New Hampshires from Estes?

[catfish/okie]

Has any one out there bought NHRs from Estes Hatchery? If so did you like?

I havent dealt with them Estes before. Do you have some? And
if you do, how do they look? Good Hamps are hard to find.

I bought mine at Orchlens Farm Store. They get theirs from Estes. Sorry I have no digital camera. I got 2 pullets one is as big as the buff orpington I got from them and is darker ( not quite as dark as a RIR) with black flecks on her neck and wings and a black tipped tail. The other is smaller (more leghorn sized) lighter red with just a few black flecks on her neck and a black tipped tail. I think they must be 2 different strains. I dont believe their show types but they are very vigerous and healthy. I like them so much that I sometimes think about going with just New Hampshires. Thought about buying chicks from Estes Hatchery just wanted to ask if any body has had expirience with them. I will try to get pictures to post. Thank you very much for responding. They are 19 weeks old today.

of that hatchery on here before. Im sure someone will have input.
