1. You are correct. I have found Ideal Poultry to be cheaper then McMurry hatchery. I am sure there are other hatcheries out there that are cheaper. But, Ideal Poultry does have a very good price. They also seem to have more verities of breeds then most hatcheries that I have seen. I personally would go with what ever hatchery you find is closer to where you live. This is because the longer the trip to your home the more chicks there are that are going to die on the way there. So I hope that you are also taking that into consideration. Also, many people say that some birds from this hatchery or that one are not as freindly as their chicken from another hatchery. This isn't true. Some birds are naturaly mean and some are just nice. There are also the many birds that were not raised correctly and became mean. I see nothing wrong with that hatchery and nor do the many people that order from them. If they were selling bad chicks they wouldn't be in business. Good luck,
2. I've never ordered from Ideal Hatchery, but, their prices are cheaper than Mcmurray...hmmmm (Beware of Mcmurray, though. Last time I ordered from Mcmurray and was very displeased. They have a few good breeds but most of their stock just plain sucks, and they charge and arm and a leg )
