Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

A little update on us. Our BA hurt her wing. I keep trying to tie it up but she hates it and keeps taking the bandage off. I need to figure out something more permanent tomorrow. She was able to get in the nest box though and laid an egg today. Speaking of eggs we got a double yoker from our BR yesterday.
Amber is doing good still. She got two baths and still looks oily. Her skin is shedding and she is getting some pin feathers.
What's funny is the oldest three are sleeping on the floor. They lost their top roost position. Don't know if it's because they were gone or if they are just trying to stay with amber. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

We need to start a complaining thread... if you complain you get eggs!

So far today I got 5 eggs and I think one was from Mrs. Puff my whitish EE but unfortunately is a light brown egg

If you really study it and push the description it kinda has some pink to it ... it's a creamy tannish light brown with pink undertones.
Basically it's brown.
I'm surprised because her comb and beard looks like Izzy's and she lays a pretty green egg.
My only hope now is BeeBee my EE with the black beard.
Also... don't collect lots of eggs without a basket cause you're bound to drop one.

Izzy and Cleo still seem like they will lay today so maybe it will be a 7 egg day. We'll see.

It's here! And my boxer Gavin LOVES it, he makes sure whoever goes in it gets approved by him first.

wow I love it!! Be sure to send pics of the inside when you get it done. Are you doing an outside run or anything?

In turning a 12 x 26' horse stall/tractor shed into my coop. It has a 12 x 26' run too but I need to get it fully enclosed because that's how something got in and killed my hens. I need all the ideas for the inside of the coop as I can get

I picked up my baby pullets from Meyers yesterday, the store was everything I thought it would be and MORE! Of course as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by lovely sound of little cheeps and behold there was a bin of chicks (I assume leftovers & late hatchers) for sale!
Of course my fiance realized he was in trouble as some mysterious gravitational force pulled me right over to those adorable little peeps! I ended up picking out 7 more little gals before I could pry my eyes off that darn bin. One of those lucky babies was a Lavender Orp! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her, I also picked up a Colombian Wyandotte, Deleware, Salmon Faverolles, Buckeye, Partridge Rock and a Buff Brahma. The ladies were so helpful telling me who was what, I was so excited I could hardly think strait let alone guess breeds. Oh I was in Heaven!
I picked up a 10 hole nest box and 2 transport crates, its amazing how much stuff they have in stock. My fiance even got brownie points, he picked up one of those Chicken Lover Parking only signs for me!
I also got to meet, Jess, the customer service operator that helped me get those precious little Buff Brahmas added to my order. She was so nice, it was great to thank her in-person. The cashier woman was great too, I love talking chickens.
It was a great experience and I can't wait to go again! Thanks Meyer Hatchery!

I will add pictures when I get home!

Awesome! You got some great breeds from the leftover bin! Did you have to pay the regular price for the Lavender Orpington or was she on sale? Also, were the chicks in the leftover bin females or straight run? Just wondering!

I can't wait for pics!

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

They were all on sale! I got the Lav for an amazing $5 the other chicks were on sale for $2! I don't know if that is normal, there was construction going on all around the store so they might have lowered the price because less people stop by? There were bantams & silkies in the bin too, but I resisted. I CANNOT get any more roos, they are coming out of my ears as it is.

I can't wait to see the pictures!!! I would have been in heaven too and SOOO much trouble lol. I would have brought home a lot of them.

How do they sex them so young?

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

I believe they vent sex, that is the only accurate way to sex all breeds.
