What is the best hatchery

[Chicken0Boy]

I want to buy 9 silkies, 2 easter eggers, 2 Delawares, 2 Lakenvelders, (maybe a turken)......So what is the best hatchery for me to order these......Any hatchery will be okay but I want one with decent quality, good live rate, and friendly people! Any sugestions?

The quality of all hatchery stock is in a constant descent, so either one will be great.

wait...did you mean "decent" quality?

Technically you won't get good quality from hatcheries, and each one has their faults on which breed of theirs is uglier. I know some who have really good polish compared to others, but terrible Wyandottes compared to others. And then there are some with absolutely ugly Silkies, and some with normal hatchery quality Silkies.

For the breeds you're asking of, almost every well known hatchery has those, and most all have similar stock except the Silkies and Lakenvelders - Those can vary.

As for the rate of live chicks and the service, I've heard a lot of good feedback on MyPetChicken and Cackle Hatchery.
