    My Pet Chicken

    I purchased 4 silkie day-old pullets from MPC several years ago, and all four were sexed correctly. When I purchased 4 more bantams in 2019, all were sexed correctly, again. I used to say I'd order from MPC only because of their 100% accuracy track record I've had with correctly sexed chicks...

    Suddenly URGENT: Southern VA/Triangle NC for sale: small flock, 14 wks old: Australorp Cockerel, 3 Buff Orpington Pullets $75

    Purchased day-old chicks from My Pet Chicken, who have always had a great track record in properly sexing their chicks when I have purchased from them in the past. This little quartet is from hatch the week of February 8. Somehow, the Australorp cockerel passed as a pullet, and I cannot have a...

    my pet chicken reviews

    As a follow up to receiving my shipment from MPC a few months ago, I wanted to report that all five girls from this batch are healthy, happy, and beginning to lay. A month after this shipment, I also received my bantam girls, and they have now reached the age that if they were going to surprise...

    Did you buy sexed Silkies from MyPetChicken.com and....

    I thought I should follow up to my earlier post by reporting that ALL of the female silkies I ordered turned out to be girls. Yay! Silkies are notorious for being difficult to sex correctly, so I'm thrilled that all three were exactly what I paid for. (So were the other 8 pullets I've ordered...

    Hen continues to lay soft shell eggs - what's wrong ?

    It's been months since you posted, but I am having the same problem with one hen out of my 19 girls. She's my only Buff Orpington, about a year and a half old, and for the past couple of months, she's laid only rubber eggs. Sometimes I find them already broken in the nesting box, and sometimes...

    my pet chicken reviews

    I'm sorry to hear of the post office errors that wiped out the majority of your chicks, @chickisoup :( How awful to have to open up that package, knowing how slim their odds were for surviving so long in the cold. As was mentioned, each box has the name of the employee who packed the...

    Silkie thread!

    How old is it? Last year I purchased a cream and tan Silkie chick from a breeder who told me I was buying a porcelain pullet, but when the feathers came in, my pullet turned out to be a snow white cockerel.

    If it makes you feel any better, I just checked the heat pack that shipped with my chicks on the same day as yours. It's still toasty warm! I hope you receive your babies first thing in the morning.

    my pet chicken reviews

    Thank you so much! I will look forward to her super dark eggs in a few months. My Welsummer lays gorgeous dark brown eggs with speckles, but I've read (and seen pictures) of BCM eggs that are even darker. Is there anything in the world that brings as much pure joy as the cuteness of...

    my pet chicken reviews

    The babies have arrived! I could hear them chirping away in the back of the post office before the mail carrier brought them out front! They were well-packed with a heat pack underneath a tightly-woven, thick and cushiony nesting pad. Although they were in transit for over 24 hours, they were...

    North Carolina

    I think they closed. Try the Backyard Chickens in NC Facebook group or call The Urban Chicken NC in Raleigh to see when their next swap event is happening. They'll probably have information on a network of triangle chicken owners/sellers/breeders.
