What Myers Poultry Farm, Llc does

Myers Poultry Farm, LLC is a family-owned NPIP-certified chick hatchery headquartered in South Fork, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1988 (with predecessor operations dating to 1981 as Myers Started Capons), the company hatches and ships day-old chicks, turkey poults, ducklings, goslings, French Guinea keets, bantams, and heritage turkey hatching eggs directly to customers across the United States via the US Postal Service. Its core technology is NPIP-certified hatchery operations with Pullorum Clean status (certificate 23-524), standard vaccinations (Coccidiosis, Marek's, IBD), and a proprietary hydration supplement (AquaStart) included on qualifying orders to support live poultry during shipping. The product portfolio spans commercial meat breeds (Cornish Cross, Red Ranger, Red Bro), heritage turkeys (Blue Slate, Standard Bronze, Artisan Gold, Mini Classic), commercial turkeys (Broad Breasted White/Bronze), brown egg layers (Rhode Island Red, Black Australorp, Sex Links, Wyandottes, and others), waterfowl, bantams, and ancillary poultry supplies.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce hatchery with a tiered unit-pricing model (e.g., Cornish Cross ranging from $2.25 to $4.15 per chick depending on quantity, heritage turkey poults at $18–$23 each, hatching eggs at $120 per dozen). Customers select breeds, quantities, sex preference, and scheduled hatch dates online, with free shipping to Zone 1 and Zone 2 on qualifying orders. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time transactional sales of live poultry, hatching eggs, and supplementary products such as AquaStart ($9.25) and StresEEZ Plus ($9.75). The company serves two primary customer segments — commercial and small-scale growers seeking NPIP-certified chicks with proven genetics, and backyard homesteaders purchasing for personal egg and meat production — with secondary demand from educational institutions (4-H, FFA) and heritage/specialty markets. Marketing is conducted through the company website, an email newsletter, and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok), supported by educational blog content and customer farm features.
