Comments regarding Welp Hatchery

I ordered 100 chicks from Welp Hatchery. They were hatched off on July 29, 2007 and arrived at my Post Office on August 3rd.
I ordered 100 and received 103. They arrived during an extended heat wave with temperatures of over 100 degrees everyday for several weeks. I kept them on the back porch with a fan running at each end of the brooder and they thrived. As of today, November 9, 2007, all 103 are healthy and growing like crazy.
Of the 100 chicks I ordered (70 hens and 30 straight run, 5 different breeds) I was amazed and pleased to find that only 10 were roosters!
I will definitely order again. Also, having shipping included in the price of the chicks is very, very helpful, eliminating all of the figuring.

I order my chicks exclusively from Welp's, and have had positive experiences with them every time. When I order meat birds straight run, I get a pretty even mix of sexes, not predominantly females like some other hatcheries. My last batch was for 50 birds. I received 54 and raised them all on pasture without a loss. The chicks were remarkably vigorous and grew impressively! I've also ordered mixed batches of laying pullets and have been pleased with their quality. Customer service is excellent--prompt, friendly, and helpful. I really appreciate the charge per chick includes shipping, so I know what I'm really spending on the order from the onset. You need to do your homework on raising poultry before ordering from a hatchery if you want to be successful. When you are ready to order, I highly recommend Welp Hatchery to give you a great start!
