Today at Meyer Hatchery.....

They're packing and shipping my chicks!

They are packing ours too!! But we live close enough that we are going to pick them up. Can't wait! What kind and how many are you getting?

 

[Lynette]

I have 5 coming from them today too. Should be getting them in the morning.

Congrats to all! You will love the birds from Meyers, ours are 8 weeks today and all are thriving and they grow so fast, but all are lovely birds, Meyers was GREAT!

I got my chicks from Meyer's almost 1 month ago.

They are soooo awesome and are growing very fast!
Good luck with your chicks & hopefully they get there safely.

So does that make us related by chickens??

Pick up is a little far but I'm hoping they are here tomorrow. Getting 18 but a bunch of different kinds, 1 each of Columbian, Gold Silver and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, a Partridge Rock, a Buff Orpington, a Dominique, a Golden Lakenvelder, Blue Andalusian, Golden Campine, Sicilian Buttercup, Cucko Maran, two Welsummers, and three (one of which is the roo) Ameraucanas and I got the Meal Maker so one something I don't know yet.... Does that make 18??

What about you? What are you getting? You probably have yours now. I'm envyous!

(And---here's my disclaimer--- I know someone is just itching to tell me that since they are from a hatchery the Ameraucanas are "really Easter Eggers" which are "just mutts". I prefer to think of them as "barnyard quality"Ameraucanas. I have two bassets, both AKC but each has some little flaw, a leg too long an ear too short, that means neither is show quality. I (and they) could care less. Stop anyone on the street and ask what kind of dogs they are and they'll tell you "Basset Hound". Same thing in my mind with these Ameraucanas. So I have 2 Basset Hounds and 3 Ameraucanas and none of them are heading for any show rings!
