Meyer's staff is friendly and helpful, they spent a lot of time coordinating hatch dates with multiple breeds. We appreciated the e-mail and tracking. Chicks arrived the day following shipping.
They had more of the breeds that we wanted. They had a low hatch on GLW that we ordered and sent our choice replacements, free shipping.
1st order- BOs, Dominiques, Welsummers, & Speckled Sussex. Replacements - Ameraucanas, last order - Jersey Giants, Black Astralorps, SLW.
We got an instant response when one chick died 12 hours after we received our first shipment, they were compassionate and gave an immediate credit toward our replacements.
We just received our last batch of chicks from Meyer on July 26, 2011. They are lively, jumping and hopping like little bunnies.
This is our first experience with chickens and Meyer. We chose them because we wanted a hatchery close to our home, and they had more information about the breeds, allowing us to choose based on hardiness, temperament and purpose, (we wanted dual purpose).
They have a great catalog. The online catalog is beautiful, but get the print catalog, mine is already dogeared from the constant use it gets.
We hope to hatch our own, but already have our eye on breeds for next year. We will use Meyer again.
TWO THUMBS UP!!
