*HATCHARIES* Where, who, and dependability.

You're very welcome. Those four all came in the same shipment I chose Meyer's due to a 3 chick minimum I didn't need a whole bunch either. They shipped and were here the next day everybody alive and doing good.

That is so sweet! Thank you for sharing your pictures.

Thank you! Ok the first picture, starting from the right and going counterclockwise, I have a blue Andalusian, a black sex link, a calico princess, a white leghorn, a black laced red Wyandotte, and olive egger/easter egger. None of them are laying yet.

Hello!
I recently ordered chicks from Meyer Hatchery in Ohio.
I live in SW Idaho.
I did two orders a week apart.
The first order was 6 chicks shipped out Monday and I received them at my local post office on Wednesday morning.
My second order was 7 chicks shipped out Monday and I got them Tuesday afternoon!
Very fast.
All the chicks were alive and energetic.
I gave them poultry nutri-drench in their water for the first couple of days.

Those chicks are now 2-3 weeks old and doing fantastic!
Sadly I lost one partridge rock to an obstructed crop.
Breeds:
3 Black Australorp
3 Partridge Rock
3 Speckled Sussex
2 Silver Penciled Rocks
2 Easter Eggers (Meyer gave me two that look completely different which I was very pleased about)
One EE even has fluffy cheeks!

The chicks recently graduated to my prefab coop which is their grow out pen.

I removed the divider to two of the nesting boxes and ran an extension cord to plug the Premier 1 heat plate into.
It’s a 12”x12” and fits perfectly.

I love using a heat plate instead of a heat lamp because it’s not a fire risk and the chicks feather out faster and get used to the dark at night.

I’d also like to make a plug for Naked Neck/Turken chickens.
I have four and I love them!
They are supposed to be cold hardy and good layers.
I got mine from TSC and I believe they source their chicks from Hoover Hatchery.
Mine are 4.5 months old now.
And since you asked for pictures...
NN pullet- Agatha

NN pullet- Emily

NN cockerel- Angus

NN cockerel- Loki (aka my Bubelah)

He was younger here but I love this photo

Good luck to you!
I hope you find a source for your birds that you’re very satisfied with.
Keeping chickens is fun, challenging, rewarding and entertaining!

Oh my a blue andalusian! So pretty! Are those cold hardy? What color eggs do they lay?
