Is it worth it?

I was looking into buying some of these bantams. I already spoke with the owner about temperament and things like that... Do the birds look healthy? I think they do but I wanted others opinions before I commit.

It looks like breeds too many different types to assure good quality in the chicks. The best ones I would say would be the Birchen Cochins

Thank you!

Agreed. Most look like hatchery quality birds. BlackHackle is right, the Birchen Cochins are probably the best quality out of the bunch. If your just wanting fun backyard birds or project birds to breed and improve they'd be just fine. If you looking for potential show birds or birds that fit the standard, keep looking. A far as health they look good. I don't see any signs of illness from these pics.

How about the EEs and the D’uccles how do they look?

I’m doing this for my backyard flock (no showing involved)

They look quite fine for a backyard flock

Okay thanks! (Sorry for even more questions but-) So that’s a good deal? And I should buy them? I really want to be sure before I go through with this that they look good!

That is a really good deal. The cheapest I pay for chicks is $12 each and $25-$50 per chick on average
