Haha! Yeah, well I love Wellies and I think that I want to try breeding them also

Have any of you ordered much from Meyer Hatchery online?

MEYER HATCHERY LINE: Any big hatchery, I would consider a "HATCHERY" line! Egg color is never as good, not as good of confirmation, etc.

I personally do not order birds from people who raise TONS OF BREEDS. Not as much focus on the certain breeds. I fell that I get a better bird from a person that focuses on less than 10 breeds of chickens, preferrably 5. Then you are more apt to get the best of the best.

Hatchery welsummers are in the 3-4 dollar range. Most BREEDERS sell theirs for $5 each. Right now i am running a special for $4.50 each, which is very reasonable for quality welsummers.

That was just my bantams(raised about 100). I raised about 75 LF welsummers as well.

Culling is the only way of getting ahead, and trying to achieve that "PERFECT BIRD!"

Hatchery birds are great if you are looking for eggs, or just hatch chicks for yourself. If you are going to be into showing or breeding high quality birds, it would take YEARS, to get there, if ever to produce a SQ bird out of some hatchery birds!

I do ship, but minimum of 15 chicks per order. I sel a bunch locally, but shipped orderes take priority over pick up orders. Pick up orders get the chicks that hatch after I ship. If I set 80 eggs, I plan on shipping about 1/2 - 3/4 of them that hatch and get shipped out as soon as they are dried off. I also ship with GroGel +.
