What's your favorite hatchery?

Just wondered. I like MPC, even though they order from other hatcheries, my birds that came from it are very pretty, sweet, and good layers.

My own incubator.

But, if I had to pick 1 commercial hatchery, it would be Ideal. You can't beat their customer service.

Cackle always gave me the least amount of hassle, but I don't order from any hatchery anymore. I order from SQ breeders here on BYC!

I wasn't sure if my internet order took the first time (it didn't, connection hiccup) and they got back to me really fast via email, and invited me to call and place my order if the internet way did not work out for me. That was nice.

I like my livingroom. That's my favorite hatchery. And Gryeyes' house. I've gotten some good birds from her. LOL.

In seriousness, I have never ordered from a hatchery, but I have personally bought chicks at local feed stores that came from Belt Hatchery in Fresno, and I have always had good luck with those chickens. I know others who can say the same.
