Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[NanaLynn]

Here is an adult I already have, she is not a Meyers chicken though






They have big bow ties, but they are NN. They are a cross between mottled houdan and NN

Wow, I have never seen anything like them before. Those are some interesting looking chickens.

I'd actually love to have one of these...but not sure if my husband would appreciate them. I love there uniqueness.

Picking up my order tomorrow from Meyers of 2 started pullets, Easter Eggers I'll post pics once I get them home. First experience buying started pullets. Hoping they start laying sooner rather than later and that thet're light instead of dark colored. and that they did NOT snip their beaks.

Those have to be two of the most beautiful chickens I have ever seen! Love them! Hmmm, I just hatched out a mottled houdan today ... Might have to look at naked necks now!

Thanks, then you are half way there.

Love the bowties. For some reason, I always figured they wouldn't have much of a beard (if any) if they had a naked neck. Thanks for sharing! 16 days 'til I pick up my little Meyer girls!

Yeah, very excited...I kinda can't believe I am getting more! Everything is all set for them. I just need to inform the PO about them coming.

How are yours doing?

Kassaundra - My daughter saw your pics and she wants some of those bearded naked necks now. (My 19 yr old daughter) She thinks they are the cutest chickens she has ever seen!

To The Howards: Until recently their operation was much smaller. Seems like they used flock pictures. I agree that stylized pictures or show quality pictures should NOT be used. However, my point was that the person posting the photos of ACTUAL MEYER STOCK had birds that were far better looking to me than the pictures in the catalog and that Meyer was doing itself a disservice by not letting us know what their stock really looks like in the hands of real customers. I ordered from another hatchery because the birds simply didn't look good at all in the catalog. Then I saw the customer photos and wish I had gotten Partridge Rocks from them. Someone else told me that their birds are always above average in quality. Live and learn.
