I think the only way to buy chicks back then was straight run.

Meyers is good to order from. I expect you will have to plan for cockerel troubles before they hit butcher weight.

Ahhh okay that makes sense then!!!

And yeah I love them!!! I’ve ordered from them a ton haha

My first and second set of chickens came from them as well as my hatching eggs. This latest batch I got from Ideal only because Meyer didn’t carry the breed I wanted. I’ve been super happy with them too though so far. And then of course this new batch in July will be from Meyer.

And yeah I’ll be ready! If necessary, I will butcher some early!!!

That said though, my last batch didn’t give me any troubles until about 16 weeks old and even then, it was mostly just crowing, so I’m hoping this batch will be the same. especially since it is less boys. Only 5 instead of 8 like I had before and these guys will also have a lot more room so hopefully they will work out their pecking order early on and be no issues.

But there are also more girls in this group whereas before it was basically a bachelor pad with the exception of one girl so that might complicate things with girls to fight over.

But I’m ready and might do it in stages anyway with doing some earlier.

Can't. To many carbs. I had broccoli and cheese.

Bitty my best mama bird ever for example.
