And you and I both know that you can have a happy accident, where a breeder supplying a hatchery is also working on improving their breeding line. That's how I ended up with Thor. Most of my dark brahma hens are very close to the standard too, with the exception of Lil' Bit and Girlie.
If you want show quality birds, then fine - pay the price and get them. If all you are after is nice pets, that are good egg layers then there's nothing wrong with hatchery quality birds, IMO.
