I have two beautiful Delawares that I got from a grower and I believe that they came from Ideal.

And they both lay nice big DARK brown eggs. I have a couple in the bator now that were bred by my GC Maran roo. Should be an interesting designer chick.

my Dels came from Ideal they are still young, I have 2 roos and 2 pullets
I'm going to get better stock from a breeder as soon as I can. I don't know about the other breeds.

I would think that Superior Farms would have the best quality of all for hatcheries because the breed to the standard and they actually show the birds they have.

I say you should get them breeders, especially the Dominiques, there is a breeder on here bobsbiddies that has great Dominiques, he hatches year round, sexes, and ships chicks and he has great prices. Here is a roo I bought from him as a chick ( the leader spike on his comb has been dubbed)

I have also been interersted in Bantam Faverolles and I have found breeders that have both Salmon and Blue Salmon, so if you are intereted in eggs from them, you can email or PM me and I'll get you a list of people who has them.
