I got it last year and was very happy. There were about 10 or 11 different breeds in the 25 chicks I got, including some Polish.

Barred Rocks.
Rhode Island Reds
Partridge Rocks

2 roos/ 25 is about what I've consistently gotten from MM when ordering all pullets--sex-link excepted. 92% is a good average for day-old sexing. Interestingly, BTW, I did get 6 straight run EE's from them this spring and it seems only 2 are roos.

I caved and ordered today. I am suppose to expect them between Thursday and Saturday of next week.

Can't wait, cleaned all the brooding items and ready to go.
