Stromburg's?

[ndemerly]

Based on what I've learned from here is that they're a 'dropship' hatchery. I'm alright with that, however, does anyone know if they're birds come from other hatcheries (Ideal, McMurray, etc.) or from breeders as others have said. I am looking to purchase Russian Orloffs and Delawares from them. Pictures would be awesome, thanks in advance!

All I know is everything they sell is very expensive.

I believe Duane Urch is one of the main suppliers for Stromberg. He has a great reputation for outstanding stock and breeding to type.

Thanks, that's what I've heard also. I don't have a problem paying somewhat good money for quality chicks. Just wanted to make sure that they weren't being 'pawned' off from other, cheaper hatcheries.

I plan on buying the Breeder's Select wyandottes from Stromberg's this year. Duane Urch has very nice glw.

Strombergs has always provided us with good birds.
Never a problem.
They use top notch breeders.

I have ordered from many of the hatcheries and every year I order from my favorite and then add a new one or 2 to "test".

I recently purchased a duck from a lady that got him from Stromberg's and I think he is super so I have placed an order with them for March delivery of a few breeds. I do not think they are any more expensive than some of the others and you always get what you pay for as I have found out from ordering chicks from some other hatcheries.
I am excited about getting my orders every year and I usually hatch from my own birds, too. I have about 170 chicks and ducklings due this spring just from ordering.

I am sure you would like anything you get from Stromberg's.

I hope you order these breeds and let me know how they turn out! Neither breed is on Urch's list, so they wouldn't come from him...but still. I hope they are good.

P.S. These were my two breeds before I had to sell my flock and move to the city! You have great taste! Not knowing what Stromberg's are like, and if I was limited to a hatchery for my birds and looking to start over with my flock, I would order 100+ of each breed from Welp/Privett and select my breeding stock from there. My Welp Orloffs turned out pretty decent and I only ordered 5. I've also heard that the Privett Delawares are the way to go if you have to do hatchery.

Just something to think about.

Where do I find the Breeder's Select list? The website on Stromberg's is different from I remember. There used to be a list that had the highest quality breeder breeds in a different box, I think?
