Well, we ended up going with a Ideal hatchery and ended up with some very healthy looking birds! We received our order of pullets which is 3 black australorps, 3 buff orpingtons, 3 easter eggers/ameraucana. Plus, they threw in what looks like 8 rhode island reds cockerels. That's 8 yummy dinners unless one ends up female and we like her
They are all perky, eating, drinking and walking around
