Your favorite Hatchery?

[U_Stormcrow]

as your location may make a local hatchery more or less preferential to you, particularly given the USPS problems this year, I'm Quoting @aart here:


Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

and in answer to your question, I don't have one. All my original stock, apart from a rooster I rehomed, came from TSC, which in my area, means Hoover Hatchery. They were all right/just Ok, but in no way spectacular..

Now trying to breed what I want from what I've got.

When I get there, if I get there, then I'll engage in some self promotion and list myself. Until then, I will comment only that the posters here, anecdotally, seem to prefer Meyers and Cackle to Hoovers, while McMurray is noted for just a couple breeds.

My Pet Chicken... more expensive for some breeds, but worth it IMO.

Hi all, was wondering what y'alls favorite hatcheries are.

The hatcheries can be Chicken, ducks, geese, anything! I'm looking into where I should buy my chicks

Murray mcmurray hatchery or McCarroll's Hatchery in Clayton Ohio

Had good experiences from Meyer. Ordered twice, all chicks alive and perky upon arrival. Very quick shipping. They will call you and ask if you want a substitute if something doesnt hatch well. They will also refund your money if one if your pullets end up a roo. Their staff were all super nice when i called. I highly recommend them.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice something here? Hint, look at the photos.

Plenty of hatcheries are simply resellers for other's flocks.

My Pet Chicken is a reseller. A lot of hatcheries orders are filled by other hatcheries.
