My first chicks came from MM-- they sent extras, one died with in a few days and a few were males. Since then I have been looking for breeders in my area to find non-hatchery bred birds, the real heritage standard size fowl. YOu can look for a poultry club in your area, and contact the secretary. THe secretary knows EVERYONE.
My MM flock---My girls are nice, the RIR are crabby, and the birds are small for the breeds. THey are more efficient layers though, so if you just want layers in a variety o colors SOme breed forage more than other.
Don't take the free extra as it is usually a boy.
