Tour How a Hatchery Works

[@songbirdrebel5895]

Live in Canada and it’s heart warming to see Meyer give male chicks a chance to live when compared to other hatcheries and/or egg industries

[@cliffordwilliams9597]

What the heck do they do with all the males??? I'm really curious! Who wants a bunch of easter egger or leghorn roosters???

@@victoriacampbell5877 That's what I thought, to which @Stony Ridge Farmer replied "Any more Netflix knowledge? Every bird hatched is sold at this hatchery....(Hint: Don't get your information about farming from agenda based documentaries)" So if every bird hatched is sold.... WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THE EGGER ROOS????????

I ended up ordering from Meyer in the fall partially based on this video. The Meal Maker was a big part of that decision. First time owning chickens much less getting them in the mail. Got 8 beautiful birds of 7 different breeds and they are all happy and healthy and just about ready to start laying. Meal Maker turned out to be a beautiful Barred Rock who is my top hen and loved sit on my shoulder when she was younger.

I just love it . I am 62 and my granddaughter is 12 and we are trying it as a business . lots of questions have been answered . Thank you Meyers

I just found this. This is an incredible operation. Thank you and thanks to Karen for taking the time to give us a tour.

I've seen many Hatchery tours but Josh this was the best made I've seen so far. You covered a lot of territory in such a short time. We love Karen and all that she represents. We love chickens.

[@leesvision]

This is awesome. Im a fan of this hatchery owner is awesome too., I've got many chick's from them before most all grew up to be very good hens. Much love ❤️ 🙏

[@mrva99]

Have never ordered chicks from Meyer hatchery before but after watching your video of their operation I would not hesitate in ordering from them from now on in the future. You did an awesome job with this video, they should give you free chicks for a long time! Very professional job! Thumbs up!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Great people...great birds and just a great family operation....very happy to be partnered up with them to show off what they offer

[@scrapironprepper]

Ordered twice with good results...…….

Had a chance to work here. Kicking myself now after seeing how clean and humane the process is

[@alyssaswiney8895]

This is so interesting to watch. I work at a farm store that gets chicks every week and this gives me a different perspective on how and where our chicks come from knowing they're cared for from the beginning!

[@fitzwater504]

I just ordered 8 baby day old chicks today!! 🐣 From there company. I can’t wait this will be my first time raising them myself. I grew up going to my families farm picking & washing up eggs & racking. I’ve had one rode island red. Now it’s time to get my farm started. Wish me luck!!

[@emrythompson]

I live on the west side of Wooster Ohio, we get our ducks from Meyer Hatchery. We love going to their open house. You should go if the COVID 19 outbreak is over by then,( it most likely won’t)

[@missparadise879]

I'm so glad this randomly came up. I was considering ordering from them. I love their meal deal you mentioned. We actually already planned on adding more than we need to our coop so that we can help a few friends I have who have not been so fortunate in life and food doesn't always come easy to them. Thank you Myer for doing that!

[@johnreinburg859]

Thanks Josh, I enjoyed the video walk through of Meyer Hatchery! Everything is so clean and organized! They honestly take care of the little lives in their hands.

Just fantastic thanks, I’ll look to you all next time I place my baby order, Thanks for a wonderful tour

[@jesssabinironveilhomestead7269]

Thank you for posting this, I was very impressed by the way they handle things. I just ordered my chicks from Meyer Hatchery because of this video and doing my own research, I'll have them April 30th-ish. These will be my first chickens, my mom has some but these are my first.

[@MinhLe-vj9ij]

Now I know where and how to order . Very useful information. Thank you.

I've ordered from Meyer three times, always happy with the birds I got. Good friendly service. Nice to see the people behind the name!

[@johnliberty3647]

First time I ordered it was from Meyers, I had 3 extra chicks and all of them survived many years. I have ordered from others since and never had I had a full batch of chicks survive until maturity. I would always order from Meyer if they had a bigger selection.

I think I know where I'm getting my birds for this year. If Meyer's hatchery people read this... You are doing awesome!! ❤

[@dshe8637]

You know what happens to male chicks, right? No kindness in being thrown into a grinder alive

[@rustictraditionshomestead]

@@dshe8637 That's not true for every hatchery. I hatch many chicks now and I don't grind chicks. You are talking about the huge hatcheries that don't sell to the public, they supply pullets for the giant egg farms. I still don't believe they grind chicks when they can sell them instead. Maybe 20yrs ago... Maybe.
