Anyone get Buckeye chicks from Meyer before?

[WoofMeowCluck]

I've been thrilled with every breed of chicken I've ordered from Meyer. All have been healthy and I've never lost one.

I'm picking up a few more chicks from Meyer on Monday, but I can stop buying chickens whenever I want, I just dont' want to yet

I just love them. They were sitting all over my legs tonight when I was with them. Awwww---they felt so soft and warm!

I also just sent for those rings from Randall Burkey so I can tell Ginger, Mac, Bunty, Babs, Nettie and Ginger apart. The first four names were lifted from "Chicken Run" because they are great chicken names. I added "Nettie" in honor of the breed's developer. "Gracie" came about because I have one bird that dawdles at bedtime until the other five are leaning out of the coop screaming for her to come up to roost. The first night I had to pick her up and put her into the coop. As I closed the door I said "Good night, Gracie" and accidentally created the sixth name that I needed. The colored spiral bands will tell me if if really is the same bird every night.

The birds were in perfect shape when I got them, obviously very well cared for. Not one pasty bottom. The Patchogue Post Office did a wonderful job of contacting me immediately which helped as well. I don't blame you for being hooked on chickens. People at work are fascinated by this and are always asking to see new photos of "the girls". (I work in a Health Department, and most of the other inspectors have degrees in Biology which tends to indicate an interest in such things.)
