Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[trsturself]

Well I just went out to feed my girls in the big coop and found my favorite girl laying stiff on the floor

why does it ALWAYS have to be my favorite?!

I thought she was over her respiratory infection from the Pox.

oh no! It does always seem to be the favorite!

My EEs are standoffish as well but they are my fiance's fave lol. Wanting some Marans, Ameracaunas, Olive Eggers and some more golden buffs and barred rocks for egg production. I love my barred rocks.

Our EE is my daughter's favorite. She got a little standoffish after the attack, I think she's afraid we're going to inspect her, bathe her, put ointment on her, etc. lol
I don't know where the lady we got our EE from got hers from but my friend and I both got them from her and they both lays blue/green eggs. I emailed her to ask.

She just replied, she gets her chicks from Cackle.

I love your videos and pics, thanks for sharing. Cute hens! I like your setup, that is great that your feeder holds so much. It looks like the waterer holds a lot too. When I saw your hens poking their heads through the wire I got nervous, but then I read how you have a fenced in back yard, dogs and a security light, so I was relieved.

My first eggit was dirty found under perch next to duck egg

It looks like a glass egg in the picture. Congrats!

Lucy (left) and Lizzie (right). I'm really sad that I couldn't keep these two...

They like their new home though.

Oooh, I wish I could!!! What are you ordering?

I absolutely LOVE Meyer Hatchery! The best quality of bird I've ever had!! Great customer service too.



These were hatched Aug 19 and some are already squatting! Can't wait to place my Spring order!

Cute Chickens! That's great that you're ordering more for Spring too. My last batch were hatched the end of April, so maybe mine will start squatting soon too, hope so!

I am so sorry. It is really hard to lose them, especially the favorites.

I enjoy my EE's too. The layers usually squat for me, but none get too close otherwise. Are you ordering in the Spring too?

Congrats, that is so neat that your ducks are in the catalog! I still have not gotten mine yet though. When will you order your new layers?

This thread was active the past couple days, I was behind 25 posts when I checked today!

Happy Chickening Everyone!

2 speckled sussex
1 silver laced cochin
1 salmon faverolle
2 EE
1 BLRW
1 Blue Cochin

subject to change cuz I will probably add or change my mind on a few of them.

Got my order in, too, although the Dorkings aren't yet available. My order thus far, though, is 2 black copper Marans and 1 Welsummer.

By the way, we called in to Meyer to ask about the Cream Legbars. I guess their flock is young so they don't know how well they're going to lay yet, which is why they haven't put them up on the site yet? Anyway, the price that they gave us was $49 per chick for the Legbars. I'm not sure I'm up to that price, as much as I'd like Legbars in my flock. Guess I'll stick to my Marans, Welly, and Dorking.

I feel your pain....youngest son went out around noon to check on his chickens and found his favorite little Silkie pullet dead. He thinks one of the bigger/older hens that caused her demise.

@LynnEBC Thanks! I like when they get up in the camera too. I have so many pictures of my chickens making goofy faces right in front of the camera.

Sunni does have a very "I'm spoiled" look to her. That's probably because she really is incredibly spoiled.


@pipdzipdnreadytogo $49 is so expensive!! I got 10 chicks for about that price. I can't imagine paying that much for just one. Legbars sure are beautiful though.


@BarredRockGirls That's a nice variety! Buff Brahams are definitely on my wish list. I won't be able to get them for a few years though.
