Is Meyer Hatchery very good?

[Mac14]

I am thinking about getting 4 chicks in the spring from Meyer, probably 2 golden polish, 1 EE and maybe a GLW or a barnevelder, has anyone had terrible experiences with it? If you love your chicken(s) from Meyer I would love for you to post some pictures. Thank you.

Anyone?

I ordered from them once so far but would definitely use again. I ordered 6 plus the extra "Meyer meal maker" chick. All arrived in perfect health and are still doing well three weeks later. The only breed I received that you're considering is the ee. I received both a male and female. I'd be happy to post pics - but I'm sure you're looking for full grown photos to see how they'll end up. Mine are currently losing their baby down and look pretty silly! By the way, I found Meyer's customer service by phone to be wonderful! Email...no response but they're extremely accommodating over the phone.

Cool, thank you, ya pics would be very nice, if not, totally fine.

Here they are in the brooder shortly after receiving them. Ee's top left and lower right (see cheeks!) Here are the ee's together, female on left, male on right. 3 weeks old.

I ordered ducks from them. I ordered 11 Indian Runners and 4 welsh harlequin. Received 12 IR and 4 WH They are 6 weeks old now and all 16 are doing great.

Thank you! I'm happy they are doing so good.

I got a sliver laced wyandotte and barnevelder from them. The wyandotte is alive and well, a bit bossy but very healthy. The barnevelder arrived sickly and, although I tried to nurse her back to health, she didn't make it. That's her in my profile pic. They also didn't ship one of the chicks I ordered and they gave me a refund. I just ordered some meat birds from them and they seem healthy and happy.
