My 60 Cornish cross chicks just arrived, all alive from Central Hatchery. They came from Nebraska to Rhode Island, shipped on Wednesday. All of the chicks are healthy and already eating! I paid $59.00, shipping included, for these 60 chicks! Everytime I called, I got the same gentleman who was very polite and helpful. He even shipped my order before my payment arrived (they only take check or money order and I was a little late, he got the payment the day after they shipped out). Run, don't walk, over to the Central Hatchery website and place your order for chicks now! Did I mention that I called them only about 3 weeks ago and I already got my chicks?! No crazy 2 month+ wait!
They are nice people, I havn't heard much talk about them in the past and just happend to stumble on their website while doing a couple of searches. They should do good as they sell ross 508 which is a good cross.
I've always gotten my birds from them since they are close. never lost one of their chicks brian harlow
I'm in NE toooooo!! I almost ordered from Central but I had already placed an order with McMurray. I'll likely order some from Central next year.
Central is the best for the Cornish X's. I have been group buying from them for years with great results and someone else turned me onto them that had used them for a long time before. I've got 48 growing out back right now. This year a friend wanted to throw in a 100 Sil-go links that did excellent also. Your first order you have to pre-pay with a check but after that they will just send you a bill for later orders. They are great to work with and have the healthiest birds that I have seen shipped. I think anyone using them would be quite pleased. They only offer a few varieties and sell out pretty quickly on hatch dates though. I see that this is an old post but all still applies.
