I'm ordering from Ideal hatchery and have never ordered from them before. I would like to get some comments about your business with them. I would like to know- the heath of your chicks, if the time they said your chicks would arrive was correct, and if you go what you wanted. The more and sooner the post he better! Thanks!

Welcome to BYC!

I have never ordered from Ideal Hatchery, so I can't tell you much. But here is a page out of our archives with many threads on this hatchery. Maybe these will help you decide....

Good luck with ordering chicks! I have found that most hatcheries do their best with selling you the best quality they can and try to get them to you in good order. Many times things go bad in shipping, not due to the hatchery itself.

Enjoy all your new adventures!

Yes to all of your questions. Cackle hatchery is another good one. Have a good day.

Welcome to BYC. I've ordered chicks from Ideal hatchery several times and never any issues with the chicks.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! The Hatcheries forum also has threads on most of the big hatcheries https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/16/chicken-breeders-hatcheries

You do have to realize hatcheries are NOT selling show quality birds, at times they can vary quite a bit from the breed standard. That does not affect their laying ability.
