meyer hatchery

Hi there! I ordered some Barred Rock hatching eggs from Meyer Hatchery last week, and they are supposed to come sometime next week around Tuesday or Wednesday. This will be my first time hatching eggs in an incubator. I have a Kebonnix 12 egg incubator set up at home. Do y'all have any tips for...

Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard? I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...

A teacher I know is doing the "Chick Quest" classroom hatching eggs project with her students. I have become somewhat of a chicken consultant for her (lol) since she has never raised them. Apparently the program hooked her up with an incubator and will be sending out a dozen eggs in a few weeks...

So I have 5 hens 1 rooster now. I meant to order 3 pullets on meyer hatchery but somehow I ended up getting 9 chicks 😂 I need to make my prefab coop larger. Or add on a second coop. They free range all day only lay and sleep in the coop. I had built a run because I was unsure how my dogs would...

Hi there! This was a sexed pullet from Meyer Hatchery, hatch date January 23, so about 10 weeks old. What do you think? Cockerel or pullet? (And I apologize, not amazing pictures I know.)

So I bought 10 rare breed assortment, 5 cockerels and 5 pullets. I know I have a cream legbar cockerel and a Swedish flower, not sure if it's cockerel or pullet. Anyone willing to help? They're 3 weeks old. I have asked the meyer id facebook group too. Just wanted to ask a larger group of people...

Got some silkie bantam babies in the mail on the 25th. They’re different from raising a barred rock mix, who’s much louder and active. These guys tend to sleep a lot and run away from sunlight. My barred rock would always sprint to it and flop over. These guys are pretty cute though, and they...

Hello. My name is Valerie and my husband and I are new to raising chickens. We have 3 lavender Orpingtons and a mystery bird that we received as the meal maker add on from Meyer Hatchery. I absolutely adore her but can’t quite figure out what breed she is. Any help is much appreciated!

Does anyone have Heritage Barred Rocks from Meyer Hatchery? I'm thinking of ordering from Meyer just so I can get a Heritage Barred Rock rooster. I'm wanting to show my chickens through my school's FFA and I think it might be worth the extra money to start off with a chicken that better fits the...

My chicks I bought from Meyer Hatchery just shipped today at 1:01 pm! I am excited to say that they could arrive as soon as tomorrow! I also am thinking about names for the babies. Comment below your best name ideas for two Gold-Laced Wyandottes, a Green Queen, an Easter Egger, and a Speckled...

Here the Chicks can't wait their turn to Dust-Bathe. They get a 2nd Bowl. (AuntieBellum is live on FB often with the growing Chicks, Spring 2020. Please ignore the other comments and politics, as you may not agree)

Hi Guys! It’s been a while since I’ve ordered from a hatchery and seems to be the best way for me to get chicks. I’ve used 2 hatcheries in the past 1.) Meyer Hatchery 2 times 2.) Ideal Poultry 1 time The birds never really looked as good as in representing the breeds. Some with bad...

my mailman looked so amused handing me a chirping box. the post office actually called me when it arrived... and he showed up 10 mins later... that is not usually how packages are delivered in Brooklyn! 🐥🐥🐥🐥

Hey everyone, I'm not at all affiliated with Meyer Hatchery. We just ordered nine chicks from them in December 2019 and I thought people might find my experience with it useful. I had backyard chickens for years but never got chicks in the mail before. We specifically ordered a Blue Ameracauna...

1st let me say this was my 2nd year getting chicks from Meyer. A total of 16 chicks. All strong and healthy. This year I decided since last year’s were so good that I would splurge and get that frost white legbar I had my eye on last year. Over $50 for that 1 chick. Everything I had read she...

I've spent most of my time so far in the coop/run forums and I am so excited to make the jump over to here. I'm a first-time chicken wrangler and am set to pick my chicks up at Meyer Hatchery on May 28th (I'm lucky I live only 45 minutes away!!) Here is what I have ordered: 4 buckeye females...

As I stated in a previous post on gender questions, (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/i-really-hope-these-barred-rocks-are-girls.1305681) I've been having reeeeally bad luck trying to get female barred rocks. Many have suggested ordering starter pullets so their sex can be pretty much...

So I recently received my Meyer Hatchery order which included a Meyer meal maker and 2 rare assorted...so 3 mystery chicks. I identified one right away as silver laced Wyandotte as I am familiar with those. The other 2 I am not sure. I'd love some help .The blue chick has dark legs but pink...
