine for my backyard layer flock.

I ordered 15 pullets last year, 5 dark, 5 light and 5 buff Brahmas. They were sweet and calm and really nice looking birds. I sold them last month because I decided against breeding them. Well really I could not find a roo to save my life.
I just moved my new ones outside today that I got from Ideal, and they are all healthy, have good feathering, markings are correct. I am very pleased with them.
