I HAVE ORDERED SEVERAL YEARS IN A ROW FROM HOOVER. ON THE WHOLE I WAS PLEASED, THE CHICKENS ALL WERE HEALTHY , AT MY LAST ORDER THEY SENT ME THE WRONG BREED. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO CHICKENS THIS SEASON. ARE THEY OUT OF BUSINESS?
Hello! We’ve had great success selling our pullets for 15 years. Just because you read about a few people who have issues doesn’t mean everyone feels this way. We also guarantee live delivery. Yes, Heritage Pullets is the place for started pullets!
So, you decided to buy some chicks? Maybe some hatching eggs?
After spending a few days checking known hatchery sites and not finding availability in certain breeds or colors you want, you conclude that you want to order from a small family farm or a breeder instead.
The birds will be better...
I got a barnyard mix of 12 eggs from a seller on Amazon with good reviews. Most of the eggs were fertile and progressing until day 8/9 when the incubators cord came unplugged. According to their store page they're located in Alabama, which is the main reason I choose them since they were the...
Yes, everyone's from Meyer since it's the only source for sexed bantams that I've been able to find. I have heard that some lines of Bielefelder are just not hardy, so it's possible that could explain her premature death (which is really sad, I'm so sorry). It's interesting you had luck with the...

Hey guys
I've decided to get back into chickens again this spring, and I've just placed an order with Hoover's Hatchery. (They had the earliest available ship date and were a little more reasonable.)
Anyway, after placing my order, I went through their Google reviews and saw a lot of negativaty...
When I called them yesterday and then sent an email requesting that they put those things in the new shipment, this is the reply I got:

Thank you! I messaged her just to let her know, didn’t ask for a refund or anything like that. She got ruder when I left a yelp review. Oh well, deff not getting any more animals from AZ homestead & hatchery. I was just curious on what happened with this “silkie”.
Yes the Australorps and French Marans are on my list. I'm a little hesitant with certain hatcheries due to the reviews. Previously some of my farm feed store chicks were purchased there and some didn't fair well. Also looking back at the Swedish Flower hens, more than half had a vaulted head...
Fun to read! Thanks! FYI, Girls hunt too, EE's and OE's are mentioned, even if hatcheries add their flare to the name as you listed in your comment/ review. Always new crosses coming out to sell them:D
Chicks via the US Postal Service topic is widely covered, but I am wondering if anyone in Georgia (Southeast in general even) ordering chicks from afar are having trouble receiving live birds? 3 recent negative reviews of Meyer Hatchery from Tennessee claim dead and dying chicks, each claiming 3...
I know there are several hyped up dual purpose breeds currently float around all the homestead channels on YouTube, intsa, Etc. So to do a little investigating of my own i got my hands on a small flock of Bielefelder's from a hatchery that shall remain nameless. I know hatchery birds are not a...
I want to add several breeds to my flock this year and only want a few of each. Anyone have advice or reviews on a hatchery that at is good for this?
Crackle hatchery has a 3 bird min per breed and I found a Valley hatchery that does as well but never heard of them.
Anyone know of a hatchery...
This is my first time buying day old chicks, (red sex link) online. I did a lot of research and it seems that Meyers is one of the most well known hatchery with good chickens. Unfortunately I bought my chicks from Myers thinking it was Meyers. Is Myers a good Hatchery? Has anyone raise their red...
