I just want to share my experience with ordering from Meyer.  My chicks left Cleveland Ohio at 8:49 pm Monday night, I got the call from my post office in Suffolk VA. at 10:30 Tuesday morning that my chicks had arrived.  I had requested that my niece's 7 chicks be marked so that we could tell them apart from mine.  The customer service rep. told me she didn't think they would mark the chicks, but she put it on the order anyway.  The 24 chicks that I ordered arrived healthy. I was surprised that they had made a notation on the order slip that my niece's chicks were marked on their tummies with black marker.  We were able to tell very easily which was my nieces chicks. We ended up with 2 Easter Eggers, 3 White Marans, 1 White Leghorn, 1 Welsummer, 2 Silver Laced cochins,2 Salmon Faverolles, 2 Partridge Cochins, 1 Light Brahma, 1 German Spitzhauben, 1 Cukoo Maran, 1Buff  Orpington, 2 Buff Brahms's, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Gold Laced Wyndotte,1 White Cochin, 1 Speckled Sussex, my meal maker was listed as a Dominique, and they thru in a free Blue Cochin. Would I order from Meyer hatchery again? You better believe I would. Nothin but happy......

that's awesome! Best of luck!

Post a pic and maybe we can brainstorm?? Maybe just some stakes with netting, chicken wire or lattice?

Thanks. I know how I can partition an area in the run. It is a temporary coop that I need to figure out. I have a few ideas but I can always use more!

This is one of my favorite pics of Apricot. She was just starting to lay and was in there so long that I thought she was going to try to hatch those golf balls!


As far as deciding which roo to keep...there is one that I'm more drawn too personality wise. He is calmer and friendlier and he looks like he'll have the fluffiest checks. On a weird side note, I posted my ad in the buy, sell, trade forum for the other two. I got a response right away. At first, I was so relieved, but then I noticed the guy had just joined and never posted at all. Kinda left me feeling weird about giving my roos to him. Am I just being overly protective?

Gotcha. If you're handy and it doesn't need to be water proof I would just build a 3 sided box with top and cut outs on 2 sides for ventilation and then put it inside the partitioned area. Or buy something like this?

Amazon has some dog houses or cheap small coops with free shipping. They're not really predator proof but if you put it in a predator proof run then it would be ok.

Just saw this on Amazon... price is right... LOL

Yeah, then you have it for future "assimilations"

What breed is Apricot, I must have missed it. I need one of those, she is beautiful!!!

As far as making temporary places, used pallets are great and usually free, so free wood is a plus. I love pallets!

Is it sad that I'm checking the Meyers website on the weekend hoping to snag a cream leghorn?? Refreshing every couple of hours?
