Ordering Bielefelders From GFF and/or Omega Hills For Genetic Diversity

[chickluvrr]

After much consideration I've finally decided that Bielefelders seem to be the best fit for the traits I am looking for in my chicken flock. I plan to be prepared for my chicks in a few months and have been looking at both hatcheries for my stock. I would like to have at least 2 genetically dissimilar roosters to work with as I want a sustainable flock and would like to breed for my favored traits. I see that Omega has a nice starter flock for an attractive price but it includes only one rooster. I am leaning towards purchasing that starter flock and a few extra chicks from GFF to *hopefully* add that diversity I'm looking for but wonder if that would be enough. I know Omega's stock comes from GFF and that GFF imported more stock to diversify their flock in 2013. I think Omega got their stock before GFF's new imports but am not sure. I am hoping someone at these hatcheries or someone that has ordered Bielefelders from these hatcheries may be able to help me in my decision. Thanks!

The folks at Omega Hills are so helpful and quick to respond - I would just shoot them a note

(Waiting impatiently for my first Bielefelder's tooooooo . . . .)

So it's been almost 2 months . . . I have Bielefelders fro Greenfire growing like weeds !! ( They came to me as a happy accident)

Still waiting for my chicks from Omega Hills - can't wait to get them as well.
