I read some mixed reviews on the forum for Meyers but I have to add my own. I have done orders in the past 2011 on and gotten products (non chicks) they were great, answered all my questions and were wonderful.
This year I ordered 25 of the Fry Pan Bargain chicks. I got 27 of them instead of 25. We lost one that was DOA from shipping and another seemed kind of logey and not good. He made it past the 48 hour mark and passed on the 3rd day. They refunded him and sent me another chick in my next order. I think the chicks would have been fine. Arrived the first week in May but we had a huge temp swing and were back in the 20's the morning they arrived. I have messaged or called 5-6 times since this order was delivered so I could make changes to orders add and subtract birds and or move order dates when birds came available that I wanted that were sold out before. The staff is always great super helpful and kind and ready to do whatever you need them to to make sure you're happy with what you get.
My second order arrived Tuesday the 7th at the post office. Due to the horrible cell reception where I work I didn't get the messages that they were there until a few minutes before the post office closed and so they had to wait the night at the post office in town. I picked them up this morning and brought them home. (2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Blue Orpingtons, 1 Lavender, 2 Blue Cochins, a replacement roo from my last order who is a white chick, a meal maker and a Gold Laced Wyandotte) All chicks arrived very healthy and ready to be placed in the brooder. Even though I couldn't get them until this morning their heat pack was still very warm. We had the power go off around 9:30 am due to work on the lines so they had to go without a heat light for a few hours (in our house so it was round 72 degrees) One of the Cochins acted a little cold once the power came back on around 10:30 I held her for quite a while up under the heat light and set up the thermostat for their light and by this evening she was walking around and eating and drinking with the other chicks. My Blue Orpingtons came banded so I would know who they were and all seem very hearty and very healthy. I can't attest to adult size or body type but I will add that later as they grow.
Attaching pictures and video of what I have received but I would definitely order again happy with the quality of what I received and the staffs assistance any time I have had an issue.
