PS After quarantine is over for a new bird9s), I'll put cull chicks 3-4 months old in with them. Chicks stay healthy for 3-4 weeks, the new birds are ok. IF NOT QUARANTINE FOR EVER AND EVER, with anti mycoplasma med for 3 weeks before hatching eggs.

Susan, My guess is they still contract with flocks/private breeders. Depending on the breeder's health of the flock is what you get. The flocks they have there, what you get depends on the health of that flock. It was silkies that this breeder ordered from McM that wiped him out. Back in the 1990's you could SQ polish and really decent silkies from them.
Cackle it was their Delawares and a Delaware cross I've forgotten the name of that made my chicks sick and killed them. I avoid both now. The rudeness and stupid responses of the owner were insult to injury. Put the few that lived to 3 weeks down. Not worth it.
I also avoid Sandhill because their barrd holland and another heirloom chicks were not only the wrong colored legs but had weak, soggy, sick bodies. I helped a friend by putting them in their own barn with a brooder. I used every skill in the book and their chicks were sick chicks that slowly died and made cull chicks I put with them have the same sickness, killing them. We got rid of them, put them down and vowed to let the world know. Sandhill had all kinds of excuses that were stupid, nonsense. I stay away from these 3 hatcheries.
