hatchery

I bought some chicks from Stockdale's. It is my first time buying from them and I am curious to know which hatchery they use. I typically use breeders except for 1 other time, went to tsc which uses hoover. I like to look up their photos if possible. Thanks

I ordered a mixed selection of pullets from a hatchery, they unfortunately don't tell you what breeds they send. I do know that they are true breeds, so my question is when do they start to take on their final feathers so that you can determine the breeds? I have so many and trying to guess...

hi everybody! I have never raised chickens (but my father has) and we want to get a few, but our city doesn’t allow them! We were thinking that maybe we could keep chickens at a nearby farm and collect the eggs there, but they won’t live on our property. It’s like a person who practices...

I recently had an idea of buying hyline brown chicks from a hatchery and selling them in my area. I have researched and I would be the only one selling them in my area and have also heard of people going miles to another person selling them. I have bought feeders, drinkers, bedding & wire, but I...

What would be better to do to obtain good show birds....Buying from a local breeder, or ordering from hatchery? I like doing both, but night sure would be best. I hear....and for me it is true....That raising chicks, you "bond" better than older birds. What is your opinion, thoughts, or advice...

Hi! It's HawaiiAraucanas! I'm a young pre-chicken keeper living in Hawaii. The place I am getting my two chicks from (Probably) is 'Asagi Hatchery'. I just wanted to see if any other Chicken keepers from Oahu got their chickens from Asagi. If you got chickens (Or chicken and Supplies) from...

If a hatchery has chicks sold out, will there be more chicks?

Gonna try meat birds next spring. I'd like to know how the Ideal CX are. Do you have to limit feed from day one? How did they turn out? Would you recommend? If not, why not? Healthy? I'm staying away from the broilers b/c of the crowing in the neighborhood. Don't want to announce to the...

I thought there was a hatchery that raised naked necks and barred rocks that were oversized for meat. Does anyone know the name of it?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have had my backyard flock for about 2 years now but I am just starting to get serious about all of it. Love raising chickens and I hope to build a business around it. I just started incubating my own eggs and have successfully...

I have been thinking about getting some Salmon Faverolles recently and I've read a few threads about them. Some people say that some of the hatchery birds don't have the five toes, beards, and muffs. Does anybody know if the chicks sold from Meyer Hatchery stay true to their breed or not? It's...

Hello. I'm looking into expanding my flock into an all out business and have been looking around the internet for information. I have found NPIP, and know it's testing for diseases in the flock, but exactly how the the process go? Do I need my flock all established and grown and laying eggs...

Hi everyone! So we got the ok from the village we just moved to recently that we can have four hens!! We brought our empty coop with us, (profile pic) so now we just need to find new babies. I've been online today searching for Buff Orpington chicks, one local hatchery an hour away wont sell...

I was wondering if anyone ahs ordered from hoovers hatchery. if not anyone have any good hatcheries????

Purchased 15 Black Sumatras from Murray McMurray. They arrived Wednesday the 7th. When I opened the box, most were on tiptoe smashed against one another in the corner. One was already dead. It took them some hours to come off their tiptoes. I wondered if they would forever walk oddly. I...
