Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[sonderah]

I have LF Buff Orpington and am in the process of hatching Bantam chocolate Orpingtons. Both lay brown eggs. I will have room in my bantam pen to add more, but kind of wanna add some kind of the "funny looking" chickens. I will only keep the hens of these because I want my Orpingtons to remain pure. I need bantam sized, that lay something other than brown, that has some funny looking features. Any suggestions?

Meyer has bantam easter eggers, polish, silkies and other bantam breeds. I don't know if you want them from a hatchery or not.

That is the egg basket I dream of!!!!  Did you get your Marans from Meyer?  WOW... amazing 

You're giving me chick fever!! They are adorable. Glad the polish made it in the cold weather

Thank you, I should have said the those aren't hatchery Marans.

I have Meyer Marans if you are interested in there egg color.

I have Meyer Marans if you are interested in there egg color.

I would have been better off paying for sexed pullets but I wanted a guaranteed dark egg and was hoping to get some breeders. I'm pretty happy with the shell color. How dark are your Meyer Marans laying?

I agree with those suggestions. EE's lay blue/green eggs (usually), polish lay white eggs, and silkies have tinted egg (cream colored). They also have bantam welsummers that lay a darker brown egg.

I would love to see a picture of your Meyer Maran eggs! I just noticed today Meyer has some available the day I'm picking my order up... Might have to add one

Hey you all! I just ordered some babies from Meyers, May can't come soon enough, I'm so excited! 8D

So, I'm a Brahma-crazy person. Though they don't seem to be what I'm looking for, Meyers' stock doesn't seem... that bad. So I'll give them a try. I got a Delaware from my feed store last year, so I ordered one of those too. Crazy little things!

All the others are breeds I've never tried before, so I'm excited! I always wanted to have a Salmon Faverolle, not sure about the Dark Cornish but figured it was worth a shot (same situation as with the Brahma, it simply seems like breeders just don't exist), I really want a Cochin so I chose a White Cochin, and I thought I'd give a New Hampshire Red as shot too. I might regret it later but my last choice was a black Sumatra.

I don't suppose anyone here has ordered Buff Brahmas or Dark Cornish and might tell me a couple things... Though I love how both birds are meant to look, I really like the breeds for their size and width. Ideal Poultry disappointed me so I thought it might be worth it to try something else. That's why I ordered a Faverolle too.
