    new mom

    Congratulations on your new Silkies! I have a two, a blue named Itty Bitty (she is the smallest in the flock but oh so mighty and actually the head hen!) and a buff named Lola (like yours!). They make GREAT mamas if you ever want to add baby chicks to your flock but wait until they are broody...

    Do baby chicks sleep with their heads on the floor?

    Here is my Fritzie, a silver laced Polish - the Queen of Lounge :) After a good meal and a fully belly.

    How likely are my chicks to survive their trip?

    I ordered from My Pet Chicken last July and all 5 arrived from Ohio to So. Cal alert and healthy. That batch was shipped at 5 PM on Monday, received a call from the Post Office the next day at 10:30 AM. I ordered 4 more which hatched Tuesday this week due to Monday being a holiday, they did...

    Also, once you get them, immediately offer them water and food. Dip their beaks into the water a few times and they will know what to do. Have the brooder ready. By chance, are either of your other chickens broody? Especially you silkie. You can slip the babies under one of them at night...

    My chicks didn't arrive... :(

    I am in the same boat! I have an order from My Pet Chicken and the tracking said it was shipped on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, arrival at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 4th at Noon. I called the Post Office 3 times today and they have no idea what's going on. This is my 2nd time from MPC and the first time...

    Will my chicks always run away from me?

    Mine were skittish in the beginning but at about 4 months, they started to come when they saw me. I hand fed mine treats and they learned that I was "the provider of food". They also learned the sound of a plastic grocery bag so all I have to do is shake it and they know they are getting...

    Hey Pharmacy Chick - My polish gal, Phyllis (aptly named after Phyllis Diller, may she rest in peace) is turning out to be a white crest black polish. I thought she might be a white crested silver but she is all black except her head. Just curious what your two turned to be. Also the other 4...

    How does the shipping work with chicks?

    I just received my chicks last Tuesday. Here is the box they came in. I had called my local post office of my zip code to let them know chicks were on the way. When they called the next day, I asked them if the box was making noise. He said, "Oh yes, can you hear them?" I told him that was...

    Awww! Way too cute. Mine came from MPC this past Tuesday and one of them is the assorted polish and two are assorted silkies. I just went on to the MPC website and looked at every related photo to compare coloring and markings. It looks like my 2 silkies are blue and the polish looks to be a...
