Yes; least the ones in Tn that I have seen.
Pretty sure Hoover’s supplies most places. Lol TSC, my COOP’s, RK…
Was informed Hoover now owns 6 hatcheries across the states. They bought out Privetts, in New Mexico.
Don’t have an issue with Hoover’s. Most of our birds have come from that...
For those who have been dealing with chickens for years; yes that may just be accepted. But I’ve only been doing this a few years & am constantly learning. So finding that out is a let down.
Honestly, I’m not sure it does vary wildly.
I just had a massive bad experience w McMurray. (Posted about it tonight here too.)
What it’s looking like is all the hatcheries use each other for various breeds.
In my area, it seems Hoover’s is favored hatchery as both Rural Kings & my local feed...
