Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

Keep going back to their website between now and May 15. Sometimes people cancel their orders, or the birds lay more eggs than expected, and a few more become available. If any Dorkings pop up for May 15, just put in a minimum order of 3 birds for May 15 as soon as you see them online. You can call customer service later to have the orders combined (to save on shipping) and delete any extra birds you had to order that you don't want/need.

I had to do this several times with my order to get the Black Copper Marans I wanted, as well as the Olive Eggers. Staff at Meyers were super friendly and were the ones that suggested I do this in the first place, so they are pretty used to it.

Good luck!

If you see the ones you want are available and chat is active, just chat with them and ask them to add the new ones to your existing order. You just need your order number and they can do it as you chat. I've done this a couple of times and I can see the order update online get a confirmation email of the change before I even end the chat. Easy-peasy

Thank you so much! I would’ve never thought of that.

I drool over those too and not just the eggs, Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas are gorgeous!

Not much going on here, just waiting on eggs, they are 20 weeks old but Amelia the Golden Buff is only just now finding her voice (sounds like she has a frog in her throat) and has no interest in the nest boxes. Ironically Victoria, our Silver Grey Dorking, a breed notorious for maturing late is the most interested in the nest boxes and the hollow eggs in them, she comes and inspects them when I'm cleaning the droppings board everyday. Two days ago I noticed Amelia has a scar on one of her wattles I'm guessing it was either from Morgaine at the top or Baby Buff at the bottom who is trying to pass Amelia.

Oh and at Kindergarten orientation this morning I found out that Rowan's teacher is not one of the three that hatch chicks. She said she can barely keep house plants alive, lol. They will visit the other classes in the spring when the chicks hatch though. At least that's less temptation to take some home, especially when they won't be sexed. We can just plan on getting three chicks from Meyer this spring. I admire those of you who homeschool, I have friends who do, though they don't live nearby. The husband insists on the socialization aspect of public school and I don't think I have the patience plus we need a second income, so yeah. The heavy emphasis on testing is concerning to us though.

This post is all over the place and does not talk about heat. Are you rambling or under any kind of ?
