We have been raising Schlecht Hatchery Chickens for over 25 years. We first did it for our own use while raising our six children and then got away from it for about 7 or 8 years. When our oldest son got married, his in-laws talked us back into raising chickens again. In the last twelve years we have raised from 300 to 1000 chickens per year. We also raised turkeys over those years but got away from them two years ago when one of our other sons got married in Colorado. Just didn't want to have our hired help contend with turkeys as they can be hard to raise when you are with them everyday yourself. We have high regards for Etta and her family as they live and breath their job during the hatch period. We will be returning for years to come or our health runs out. Our recommendations are very high where Etta and her family are concerned.

concerned with the late arrival (chicks usually arrive on the 7 AM truck).
On arrival one duck was dead, but everything else was healthy and very
strong.
No extra help was needed to get them settled in. This was our 6th order
this year, and your chicks, ducks and gosslings were more vigorus than
what we bought from larger hatcheries.
Previous orders, from the other guys have include hlaf dead on arrival and
such weak birds that losses were heavy during the first 24 hours. My
daughter also pointed out - no runts, not even among the 52 cent birds.
This morning your birds ALL looked great. We are very pleased and
impressed - we will be buying from you in the future! We needed some
"fresh blood" in our poultry project and we are very pleased with what you
have provided.
Just one question: A couple of birds have nacked necks - are these
Turkins? No problem, we were just wondering.
Many Thanks,

I want to thank you so much for the pleasure your ducks have given our residents and I at my Development. I absolutely adore them. They are so much fun to feed and watch them play in the pond.

I am totally pleased with your service. I have about 4 dozen very nice
chicks from your eggs. You have mastered quality and packaging.
Thank you

Our kids spent the summer raising them. They are now fully grown. We
want to thank you for sending us such excellent, healthy ducklings. I
expected that we might lose one or two in shipping, or in the first few
weeks, but all grew well and flourished. Thank you.

My son decided to try your White Mallard last year at our county fair because they were different and unique. He came away with the Grand Champion Pair of Ducks and got lots of questions as to where he had got them. Thanks for such great service and high quality. All of his other poultry received blue ribbons.
