Anyone know this Australorp breeder in Ontario, Canada??

So, my original chick order fell through this morning d/t COVID19 complications, the hatchery is shutting down for the season.

I scoured the internet this afternoon and found this website

www.heritagebreedchickens.ca

Can't find any information about them online outside of their website. I've been in touch and they say they can have chicks for me for Easter weekend. They haven't asked for any money yet and I have no reason to believe that they're not legit, except that there's literally no online presence besides their website and a couple of ads on Kijiji. Australorps are hard to find around here and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of them or have dealt with them?

I expect to speak to them further, prior to any transaction but any info is appreciated.

Did you end up purchasing anything?

Did you end up purchasing anything?

I did! I got 26 - day old chicks about 4 weeks ago. We lost one in the first couple of days that just never thrived. I tried to prop her up but she didn't make it. The other 25 are doing great! I ended up purchasing from the breeder I was asking about. He is about 2 hours from my home and was able to pick them up. I think I actually ended up with way better birds than I would have gotten from a large scale hatchery. Also, being able to pick them up was really nice to save them from being shipped anywhere.
