I don't know if I should order from McMurray or MyPetChicken

Which one has better quality birds? Better shipping?
McMurray carries breeds/types like White Jersey Giants and White Sultan Bantams, unlike MPC, but MPC carries Marans, Sexed Blue Cochins ,and prices are a bit lower on some. When I look at what I would purchase, the amount is fairly the same when it comes to money, so I'm mainly worried about the quality. For example, McMurray says Faverolles are mainly bred for ornamental qualities, does it mean they don't breed for egg laying (I heard they lay pretty well)?
I've also heard about some shipping problems with McMurray...
Any thoughts?

Okay one thing I will always say: They're both hatcheries, so they'll both have terrible quality birds. But I will also say that I know for sure McMurray's crested birds, especially their houdans, are usually downright ugly. I got lucky with my WCB Polish.

The second part is - Don't let the "ornamental" part fool you. Since they're hatcheries, they breed for egg quantity, so even the "ornamentals" will lay a lot. I count on my Polish for eggs more than I do my Wyandottes.

Yeah I know the quality will not be the best, that's a no brainer..

I was just wondering which ones looked better.. I'm having trouble wording that, hehe..
