Pure Buff Orps???

[redsoxs]

Hi, Buff Lovers....I hope I can intrude with a question. I have a big mixed flock of chickens, including some Buff Orps. It wasn't until I found BYC that I learned that sometimes hatcheries don't sell "pure" lines. I am writing because I work with a lady who is looking for pure heritage Buff Orps for her daughter who is heavily into 4-H and the County Fair. She was disappointed last year to learn her Buffs she entered were not up to standard. Are there any hatcheries out there from whom a person can secure what she is looking for? Or does it have to be a breeder? And does that mean show quality? As you can see this isn't my area of expertise and any help you can provide would be much appreciated! Thank you!

There are few hatcheries that sell birds that come anywhere near that breeds standards. Urch and turnland is one of the few that do.
