Ideal never produce any IDEAL birds, just pets. Not for showing.

However I do like their Spitzhaubens. Here is the pic of my two year old Spitz girl.

she is not of good quality but its a start for having a good tuff on her head. Out of 27 Spitz pullets I had, only two had that same tuff on their heads to work with. The others looks like Polish mop heads which it is a no no in the spitz breed.

I got Faverolles from Ideal. They are completely pet quality, but they have the greatest personalities!!

Polish roosters from the top hat special, nearly adults:

When I ordered the top hat special I got 4 polish roosters, 1 sultan rooster, and a crevecoeur pullet. I highly recommend the crevecoeur, I love that bird! They are similar to Houdans and Polish. I also owned a Houdan from Ideal once, and she was a very friendly pet.


All of these birds came from Ideal.

Andora, I don't want to hijack this thread (Sorry chickencarmer

), but do you happen to have any pictures of the Sultan? I'm trying to compare quality of Sultans from different hatcheries and I have yet to see one from Ideal.
