That’s what we did! We ordered 18, but are splitting 10 with a family member. I will list the extra 8 chicks on craigslist for what I paid, and if they don’t sell right away, will sell them at 6-8 weeks as pullets of heat. Thinking they will go fast because of the egg market.
Thank you they’re so sweet and are letting us handle them really well. We’re also trying to give them their space and get acclimated! But all 3 have been eating out of all of our hands, so I think that’s good?
I had a drake that is a Blue Swedish/black Runner mix. I really like the Blue Swedish!
All these posts (and especially the pictures!) are giving me chick fever bad! It's been so mild here, I'm ready to call it spring and just get to hatching already. If only my birds would get laying!! 
Meyer Hatchery.This was my favorite thread last year! Once you place a 2023 order, post the details! We can pass the time together! Once you get your new babies, let us know and post pics!
Where did you order from?
What did you order?
When will they hatch/how many weeks or months left?
I know it’s early…but I put 2 orders in for June next year already!I will live vicariously through all of you who get chicks long before that. School lets out here in June, so we get them when the kids (and teacher parents) can spend all day doting on them!
Brabanter is one of my favorites. Over the years they have been very good layers of medium white eggs on top of being super cool looking. They are small bodied and are excellent fliers. Mine liked to roost 10' straight up in the barn rafters. Type is all over the place and you can end up with more of a spangled Polish or Appenzeller but that is how they have resurrected the breed. Up to us to improve it.
We need pics!
