Ideal Hatchery review

[Pete fernBonnie]

I have just recently ordered from ideal hatchery and they are coming in a few days. I ordered 4 blue polish and 6 assorted silkies. Has anyone ordered any of these breeds? I want to see pictures of them! I am really excited but nervous that they will be low quality. I have been looking around all morning,

and there have been a lot of bad reviews but those reviews were from 5 years and they could have changed by then!

Hi,

I get Ideal chicks all the time as live only about 100 miles away and the local feed store carries them as well. I cannot speak to the quality as far as breed standard, but I have always gotten healthy chicks with very few losses. Their customer service has always been good as well. I have rocks, wyandottes and RIR all from there. Good Luck with your new babies.

I've ordered from Ideal Hatchery a number of times and have always been happy with their service and birds. I ordered Black Silkies and Golden Polish from them about 20 years ago and they were good birds, but I no longer raise either breed so unfortunately, I can't take any pics to show you. Good luck with your order.

I was living on the big island of Hawaii when I ordered the Silkies and Polish, and the chicks arrived safely, so I don't think NC will be any problem.

I just got 25 assorted Silkies from Ideal last week and all arrived alive. I live in VA.I think they have more colors than other hatcheries. I also got 4 in my feather legged bantam assortment.

What breeds do you think you've gotten? I signed on to wait list for feather legs and dark brown egg layers

The birds in the photo are all Silkies. The feather legged assortment will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. Most of them are Cochins in various colors + 1 buff Brahma, 1 Porcelain & 1 brown red d'uccle and a possible white and the 4 Silkies.
