Meyer hatchery?

All is well with the chicklets! Here are pixs of a few of them. A buff orpington, a golden campine, speckled sussex and not sure what the brown-headed one is yet. Most of them a sociable, too, which is nice. They'll come jump on my hand and perch on my arm. We're taking a field trip to the backyard tonight.

We ordered 7 chicks. They arrived the day after shipping. They had sent 8, but one was DOA. The others have turned out to be 2 buff brahmas, one light brahma, a white rock, a barred rock, a RIR, and an EE. Our RIR was so tiny, I thought she was a bantam. She is now catching up but still a bit smaller. I'm worried our light brahma might be a rooster since s/he is soooo slow to feather compared to the rest. our EE has a cross-beak.
So, all in all... most of our birds seem healthy at 7 weeks. Not totally sure I got all pullets, we shall see. The cross-beak is a genetic flaw, so I do wonder if they are breeding birds with an obvious beak deformity.

The dark-headed one was my olive egger. She died last week at ten days old; she just didn't grow/eat/drink like the rest of them and spent far more time under MHP than the others. It was sad, but other than giving her nutri-drench, I didn't know what else to do. The other eight are all getting big! The spitzes are getting their first little mohawk feathers.

Ok, got my chicks today they shipped yesterday so they got here quick. I only got 4. I got a faverolle, dominique, buff brahma and a speckled sussex supposedly all girls. Everybody arrived alive and active. No deformities, the only thing the faverolle has some sooty spots. I am hoping it is just because she's hatchery stock and not because she's a dude.

I ordered 7 chicks in 2015, 7 in 2017 and 6 this year. No problems other than one of the Barnevelders last year turned out to be a cockerel. Meyer reimbursed me the full purchase price.
