Huge selection, adorable chicks, and amazing customer service! Ordered 10 chicks and unfortunately lost a couple (may have been mishandled during shipping to Alaska), and Meyer Hatchery immediately credited the loss towards new chicks and paid for shipping. All of the surviving chickies are growing well, healthy, and happy. Definitely will be ordering from this hatchery in the future!

We own an LLC and purchase all of our meat birds and egg layers from Meijer hatchery. They are phenomenal and they know what they’re talking about! I highly recommend to anybody and everybody out there looking to get into chickens, ducks, and/or turkeys!! we have been using them for over two years now and I have not been disappointed once!!

I've placed orders for a few years now. If there were ever any chicks that arrived not alive they always refunded me right away for the deceased one. I've only had that happened twice. Other than that the chicks have always been healthy and grown up nicely! I've only ever had 1 rooster in a group of chicks that were meant to be female only. They honored their policy about that and refunded for that one. I'll definitely keep ordering from them ?

3 weeks ago was my first order with Meyer Hatchery and I was very impressed on how easy it was to order and how fast shipping was. I am in CA and was worried about the travel for the chicks. Once they arrived, my post office called me immediately. They arrived healthy and the box contained everything I needed to make sure their first few days went smooth. Unfortunately, in the first 9 hours, one chick passed, I tried everything to help her, but nothing worked. I feel the travel was too much stress on her. I notified Meyer Hatchery via their loss reporting form. Meyer responded within 24 hours and refunded me. Wonderful experience and I will be ordering again. The 3 remaining chicks are healthy and happy.

I've ordered lots of chickens (like, a lot) from Meyer Hatchery through the mail over the years, and even a few ducks. All of the birds have been healthy, happy and gorgeous. The few times I have encountered an issue, customer service has always been top notch as well. Highly recommended!

Ordered 17 female chicks. Two died within a day of delivery (which is a first for me as I've ordered from three different hatcheries over the years with no deaths; and also incubate hatching eggs) & one ended up being a rooster. Too many issues for one order when I haven't had either issue before elsewhere. Love the chicks I purchased that lived.

This review is written on behalf of my mom, who recently ordered some Green Queen bantams. Customer service is excellent and polite. Babies came (Ohio to Chicagoland area) within 24 hours of our email indicating that they had been shipped. All our tiny babies looked energetic and healthy upon arrival and quickly started eating and drinking in their new home. The variety within the breed is so interesting, from dark black to mottled browns to yellow. This will truly be a unique and beautiful flock! Thank you, Meyer Hatchery, for this wonderful experience.

5 out of 12 eggs hatched, only 4 servived. On day 24 it was clear the remaining 7 weren't going to hatch so I opened them. They were nothing more than half cooked eggs. These were in a incubator with even temperature and rotation. I get that variables might render some not to hatch, especially had they been shipped during cold weather, not the case. I do not believe these eggs were all in fact fertilized.Done with Meyers Hatchery.Brenda

Not the greatest picture. This was my First time ordering live chicks. Delivery was within 24hrs of scheduled date. All 16 chicks were very energetic. All seem very happy and full of life. I basically bought the orphans?. I purchased a batch of unclaimed chicks so I have an assortment that I need to identify. I'm perfectly ok with that, the description even said that they wouldn't be identified for me, but I did notice a link to help identify. I will get on that as soon as they have time to settle in good. Communication was good, I received a notification as soon as the shipping label was created. No complaints. I will update if needed.

We had a positive experience with Meyer Hatchery. We ordered our chicks 4 months in advance. They arrived safe and healthy we did not experience one loss. Customer service was friendly and professional. Love the selection of chicks they offer. We trust Meyer Hatchery. We have already put another order in for 4 months down road. This time we plan on driving to Ohio to pick them up. Our postal service is a bit slow and all it takes is someone mis handling them for there to be losses don’t want to risk that.

My chicks hatch date was 4/24/23. I was surprised they made it to my local post office the next day, 4/25/23, before noon (from Ohio to Florida). All 9 look healthy and growing every day. Now I just hope they are really all female, only time will tell lol

UPDATE... all of the chicks we ordered ended up being hens! They are now full grown, very healthy and all are laying a variety of different colored eggs. We (and our neighbors) couldn't be happier.

I've used Meyer a few times. i get a few roosters with my hen order but this is normal for sexing accuracy rates. I live in Rhode Island and find my chicks arrive 3 days post hatch date, usually in fare condition. i do find some breeds don't ship well (top hats) and aren't worth the loss due to fragile breeds. I usually loose a few and they have great service in my experience. They are available on chat, email and phone. Unfortunately my recent order of 50 chicks was canceled and rescheduled for reorder in 4 months. This order was an assortment and okay to ship short if inventory changes. This is within their policy (and same for most hatcheries). I called and was told they must have been in short supply and was given a refund. bummer! overall would buy again

Chicken math is the worst.. and I'm not good at it... but Meyer makes it great. Lovely selection in their catalog and the bin chicks are great to get.Got our egg cartons too from here as can't be beat.We've been purchasing from here for years and even got the blessing of having one of our chickens featured in the catalog and website.Great feed choices too and love getting my grit here too.

I ordered 2 sets of chicks and I’m super pleased with Meyers!! I was so nervous about my second set as they shipped on a record breaking cold front for Alabama in October. All birds arrived happy and well! Very impressed that they send the birds with a heat pack in cold weather months. All 15 chicks are still doing well and thriving! I have another set of chicks that are going to arrive May 2023. Customer service is also great!
