    Show me/ tell me abt your micro/mini homestead

    We only have an acre of land. We have two female goats for milk, 12 hens who lay between 8-12 eggs a day, some rabbits for their manure, a greenhouse for growing food 10 months out the year. The upfront cost was for the coop, the cost of the goats and chickens. It's been less than a year and we...

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    Here are my Mt Healthy chicks at 5 weeks. They are all doing great except one is half the size of the others. She eats, drinks, her vent looks great but when I pick her up she will just lay on me and fall asleep. I don't know what could be wrong with her or what I can do. She did get a worm...

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    I think what happens is it says they shipped when they create a shipping label but haven't sent them out yet. Then you get an email when they actually go. That happens with lots of my shipments through Amazon.

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    Mt Healthy did send me an email when they shipped. I got a call early, 7AM, to come get the chicks. You probably have done this, but check your spam folder. Sometimes important email's get sent there. I have emailed Mt Healthy multiple times once just to get a copy of what breeds were in my...

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    Okay, I am an idiot and was completely wrong, I apologize. I looked over the video again, and you can see that 5 breed names that we got have been checked off. BUT I couldn't read it due to the video quality. I emailed Mt Healthy and told them what happened and ask for a copy of the packing...

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    Unfortunately my box nor my packing slip have the breed's listed. We must have ordered different variety packages. I have video of the box from every angle I videoed from the moment my fiance brought them in the house, taking them out one by one, and I have the box clearly from all angles in...

    I don't know what breeds they are, they don't tell you, they are too young and just getting their feathers to be sure. They will send you at least 3 different breeds. It looks like we have 4 or 5 breeds but it's hard to say until they get a little older.

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    That happened to me too. I ordered them with the idea they would be coming in 5-6 days, but when I got the confirmation a few days later the actual shipping date was for almost 3 weeks later. I was a little disappointed but it gave me time to better prepare. If you don't have the brooder...

    Very Happy with my Mt. Healthy order

    Hi, we ordered from Mt Healthy. They arrived the day after they were shipped. I am sure it depends on where you are in the US. got a call from the post office early in the morning, 7AM, and we went over and got them. We ordered 10 rare pullet's, we received 11. They are a little over 2 weeks...

    Hello from southern Virginia

    What a kind thing to say, I have barely been able to sleep checking on the chicks with a tiny light. It's ridiculous, it reminds me of when my children were newborn's. I keep reminding myself, you will lose this girls someday some way so calm down, lol. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet everyone. I...

    Hello from southern Virginia

    I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome! Our chick's all came this morning. They all seem to be in good health. I am so nervous I will not do something right, lol. I have taken about 30 minutes of video and tons of pictures. My family and friends are probably sick of seeing them already. I...
