About Us
In 1985, Karen Meyer, owner of Meyer Hatchery decided to set out on a new business endeavor, out of which Meyer Hatchery was born. It all started when Meyer attended a chick seminar at the local hardware store. While at the class, she met another feather fancier who had been running a hatchery for quite some time with her husband. They were both ready to get out of the industry so Meyer took over some of the breeding stock. With only a few used incubators, she was up and running, offering just four varieties of chickens to whoever was interested. Word of mouth and a passion for hatching escalated the hobby into a thriving business. Meyer quickly outgrew the garage that doubled as the hatchery so in 1999 Meyer and her husband built a brand new facility with state-of-the-art equipment to further dedicate herself to hatching. In addition she hired a few employees and offered a wider variety of poultry to suit her customer’s needs. With a team behind her, Meyer put the hatchery on the map. Read the rest of our story HERE.
