Meyer hatchery?

[Jo1705]

Has any one ordered from Meyer hatchery before? How is the quality of the chicks? I ordered a golden cuckoo marans, speckled sussex, golden laced wyandotte, and a meal maker. Have you ordered any of these from them before? Thank you!

Yes! We ordered 9 chicks for the first time and all of them arrived well! Still strong at a week and a half old!

Did you get a meal maker chick? If so, what breed? I think I have a Rhode Island Red, but I've never had one so I'm not 100%. My girls are doing well too

I have made 2 chicken, & 1 goose orders with them. All are still alive and kicking it. Did lose one goose but that was weeks after getting them, it’s neck got stuck in the fence. Will order from them again!

Lol, i'm getting chicks from them in July. This thread makes me happy and scares the crap out of me at the same time...lordy.

I'm getting nine chicks from them next Tuesday! I ordered them in January then promptly forgot. Two appenzeller spitzhaubens, a speckled sussex, an olive egger, a golden campine, a welsummer, a barnevelder, a buff orpington and a meal maker. Excited, and a little nervous--the youngest pullets I've ever gotten were two weeks old, so this is a whole new ballgame.

After reading this thread I want to cancel my order and get my Delaware's from another Hatchery. Which hatchery is consistently the best per the BYC members?

I've ordered from them twice and have had good a good experience. Since I'm in a rural area, I track them as well as I can through USPS tracking. When they close enough to drive, I call my local post office and ask them to ask the other post office to hold them for pick up. Otherwise, it takes an additional day to get to my post office. 16 on the first order, 10 on the second. All arrived healthy. The latest group is almost 5 weeks old and growing like crazy!

I ordered three leghorns from them and I had no problems.

After some USPS drama, all nine are home and eating/drinking up a storm! They're so fun to watch--I want to stay home and play with them.
