I have 7 one-month-old chicks from them, I ordered 8. One was unhealthy from the start and died, but the rest have grown up wonderfully (the other of the same breed as the one who didn't make it is littler than the rest so I think the hatchery had a bad week for GLWs).
Although they are hatchery quality birds, and won't be showstoppers, their feet are the right color, their combs are the right type, and they look like the breed they are supposed to be, not cross-breeds. I won't know if the sexing was correct for a few more weeks.
You don't get a lot of contact from them, a recap of your order is sent out and then an email telling you when to expect your chicks, but that's it. Also, they asked me for two phone numbers but only one was printed on the box so I did not get the call from the PO right away as they were leaving messages on my cell while I was at work.
Despite the dead chick and the not-quite-right communication, I'd use them again, or go directly through Meyer.
