I got 5 chicks from Meyer Hatchery last June. They shipped fine and were happy and healthy. Still doing good to this day!

I've purchased 26 chicks total from Meyer Hatchery. I did have a few losses last year but not the first year. Mine were vaccinated for Mereks for 50 cents each.

I placed my order on the phone but you can order online too, IdealPoultry has no minimum limit. Plus out of 26 chicks I ordered, not one arrived ill or dead and almost a month later, I still have yet to lose any or even worry about any getting ill

Meyer Hatchery is fantastic. I've ordered 60 chicks from them before and only had two that didn't make it. In 2018 we ordered hatching eggs. Every experience with this hatchery has been a good one. Just be sure to opt in for vaccinations if you're getting day old chicks.

Another +1 for Meyer Hatchery. I've only lost about 2/100 chicks I bought from them and they always add some more in for free to cover losses, so I'm definitely positive! You can pay a small fee extra for vaccinations and Sav-A-Chik. Can't go wrong with them, and there's a lot of them who post here on the forum.

Yes I had mine vaccinated. And it was a little pricy just because of the fast shipping and how far they had to go. But the chicks in general weren’t that pricy

Do you get the vaccination option when you are going to check out in the meyer hatchery website?because I'm not seeing it

@Chicken101-07 Yes! The vaccine option will be in the checkout portion. Also, I found their live chat to be extremely helpful if you have any direct questions for them.
