I said Hi from Lubbock several months ago when I joined. Last week we were down in Rockdale to visit my Mother-in-law for a week and went by Ideal Hatcheries office in Cameron to pick up chicks twice. I just wanted to let everyone here know, if you are anywhere near them, picking up is the way to go. They were very nice and patient and couldn't have been better folks.

I had ordered 5 Silver Laced Cochin straight run, so that is what my wife went to pick up, but somehow 4 Gold Laced Wyandotte pullets jumped into the box too. She got back to her Moms and I told her we also needed a cockerel if we are going to have any more GL Wyandottes, so back she went. And also picked up 5 of the surprise special assortment straight run chicks! For a total of 15.

Awesome!
I hope you end up with a lot of girls in your straight run batches.

Any in the area of DFW looking for a sharp looking Cockerel/Roo, need to rehome a Easter Egger/Blk Cooper Maran Mix, he's a stunner already and not even 1 yr old!
Rehome fee.. Serious Inquires!
Would like to give him flock of great hens!
