Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

Looked them up doesnt look like them.
This one has very light feathering on its legs. And is pure white.
And the one i posted above it with the black spots must be an easter egger?
It has the same color legs as the other ee and i just realized it has a peacomb.
Oh well i have plenty of time to watch them grow and figure out what they are.
Thats half the fun of the assortment i guess
 
Yeah, I'm thinking the one with the black spots and peacomb is definitely an EE cause I don't know of any breed with that little color. Usually I think it's all white or a lot more color aha

And the other one might he a marans, cochin, brahma, etc. I would look at all the feather legged breeds they carry. They have white breeds
 
Just wanted to put in a so-so-good word in for Meyers. I ordered 3 chicks from the 6/26 hatch and they arrived less than 24 hours later, today about 11am! All seem very lively, active, and healthy! The yellow is a Faverolle, the brown is a buff brahma and the grey is a lavender Orpington!

Aww they're adorable!
 
Just got the call from the post office. My first ever Meyer chicks are waiting for me and I can pick them up in 45 minutes!!! I placed my order back in February, so it's taken a while, but I am glad they are finally here. Hope they are all safe and sound. Their journey took about 36 hours but it's been a hot couple days (lows of 65 and highs of 85) so I am hoping they are all still doing well.

Meyer's customer service has been outstanding!!! They have top-notch people on their phones. I can't tell you how many times I called to add chicks to my order as the breeds I wanted became available, or remove chicks from my order as my preferences changed. They were extremely pleasant and helpful every time.

Fingers crossed they all made it! Will try to update once they are home.
 
Here is the update:

All arrived safe and sound, except for one. My one and only Speckled Sussex passed away about 20-30 minutes after I got her home. She was not looking good at all when I picked her up. I was able to get a little Sav-A-Chick in her, but it was too little too late. All others are running around and eating their Gro-Gel/Chick Crumbles and drinking. They even had the chicken nipples figured out within the first 10-15 minutes.

I posted some pics below in order of their appearance. (all pullets)

Yellow band = Buff Orpington
Red band = My Meal Maker - Guessing it's a New Hampshire Red (or possibly Golden Buff). If it's a NHR that would be great. I originally had one in my order but then took her off.
Orange band = Golden Campine
Grey band (can't see) = Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben - the smallest
White band = Exchequer Leghorn
Hot Pink band (can't see) = Columbian Wyandotte - the biggest and quickest of the bunch
Dark Green band (can't see) = Olive Egger (guessing Welsummer X Cream Legbar)
Brown band = Spalsh Marans
Black Bands = Black Copper Marans
Lime Green Bands = Easter Eggers
Purple Band = Lavender Orpington
Dark Green Band = Olive Egger (guessing Marans X Ameraucana)
Lime Green Band = Easter Egger
Blue Bands = Blue Ameraucanas (one Blue, one Splash)
Brown Band = Blue Copper Marans

Very pleased that I got a good assortment when ordering multiples of the same breed (i.e. Olive Eggers made with different crosses, Easter Eggers that don't look identical, Blue and Splash Ameraucana, etc.). And, no issues with pasty butt yet!

Note: Some chicks are pictured more than once, but I could not delete them in "edit mode" once they were uploaded for some reason.
