Yay! That's where I got my 1st 16 birds. I got 6 meat birds, & the rest dual purpose birds. Last year they got a lot of their birds from Dunlap hatchery in iD. They had these ones that are gold sex links....I think they re the same as red stars....basically. A cross with a leghorn & Rhode Island red. I have 1(the other one died.) she is a super layer! A large egg every day. They were hatched on about March 3rd last year. She started laying at 19 weeks (July) and has missed about 4 days since. The only ones that are in my pics on my profile that are NOT from there are the BA, leghorn's & polish. I got those from Murray McMurray last June. Last year, big R. 'S 1st shipment of birds did not do well. It had been so cold, & the post office didn't call them on Sunday....that's what they told me. Looking at those chicks is like being in a candy store! When I went, I was only gonna get 6 birds. I ended up with 16. The meat birds were so good, I got 10 with my Murray order in June. I will get some more Cornish roasters this year. When I ordered, the post office did call me Monday morning at 4am. It was June & they were fine. That was very exciting, but it did cost me way more than the ones from big R.
