[rancher hicks]

I apologize for offending anyone but be that as it may, there are some who may think $20 is high for a chick but what you must keep in mind is.....

She has been working on these for a long time to develop them as close to the SOP as she can and that takes time and money. What you are paying for is not just the chicks but all her hard work. Kinda like a patent. She needs to recoup all the money and tiime she spent breeding and culling and all that stuff.

My hatchery buffs are yuk compared to these and hinkjc's are decent layers. Not all pure breeds are.
These are all the things we breeders of dual purpose birds work for. To have a good layer that has some meat on it's bones when it's done. That all roosters are nice and meaty and not throw aways.

What you get with hatcheries, not all but many are "terminal" birds. The roos are no good for meat and the hens are no good once she stops laying. Even in the "pure breeds" .


(Jody I apologize to you for referring to myself in the same class with you as a breeder, because I am not but I'm working on it.) Just with Delawares.
