Over the last 8 months, I have ordered from Meyer 4 times and Murray McMurray once. Thankfully, ALL of my birds from both hatcheries arrived happy and healthy and are still going strong. I received excellent customer service from both hatcheries, but if I HAD to choose between the two, I would give Meyer the edge. The people I've dealt with have all been exceptionally friendly and helpful. Due to proximity, Meyer is better for me since I'm close enough to pick up my orders, though I haven't experienced any issues with their shipping.
