ISA Brown or Hubbard ISA Brown or Bovan

My order was pushed back to tomorrow too. I have 100 Isas, 25 California grays, and 50 broilers.

Yay!

All arrived safely (plus a few extras). Thanks Townline!

HLAC. They look very good. ISA are selling very good.
If you want some ISa's this year I would order now for your favarite date. We have a very good supply of cornishX also. Our prices are better then most hatcheries.

The chicks I got from tractor supply (from Townline) are doing well and growing out nicely. Hard to believe it's been 3-weeks already. No clue, had hoped all were going to be Isa Browns but when I look at them I think maybe one is , no clue on the others...lol. They were all in the bin marked red pullets. A couple had purple dye on them but nobody at TSC knew what that meant.

The dark brown one in the photo above looks like the ISA pullets from Townline that I have. The lighter ones are too light compared to mine, but too dark to be cockerels.

Mine are selling well. At the rate they're moving I'm not going to have any left to take to the swap!

The coloring on the others reminds me of buff orpingtons. A pretty soft very light caramel color. I only plan to keep 3 of the chicks the others will be re-homed soon.

Are these cold hardy?
I live in Colorado.
Anyone know if anyone selling them out here in Denver area?

I live in northern NV and our weather is quite similar to CO. My ISA's have done great. We have an 8 x 10 coop (wooden shed), no insulation, dirt/straw floor, chain link run with occasional access to pasture. We had some pretty wicked snow storms this year (another one tonight!) and the birds went out every day. I do keep additional light on in the winter because we have egg customers. But otherwise there are no special accommodations.

This is an old thread but I thought I'd post an update.

Today I got my first egg from the ISA chicks that arrived on March 17th.

Townline sent 78 ISA browns and at last count.. I still have 78. They als sent 28 cornishx (ordered 25) and all of them survived, at least until butcher time. (some I didn't process until 13 weeks because my schedule got crazy). They were still going strong even at that size and age.

I am very pleased with the birds and the hatchery.
