i haven't read through all the posts, buut I ordered from welps hatchery last spring, and they were wonderful. I ordered 7 breeds of chickens and 4 breeds of ducks. The birds were all healthy, and what few I lost to shiping were either replaced or credited to my account. They sent extra birds as well, so I did really well, The cornish x put on weight well, and my egg layers have all done beautifully. Some were rarer breeds, Anconas, magpie ducks, the rest were heritage breeds, RIR,BO,SLW,BA, Aand some cochins. My only complaint was that my cochin assortment ended up to be all black, and that my SLW were not marked as well as I would have liked, but i understand that is pretty common. Their customer service was excellent, and I adore my birds. if I had room i would order more this spring.
