Thanks for the replies. I try to get my birds from local breeders when I can but there are a few breeds I can't find anyone selling around here like partridge brahmas, rouen ducks, or bourbon red turks.

Sally sunshine has Partidge Brahma eggs if your willing to hatch she is very reputable so her birds would be healthy therefore the eggs would result in healthy chicksThanks for the replies.

I ordered from McMurray last year in August. I really probably only needed 8. but their minimum was 15. I went with the rainbow layers bargain and added two extra EE to make sure I got a couple plus their free chick. All 18 arrived healthy. I lost one at about a week-- failure to thrive kinda thing. It was happy and healthy until suddenly it was not and all the others were huge compared to it. I expected loss… in fact, being my first time, I expected MORE loss to the point that I was sure I would end up with my original goal of 8. Right now, 8 months later, I have 15 laying hens and one rooster free ranging in my orchard. My only other loss was on Christmas day, to a hawk. If I needed 15+ chickens, I would look to McMurray firstAnyone had any experience with Cackle Hatchery? Do they have good, healthy chicks?
And I saw one post approving of McMurray. Anyone else have any experience with them?
