How Should I House 100 Roosters!

[Papaw-John]

I ordered six day-old pullets from Meyers because they were the only place that would sex bantams. One survived and "HE" cost me a small fortune in medical bills and lost work time. It's been several years, but never again.

I read quite e few reviews. Is there a possibility something happened during delivery?

Not during delivery. During packing. The heat pack was not activated properly. It was barely warm when I got it and heated up beautifully when I slapped it again - after delivery and with dead peeps in the box already. My vet claims that some had a genetic issue, to boot.
Meyers was slow to offer aid or refunds. End-of-season and they wanted to give me a credit - with me having to pay shipping again the next year. I don't think so! They ended up refunding it all, but they weren't happy about it.
My order was small and for a specialty breed. Next time, if there is a next time, I will find them locally and just drive forever to pick them up - like I did with my first batch. I seriously doubt you will have the same issues. If there is a problem, just be firm and stick to it.
You'll be fine with your boys, I'm sure. Please record their chorus for all of us here on BYC ... and order extra ear plugs!

I hope they arrive ok. This is my first time ordering live chicks. I normally buy local from individuals, or from the feed store. Mostly, I order eggs off ebay and hatch them.
If the roosters grow up well, I will definitely record the crowing.

My first hen was from Meyers, lived for 9 years!
Hope yours don't last that long!

Whatever u do don't order partridge cochins I ordered the y 3 different times with other breeds and the all died every time. I ordered a total of 25

Just based off the numbers you should have a good 5 or 10 really nice looking roosters.. Might be worth trying to sell them to recoup some frying pan $$

haha

Or maybe it was a psycho killer rooster!

My silly roo Dexter doesn't crow much during the day. He crows at 2 in the morning! He is the only one that does that. Lol

I think my roo hears your roo at two am and won't shut up!
