Quality of birds from Sand Hill Perseveration?

[PioneerChicks]

Hello all! I am wondering if anybody has bought from Sand Hill Perseveration, and if so, what did you think of the quality of the birds there? From there website, they see pretty good. They claim they breed to the Standard, and breed for temperament too. I am specifically looking into the rosecomb RIRs, Hollands, and speckled Sussex. Any info appreciated, pictures welcome!

Not good, they breeds aren't pure anymore.
There are pictures in the middle of the cochins vs orpingtons thread

Is that only for certain breeds or all of their poultry? I find that hard to believe, maybe I am too trusting.

They seem alrighr, but i can't get any since they don't have set shipping times, it's up to them whenever birds ship

I think that's because they are more like large business breeders than a hatchery.

I was literally going to tag @The Moonshiner to add some photos of the "Cochins" he received from them. There is also a thread in the hatchery section about Sandhill Preservation and the experiences that people have had with them. There are photos in that thread as well.

You can search "Sandhill" posted by me and find several posts.
Every bird ive gotten from them were a bad representation of the breed. One variety wasn't even the right breed.
Their service and customer service is just as bad more often then not.
