Farm chatter

Are you able to find the thread?

Unfortunately I don’t remember- it was a long time ago on some random thread where someone was asking about hatcheries.

I think that @The Moonshiner knows how it works- I remember him saying something about it in a different thread. Something about shared incubator space, or shared stock?

Meyer's Hatchery is located in Polk Ohio.

My Pet Chicken is located in Monroe Connecticut.

Yes, I know. I’m pretty sure that MPC orders are sometimes directly filled by Meyer.

Now see what you've done! I went to the Meyer site and just spent a long time looking at cute little chicks. I want blue eggs. I want BBS birds. Lavender would be cool too.

Wallet stayed far away from my hand. Credit card stayed in wallet. Whew. Close that window, close it, close it...

Ok, closed.

MPC drop ships a lot of their birds from Meyers. They're hatched at Meyers location from Meyers birds.
Yes not all MPC birds are from Meyers. Meyers don't mess with all those designer cr@p "breeds" MPC offers.
I got chicks from both companies and they all shipped from the same location.

So, they're just supplier's?

Idk if MPC has any birds of their own or where they get all their birds. It seems most of their common breeds come from Meyer's.
You can watch availability on both sites and see this.
I know there's also hatcheries that don't own birds but contract eggs from breeders. MPC may do something like that or may own some flocks.
IDK I'm not a fan of MPC. They charge way to much for some of their chicks and the reasonable priced ones are coming from Meyer's so....

I will be ordering from them if I get more chickens, because in my experience, they sell healthy chicks that look as they should, regardless of where they’re from. They also offer low minimums that I need and haven’t seen elsewhere. I’m also not interested in any of their ‘breeds’, but I know many people with small children who looove the frizzled and silkied whatevers.

Antlers are sculpted, just need to be painted.
