Buying chickens

[aart]

but I want them to have good breed standards according to apa

Then I'd buy from a good breeder, rather than any old hatchery.
Most hatcheries do not focus on the SOP, they just want to sell chicks.
What breeds are you interested in?

Oh, and......Welcome to BYC! @Poultryrgreat
Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

I am interested in almost any breed I am located in Alberta well it is pretty cold here right now it’s -30C we have pretty cold winters. I was already thinking I might get from a breeder but around where I live people don’t really care about SOP they have chicken for eggs and meat.
