Windy Meadows Hatchery

Has anyone ordered CXs from them? Based in Texas, it looks like CXs is all they do and only $1.60 per bird.

Thanks for sharing! That is a great deal. It looks like they have a minimum of 20 chicks though.

Yelcome! They also have a discount that increases at 50 bird increments. If enough friends want to get in on it, I'll order 50.

Really curious if anyone has dealt with them tho.

Well, color me excited! I just took the plunge and ordered 50 chicks for mid June. 47 of them are spoken for and I might close taking orders to allow for an inexperienced farmer If they all survive my abuse then extra meat in the pantry will be ok with us.

Best I've found is $2.15 from Welp Hatchery. Let us know how the Windy Meadows Hatchery birds turn out, and how big they are when you process them.

Hopefully you're joking and you actually take good care of the meat birds.

Yes, totally tongue in cheek there. I hope my birds will have the best of care, a wonderful life on grass and only one bad day.

Well, time to get the brooder ready!

I got a call from someone in TN, letting me know he got my shipping email, yesterday. I used the contact form to ask about it, but no PH # so don't know where exactly our chicks are going yet. They hatched yesterday so I expect them tomorrow (Fri 6/14)

I did ask how the hatchery was (he's a repeat customer with them) and he said the birds arrived in good condition, only lost one a week or so later. Will update when I have more.

Oh and I dbl checked and my correct email addy is in their system so maybe it was an e-gremlin that sent my email somewhere else?

Was there a shipping fee too? Or just the chick prices

Oh, I hope you report back on how these chickens do for you. Having tried many meat birds from different hatcheries I have found hardiness and rate of gain vary drastically between hatcheries. I hope these are great meaties for you!
