I searched the Welp threads here and most are from last year.
I was wondering if anyone has ordered Gold Lace, Blue or Black Wyandottes from Welp. Are they decent birds (I am not expecting show quality)? I have been reading how some breeds from certain hatcheries are smaller than the breed is supposed to be. I'm hoping they are true in size. I'm also after some nice Delawares and/or Barred Rock. If I make an order through Welp for the Wyandottes, I'll get my Dels and/or Rocks at the same time. Any experience with those breeds from them?
I'm pretty much just after eggs and a full freezer, but if my kids show an interest in showing chickens, I wouldn't object. Welp seems to be the only hatchery with Blue and Black Wyandottes right now. I see Purely gets them seasonally, but I don't feel like waiting around forever. Plus, I am not thrilled about having to spend an extra $20 in shipping. $4.10 a chicken for 15 through Purely compared to $3.33 per chicken for 25 through Welp. But, if Welp's chickens aren't decent, I don't want them.
Thanks in advance!
