Anyone know a good Barred Rock breeder near northern Idaho?

Somewhat new to the area and having trouble finding good quality stock here. Most of the hatcheries that ship chicks out seem to have super late hatch dates for barred rock because everyone is buying chickens due to Covid-19... I already have a flock of barred rock chickens but would like to add to it. My current birds are all from the feed store and I worry about potential health issues when they get older as I doubt they were bred for health/quality. Ideally I would like some breeder quality birds, but I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hi there.

I don't know if you've had any luck in your search yet. Here's a link to the BYC Breeders' Directory. I don't think there's anyone from Idaho but you may be able to find someone to help you out.

Thank you for the response. I did see that list before. Hopefully we will eventually get an idaho breeder

I ended up getting 16 new chicks from Mt. Healthy as I have heard good things about them and managed to snag a good hatch date. So much for getting birds from a breeder lol.

I know right?! It's got to be frustrating.

We're working on redesigning the page, and hopefully it'll get promoted a lot more once it's done & we'll get more people to register.

Glad you managed to find some birds

It definitely seems like a useful project, both for the breeders and for the people looking to buy birds. I look forward to seeing it progress. In the meantime, hatchery stock is still pretty cute if you ask me lol
