    Are there any breeders or hatcheries in VA?

    Mike, I am the one who made the original request and I did not have much luck on the Virginia website - lots of folks way to far away. I am in Halifax County Virginia and still looking for a reliable source. I have not gone to the TSC swap yet - plan to do that in June and that may be my...

    Sounds wonderful! What type of breeds will be there? How does the swap work? People just show up and can buy whatever? I assume it also means breeders can "swap" with each other - hence the name "swap"? (my mother did not raise a dummy :-)) Sharon Kinsey Follow YOur Dream Farm...

    I really, really want a Faverolle roo if I can get one. I had a beautiful boy - Roodee - but something got him. Found him all mangled - no one else hurt or missing - really strange. If I cannot get a healthy Faverolle before season out will let you know. Thanks very much. I'd love to see...

    Really bad experience with My Pet Chicken

    The last chick died yesterday. I am beginning to wonder if they did not have some virus, bacterial infection or whatever. Anyway - will see what happens with next shipment. I would gladly order my chicks in the winter if they were available - I know heat can be a problem. Sharon Kinsey...

    Hi all, I am in Halifax County. Looking for someone within a few hours of me who is hatching Faverolles or other interesting breeds for sale - I just received an order of chicks from MPC who uses USPS who contracts out to Fedex and UPS - and 4 were DOA, another died that night, and one died...

    Hi all, I am on the border of NC and VA in Virgilina. Hoping to find someone who is breeding Faverolles and other interesting breeds so I can drive to pick up healthy chicks rather than receive dead ones from USPS. Sharon Kinsey Follow YOur Dream Farm www.followyourdreamfarm.net

    Really bad experience with My Pet Chicken

    Update - 2 more of the chicks died. I am left with one. I cannot tell you how angry and sad I am. Yes MPC is going to reship but there is a problem with USPS - and I got it straight from my mail carrier. USPS no longer uses its own planes for packages - it is subcontracted out to Fedex and...

    Really bad experience with My Pet Chicken

    I finally got a call from MPC - they are going to arrange a reshipment but I will have to accept substitutions as not all the chick types I wanted are available now. He said that USPS has changed its description of Express. They no longer can or will guarantee one day delivery even thought...

    Hello from Virginia

    The problem with TSC is that they have a very limited selection - no Faverolles to be sure. I am just floored that these companies do not use express delivery . Hoping to hear from someone in my neck of the woods that has chicks for sale. This is actually a better time to get chicks as they...

    Really bad experience with My Pet Chicken

    I just received an order of 7 chicks from MPC. This is my third order - first two were great. Out of 7 chicks, 5 dead. I am so upset - I feel like I sent these chicks to their death! I tried calling and emailing MPC - no response so far. I checked with a couple other online companies - they...

    Are there any breeders or hatcheries in VA?

    Tiffany, I am in South Central Virginia - around 60 miles north of Raleigh Durham. I am looking for chicks locally as I just received a shipment of 7 chicks - 5 dead. I need to replace my Faverolle rooster and I want a few other new breeds to add to my collection - must be cold and heat...

    Hello from Virginia

    Hi all, I have a small hobby farm in rural Virginia. Have a small flock of Faverolles, Easter Eggers, Wellsummers, and Blue Splash Marans. I lost my rooster a few months ago due to a not to bright husband who failed to connect up the hot wire after feeding - do not know what got him but it...
