Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

I am so happy! Today our landlord (who owns a horizontal drilling business called Dig It) knocked on our door this morning and said "We are going to be installing a water pump and electricity in your barn today." And within an hour a whole crew of people came and set to work.

No more carrying water buckets 300+ ft from the house to the barn!! Plus no more frozen water buckets in the winter! I'll also finally be able to hang Christmas lights on my barn this year!

I never thought they would do something like this for us! I will definitely be making them a plate of cookies or something with a nice thank you note.

Can't wait to see them!!
I didn't know Meyer shipped this late in the week. I thought they just shipped on Mon. I guess this is the busy season so they have to keep up!!
Good luck

Our meat birds were supposed to ship today but I didn't get notification. Maybe they have two different ship dates. I can't get on the meyer site for some reason either or I'd check my order.


Can't wait to see what comes in the assortment.

I just looked at the radar on the weather website and we are supposed to get some thunderstorms tonight. :/ I hope my girls do okay! They have done great with sleeping in the coop so far, and I would hate for the 6 day streak to be ruined because of the thunder.

My dog cowers at the first crack of thunder but my chickens are just fine out there!! Go figure
Horrible storms just rolled through here. Dog is hiding in a corner of the bathroom. Smart dog. it's the most interior room!

Wow, we've never had a landlord like that when we rented, that's awesome!

Our dog is the same as Nancy's, but the chickens were still out free ranging when we had a ton of thunder, it didn't even phase them. Now the rain they hate, if it is pouring, but if it is a really light rain, they'll even stay out in that.

Which assortment did you get? We were thinking of doing that next year. Can't wait to see them. Hopefully they have been shipped and arrive soon.

I went to put the chickens up last night and I found these 2 eggs. One was in the nest box, the favorite nest box, apparently. The other was in the garden area just on the ground, the little dirty one on the left. The little one weighed just .9 ounces, not even a full ounce! It seems the normal weight for a beginning layer for my flock is 1.2 ounces.

I have to check every few hours now for eggs! Good thing that I work from home. It is a nice break from work to wander out to the garden and check for veggies and eggs. Of course visiting my chickens is nice too, so relaxing.

Snow my leghorn laid another little white egg this morning! She is on a roll, that's 4 days in a row!

Oh and I FINALLY heard an egg song! Snow came out of the run door after she finished and did a pretty little clucking noise to announce that she laid her egg! She has been quiet the other times, so it was nice to hear.

Chickens are so cool!

I can't wait!!!!! Do you have any idea who laid the little one in the garden? You need a camera to catch them in the act

Since I am so new to raising chickens, my first ever, I'm wondering if they are molting or is it normal to find tons of feathers every day? There's no bare spots, no feather picking or anything like that going on. Just lots of feathers around in the run. They don't free range so I didn't know if I just see all the feathers because they are in a run where as if they were free ranging they would be all over the yard or blowing away.
They are 15 1/2 weeks old (hatched March 10th) and has been going on for several weeks. Is this considered a first molt or just losing feathers? If molting should I be feeding them something to help them regrow feathers? More protein?
