ideal poultry

So ... I am wanting to switch to meat birds. I would like to be able to kill one per week or so. I have heard great things about Ideal in Cameron, Texas, and that's the vendor I am leaning towards, with either their black or red broilers. I am avoiding the Cornish varieties because they are not...

I ordered a bantam assortment of all feather legged from Ideal Poultry awhile back. I also added four EE bantams to the order so therefore technically the ONLY clean legged birds I should’ve received aside from extras would be the EEs. I received all my feather legged birds and three confirmed...

Just placed an order at Ideal Poultry, I’ve ordered once from them before but it was YEARS ago maybe in 2014. My orders due to ship 08/09 so I’m excited to hear from people about their experiences with Ideal nowadays! My first ever order from them I ordered 8 assorted bantams and received 20...

Hello everyone. Does anyone here know the Easter Egger genetics ,or cross breeds of Ideal poultry? From what I’ve learned so far Easter Eggers are a “mutt” and are not a recognized breed to the APA. They have genetics of the Ameraucana and some other breed. I did reach out to Ideal poultry...

Hi there -- new to chickens and looking to start a small mixed flock of 8 of the basic backyard birds, and trying to decide where to order from. I would like only 1-2 of each breed, so this eliminates hatcheries with a minimum requirement like Cackle and Hoover's. McMurray and Meyer do not...

I mean, without breeding to white. I'm thinking about ordering some black silkies from Ideal Poultry and I wanna know if I'm getting a true black. They state on their website that their chicks are purebred so does that mean that the black silkies have no blue in their genes? Thanks in advance.

So we have a two week old Self Blue d'Anver chick, Fig. We got him February 11th along with 16 other varied bantams (*not Ideal's choice of assorted bantams, we picked them all out ourselves!). I got three d'Anvers in total, 1 Quail d'Anver, 1 Blue Quail d'Anver, and the chick of the hour, Fig...

Hello guys I am considering purchasing black Shamos from ideal poultry, but want to know how they would look like when they are older in the 8 months plus range because the pictures I have seen are of younger chickens none of older ones thus far. Also, how are their temperaments to other...

Hi friends, i like to buy some magpie ducklings this spring, but either the hatcheries have a 15 duckling limit or they don't deliver to WV, all but http://www.idealpoultry.com Has anyone ever ordered ducklings from them?

how are the Cornish rocks that ideal pumps out? I accidentally posted this elsewhere and wanted to move it. Anyone had experience this year?

My name is Nathan and I am with Ideal Poultry. We've been missing the last few years from the forums, and I'm relatively new with Ideal, so I thought I'd introduce myself! I work in the hatchery here at Ideal Poultry, and I'm part of the 4th generation of the Fuchs family that owns and operates...

I ordered chicks from Ideal Poultry and they were shipped on Tuesday. I called today because the post office still has not received them. The last tracking scan was in Texas on Tuesday so no one has any idea where they are... :( While I am sure that Ideal will make it right for me, I am...

Hello, I'm having a shipment of bantam chicks coming in tomorrow from Ideal Poultry, and I am curious about anyone's experience with the hatchery. Have it been a positive or negative experience? What was the quality of the chicks once they grew up? I want to know what to expect.
