Thank you!

This isn’t great to hear, thanks!

Thanks!

Hi All! Love seeing all the photos of Meyer chickens! I placed my order for my first chicks a few weeks ago and I’m so excited! I’m going to pick them up in mid-February. Meyer is about a 3.5 hour drive from me, so I’d rather just make the drive than wait until April to have them shipped. I...
