Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[NanaLynn]

well I got 2 of 10 pics to load, these babies were a week old monday, Will keep trying to upload the other 8 pics

So adorable! Can't wait to see the others, what kind are these?

Not a problem.

My first chickens actually came from a farm and we suspect that they tried to dump a bunch of roosters on us because we literally only got one hen from that lot. We have gotten most of our birds from TSC, as well as a few from one of my mom's coworkers who decided she didn't want chickens after all. My Sebrights came from a swap meet, and they will be the last adult birds I ever add to my flock (just my personal preference). And then in 2011 we got some barred Plymouth Rocks and 'Americanas' (Easter-eggers) from a very local, Amish-run hatchery.

I don't think I will ever go back to feed store chicks, mostly because I've found that feed store chicks are a lot harder to tame than straight-from-hatchery chicks. As Meyer's is the only hatchery in driving distance with so many different breeds available, and I have had two good experiences with them so far, I think that they will have my business for the foreseeable future.

I wish that we had a reliable place near us, before I get more, I will check around. That's so great you can just drive to Meyers.

Ellie one of my EE's is growing in a beautiful orange and black beard!!

I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing that picture, sounds neat!

I was able to get some pictures of 5 of my girls.

My Meyer Babies also a week old as of last Monday...could use some helping IDing the breeds as they are all from assortments.Oy! Fryze, whatever the brown chick in your photo is, I have a few of those. Any idea of breed? I can provide photos of any of the little buggers as needed. Any help appreciated. TIA

All the black & yellow chicks have feathered feet. The gold with the patterned wings are clean legged.


I know the EEs since they have green legs, the rest? Three are solid brown with darker heads?


My Cochin hen TitoFluffadoted 14 chicks - 5 have feathered legs and extra toes (Faverolles)
Anyone who can tell me if the patterned wing chicks might be Delawares? And the all yellow with yellow wings?

Yea!!! I got all 10 pics to upload, it only took 5 days. lol

ok in the front I think is a blue laced red wyndotte, the yellow chick I think is a buff orpinton, the black boys I think are barred rocks, and tge brown chicks are my girls Partridge Plymouth rocks

The little girl with white wing feathers is a white leghorn, not sure what the chipmunk colored one is

blue laced red wyndotte I think (not sure why they would give me 5 of these babies in the pan fry bargin since they are rare)













what am I? Does anyone know?

LAChickens and Fryze - Very cute- I just can't help with any ID's cause I'm pretty new to the whole chicken thing.
