Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[MsChickenMomma]

I ordered 10 chicks from Meyer Hatchery, and they will be shipped the first week of May. I just ordered them a week ago, and I've already had 3 dreams about chicks. I even spent 3 hours making a countdown to put on my wall. It's going to be a long 11 and a half weeks.... Loving the pictures of everyone's birds from Meyer!

I was thinking it was a comment from a young 'un who didn't read what the thread was about.

Yes, you are probably right. I shouldn't have even even commented on that comment. I forget that there are so many "young'uns" on here. I'm sure they meant no offense.

I didn't even realize at first how many young people there are on here. I thought I was one of the only ones. I'm almost 15 years old, but I am very experienced with chickens, and I'm pretty mature for my age. Most people over the internet think I'm older than I am, because of my choice of wording and how much I know about chickens for my age.

I love all of the young people on the forum, as your excitement and willingness to share is extraordinary. And you are right, many of you young people communicate very well for your age! Keep up the good work and best of luck with your chickens!

I had a dream (nightmare) they were out of EE's!!! I ordered 15 total chicks and 4 of them are EE's so I'd be really sad if they didn't have any!!
I have 26 more days to wait!! Seems like a lifetime especially since they will be my first chicks ever.

All the chickens in the album in my signature line "The girls, and Oreo" are all EE from Meyers. I was completely happy w/ my order all healthy chicks, only one had no beard but she has great color and patterning to make up for that, all layed blue/green eggs. One boy snuck by and he is a great flock leader.

That would be AWFUL! I ordered two EE's, so I would be really upset if they didn't have them

They are beautiful. I can't wait until mine get bigger. I called Meyer's today and they have given me credit for the shipping deaths and one missing. They said I can order them now or wait until a later hatch date. We're going to wait and order more in the summer. I learned my lesson with getting them this early in the year. They are sooo nice at Meyer's, awesome customer service!

I did not realize how much work it is to raise little chicks. A few had pasty butts, so I have been soaking their little behinds in warm water and wiping away the mess. They were so happy once I did that and they look so much better now. Plus, I gave them some hard boiled egg to help them along and they all perked up after that and ran around the brooder chasing the one with a piece of egg in it's mouth. I also gave them some ground up rolled oats and ground up chick starter to help them poop better. I did not realize how deadly pasty butt was until I read up about it yesterday. Glad I figured it out before it was too late.

I guess you can tell that I am a new chicken owner from my postings. Good luck to everyone with their waiting. You were wise to wait, just remember that, it will be warmer when your chicks arrive.
