Are any of you who hae ordered from Ideal willing to post pictures of your adult birds? I am trying to decide between hatcheries and would love to see your pics of your Ideal birds. Thanks!

Hello Soggy Northern California Chicken Peeps!!! I am looking for hatching eggs in Butte, Sonoma, Marin, Napa or Lake Counties. My preference would be Marraduna Basque, Pita Pinta, Barnevelder or any sort of Plymouth Rock other than Barred. That said I am willing to consider other breeds as...

Thank you that makes total sense!

Good to know This is great information thank you. I am pleased that you had such success with the eggs coming to you from Florida. I am hopeful that if I order eggs from GFF they will make it to my little rural CA town safely. Thank you.

I am also in CA. Thanks for your insights. You make a good point about the additional stress on the embryos.

I want to add Marraduna Basque hens to my flock. I ordered from Sandhill last year but they were unable to fill my order. Since, I have been looking for breeders and have struck out with the exception of GFF which offers them both on ebay and on their website. I am curious to know if...
