This past May, I ordered 15 hatching eggs from Meyer Hatchery. The eggs included:
6 Cream Legbar
3 Easter Egger
3 Olive Egger
3 Buff Orpington
The eggs arrived within 48 hours, and were packaged well. One of the eggs had a minuscule crack, and one had some bubbles inside from being shaken. My only complaint is that there was not an extra egg included (many other reviews mentioned they received one, and I assumed everyone did).
Out of the 15 eggs, after removing the shaken & cracked eggs which didn’t develop, only 1 appeared infertile.
From the 12 fertile eggs left, I successfully hatched:
2 Cream Legbars
2 Buff Orpington
3 Olive Egger
2 Easter Egger
A CCL & an EE made it to the end but didn’t hatch. So 75% success from shipped hatching eggs. I was quite happy with this number. I only wish I had hatched more than 3 pullets! Lots of boys, and none have shown agression as of yet.
I would order eggs from Meyer again. The prices for most breeds are very reasonable (about $3 per egg for basic breeds.) Hopefully they will start including an extra egg once more. I did not request a refund for the cracked egg, as it was so tiny I didn’t think it would show up on camera and it was only one of them.
If anyone else ordered eggs from Meyer, I would love to hear your experience. If anyone has any questions please let me know!
