    Meyer hatchery reviews???

    I have ordered from Meyer twice and had excellent experiences both times. The quick shipping happens when you order from their "available now" list.

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    Chicks cost around $3 a piece. My husband built a chicken coop that cost more than $2000! The chicks may be cheap but if your husband over engineers your coop it can get expensive!

    When to switch from chick feed?

    I found my own answer in the FAQs. Manufacturers say 16 weeks but the recommendation is when you see the first egg. Just in case anyone else needed this info!
