Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[TheCrazyChick]

I will take some updated pics of my 7 Meyer chicks (now 4 months old.) I think I have some beauties in the bunch for being hatchery chicks. The EE suddenly has gone from blah to beautiful and the BLRW is simply gorgeous in my eyes. Buff Brahma is also delightful to look at. Black Australorp has a lovely green sheen to her black feathers.

As promised, here are a few pics of my now 4 month old Meyer chicks.

Here's the Buff Brahma ...



Here's some of the EE. I think she has lovely lacing.



Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. The photo doesn't do her justice, though.



Another of the EE.



The others are Black Australorp, WJG, BB, BR.

So pretty. I have tried 2 times to get one of them. The first time they said it "didn't hatch" so I didn't get it with the shipment and the second time I got one but it turned out to he a roo. So he had to go. But ONE DAY! one day i will have one...

Just keep your eyes open for their last minute availability. I saw some available last week or the week before for just a few hours, and then they were gone.

If it's any consolation, I have a 4 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte from Meyer also ... and am about 99.9% sure that Dusty Jane is really a Dusty Jack!

Here's a picture of he/she's comb at 2 weeks old, It's been that large since DAY THREE! Wattles too! I am holding out hope still.

Left to right: Nibbles, Ornery, Bubbles, and Camper
The top two we took them outside into the reseeded front pen to get to look at everyone. Our Muscovy, Collard, bout broke her neck trying to get to them and mother them. Once she realized they were not as small as she thought she kinda let them do their own thing but kept a watch over them.

Beautiful ducks. Wish we had the set-up for some, but I think that would be biting off more than we can chew. Thanks for sharing!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you--still adorable. Thankfully we didn't get the second one from Meyer, instead go him from a local shop. I miss Bonnie but I know he is happy with his new ladies...he was a randy fellow. Plus we got Collard out of the trade.

Lynn, if it helps, I don't see any boys in the pictures you posted yesterday.

I'm getting excited now! Just 4 weeks to go for my new Meyer babies!

Thank you, that helps! Did you say how many you are getting?

Mine will hatch in two weeks!!! I can't believe I am getting more, these will be our last for quite some time. (Well I say that now)

Your EE's have beautiful lacing! I want a BLRW too and a Buff Brahma, so pretty! Thanks for posting.

I know... I'm watching her because of the white. It seems like just the chest is white but I guess with the EE's you just never know! I hope she's not a boy because she looks like she'll be really different from the others. I love Haddie and Maddie's coloring!!

That will be so neat if the white feathered one is a girl, I'd love to see how she turns out. Haddie and Maddie are so different in coloring and Haddie is so sweet and Maddie is such a bully. I guess they are developing their pecking order.

Howards: Love those duck pics! We don't have enough land to get ducks too, so I am envious.

Yes, I'm getting 9. A LB Leghorn, an Exchequer Leghorn, a silver gray Dorking, an Ancona, a silver Lakenvelder, an Egyptian Fayoumi, a golden Campine, and 2 special surprises for me. And same here, these chicks are the 'last ones' for a 'while'. Words in apostrophes are up for interpretation.

That's a nice variety I am also getting some Golden Campines. They have such beautiful colors. I couldn't resist adding two to my order!
