Most hatcheries sell Delawares or even sex link roos. McMurray sells heavies... cochins, brahmas, delwares etc....

I bougth my Dominiques from Ideal. A few of mine grew very fast and large, and some are rather small. Someone told me their dominiques grew very big and plump.

If I was concerned about size, I wouldn't buy from a hatchery. I'd shop around for a good breeder raising the bird I was interested in.

I went with hatchery for my Dark Cornish becuase I was in a hurry and didn't know what I was doing. They are okay, but jusr okay. Now I'm going to be shopping around for some good breeding stock to pump up the genetics.

Oh, and if you want a duel purpose breed, you are going to want more than roosters. Otherwise, there is no point to other half of the dual.

ok let me explain bettwer what i want im looking to order 50-100 roosters for meat purposes. I am looking for hatchery that sells the old style rhode island reds not the bred down ones or other REAL dual purpose breeds do yall understand what i mean i want TRUE meat purpose roosters and im not interested in CORNISH ROCKS so dont imply them

There is a guy in PA that sells them. He is supposed to have the best stock around.... before they started mixing production breeds into them. He said he has the purest lines around. I talked to him on the phone a few months ago, as he we trying to sell me some of them. Honestly though, I blew it off, and can't remember if I saved his number or not. If I find it I will let you know.

I'm going to take a complete guess but I believe it was Knob Poultry? A shear guess but will look for you.

I use the cornish crosses which is why I didn't think anything of it.
