Picked up my Meyers order this morning! I ordered 10 female + 15 straight run of the rare breed assortment, plus the two freebies. All 27 arrived upright! I’ve never had chicks shipped before and was a nervous wreck - the tracking never updated and I was so worried they were stuck in Cleveland!

I had called my local PO earlier in the week to let them know they were coming, and they called me first thing this morning (as I was already pulling into the parking lot 🤣)

So ≈ 48 hours from hatch to my brooder, not too bad! None appear to be struggling as of yet.

One came banded for ID, but I otherwise haven’t had any luck with the chick identification page photos Meyers offers (by my own inexperience).

What does it look like I’ve got here?

Got the most of these, 10 I think - feathered feet:

2 of these: (the toes are fine, straightened out when I moved it)

3 of these, love their feathered “boots” 😅:

Here’s the banded one, I’m assuming SFH roo? The other option for yellow band was a black-split lavender Orpington:

This one, who wasn’t happy to have his picture taken apparently:

This one, with two random black splotches on its back:

And here’s the whole lot upon opening the box! There was a divider separating them into two groups.

I think the first ones are Black Copper Marans, and the yellow feather footed ones with extra toes are Salmon Faverolles. Imma take a closer look at the others, those are just the ones that I know for sure. Plus your banded one is definitely a SFH cockerel.

You’re good! Didn’t even notice extra toes lol, but sure enough there they are. Thank you!
