Welp hatchery? Do they have high quality show birds?

[Bayrider16]

Guys, i need your help. Have any of you ordered SHOW chickens from Welp and recieved good ribbons? I usually order from McMurray hatchery, and i did GREAT at fair. But their completley out of everything i want, so im forced to go with Welp. I would like some pictures of your show birds from Welp, and please tell me the ribbon he/she recieved. Im very hesitant to go with Welp, since i loved the birds i got through McMurray. Thanks!! I would like pictures ASAP.

I've never ordered from Welp, but personally, I wouldn't show hatchery stock birds. There's a huge difference between show lines and feedstore/hatchery lines.
I would recommend you try to find a breeder of the breed you want and order eggs/chicks from them.

SilkiesForEver is correct, you won't find true show quality birds from any of the major hatcheries. You would need to find a breeder. What breeds are you looking for?

If you're showing 4-H, you're probably showing against other hatchery birds. Frankly, one hatchery bird is going to be pretty much same as the next. It doesn't really matter what hatchery you're going to.
