    Calmest chicken breed?

    i'm so sorry about your experience :( i totally understand being skeptical of big hatcheries after something like that. what happened, if you don't mind me asking? if you're ever willing to give it a chance again, Meyer has a lot specialty/heritage breeds, including some gorgeous Orpingtons. in...

    Excellent experience with Murray McMurray Hatchery

    This makes my heart happy. I have never ordered from a hatchery. Usually, I incubate my own or purchase locally. I did lots of research and this is the same hatchery I chose for my newest chicks. My chicks should be here the week of June16th and I've been anxiously awaiting news and hopeful that...

    Any reviews on Meyer’s Splash Ameraucana Bantam?

    Hello! I am thinking of getting a Bantam splash Ameraucana from Meyer Hatchery in a few weeks. They are a new breed for them, and I’m curious if any of you have had experience with this specific type from Meyer? Would you recommend the breed? They don’t have any reviews on their site yet. Thank...

    Which rooster and color?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/difference-between-easter-eggers-and-ameraucanas-with-review-optional.76220/ This article is a good one for learning the difference. It’s basically a confusing marketing tactic that hatcheries use. If you are wanting pure Ameraucanas in the future, I...

    Has Anyone Ordered From Happy Hen Culture

    Never even heard of them. I tried to find a .com site for them and there doesn't seem to be any listing. I even looked of reviews with no success. "If something seems to be to good to be true, it probably is".... I would trust my gut and stay away from the "pretty pictures". Stay with known...

    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    They’re mainly leghorns with blue egg genes. Tom Whiting didn’t start this breed, he was given it to him from a friend that crossed production leghorns with ameraucana or Easter eggers from Ideal Hatchery in TX. Whiting continued the line selecting for blue eggs and would backcross the line...

    Mt. Healthy Hatchery EXTRA EXTRA!

    I ordered from them in march - 11 hens of different breeds and was sent an extra chick (female) My 2 colored egg layers that I ordered both ended up being roosters. (Easter egger (americana), and Olive egger). The said they would reimburse me for one of the them. This is what I ordered. Not...

    Starlight Green Egger egg color.

    Anyone contacting the hatcheries about the egg color vs their % of odds and them not coming anywhere close....and getting nowhere with the hatchery.....could leave a review on their website...

    Greenfire Farms Experience to date

    Meyer is great, got my girls from them last year. Lost one from failure to thrive but the other 7 are all doing great now

    Sad to hear they won’t address the losses. That’s a lot of chicks to lose within 48 hours.

    WARNING: Cackle Hatchery

    Hello everyone. Please learn from my horrendous experience and be very weary about ordering from Cackle or any hatchery for that matter. I was hesitant to order any birds ever, but I saw forum after forum and many reviews stating that this hatchery was reputable. I decided to go against my...

    Bad Luck Bantams

    I'm hoping to have better luck, since my birds coming next month are from Meyer. They aren't bantams though. They're also the only place I've seen for sexed bantams. I've wondered, since other hatcheries don't sex bantams, and I've read in many places that they're so tiny that it's considered...

    Having TSC order chicks for you?!

    I agree with @FrostRanger. It's wise to also search good and bad reviews here or online before ordering from any hatchery your thinking about ordering from. I've also ordered from Meyers and had a good experience and they even credited me back for the accidental male I received. I was close...

    Sweeter Heater

    thank you, i never have issues with chicks, just with the quail. since im new to quail, im just going to guess somehow the brinsea wasnt warm enough so thought trying this one with good reviews would be better.

    Has Anyone Ordered From Happy Hen Culture

    Thanks, I couldn't find anything either. I wasn't going to order unless some people here actually had good experiences.

    Mt. Healthy Hatchery EXTRA EXTRA!

    Mt Healthy is amazing. They will pack extras or not, they aim to please and they want you to be successful. Meyer is huge and has tempting offerings but you will get surprises on your order because they are in a hurry to pack the boxes and get them out.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I tried to figure that out, they don’t say and I can’t find anything definitive on how they manage this feat. I read many, many reviews and apparently they do have a very high rate of success and will reimburse if wrong. Mistakes do happen though for sure just not often. I personally figured it...
