    MPC ships chicks from Amish country, Ohio. My chicks were shipped out Tuesday (according to the DC# scan, they were first scanned at 7:30 pm) and they arrived at the post office here in Canton, CT around 11:00 AM Wednesday. My last shipment from them also came the day after it shipped.

    Hatchery chiks ...yes or no?

    I've gotten chicks from Meyer, My Pet Chicken and efowl.com and have not had a problem at all. I am actually awaiting a call from my PO now to tell me to go pick up another round of chicks from My Pet Chicken.

    Connecticut!

    Haven't checked in on here in a while! If you're in northwestern CT, where are you getting your straw at a reasonable price? Preciously, I was only picking up a bale or so a year, so I didn't mind picking it up at the farm stand, but I'm needing to buy more of it now so I'd like a better...

    We became chick farmers on Wednesday, April 13th, 2011, with a box full of 2 dozen assorted rainbow layers from Meyer Hatchery. After hours of forum threads, pics on facebook, googling and going through Meyer's entire catalog, I think we have the following: Chick #1 - Appenzeller Spitzhauben...

    Guinea laying question

    Quote: I feel for you - my chickens are 6 months old and only 1 out of the bunch is laying. We call them our little freeloaders, lol. The one who *is8* laying just started to lay last week. The guineas are 2 full months younger and started laying first, lol.

    Guinea laying question

    They're only a few months old; they were definitely not laying prior to a couple of weeks ago. I may have to try the food coloring thing just to figure out who's laying what!

    Guinea laying question

    We have two guineas that are laying; one lays brown eggs, the other white eggs. I can't for the life of me figure out which is laying which eggs - one is a lavender and the other is a pearl - anyone know which would lay which egg? They both started laying, the brown egg layer about 2 weeks ago...

    Very bummed - we lost our first chicken to predators yesterday. My 10 year old was putting them back in yesterday evening and found one chicken about a foot away from the fence with no head. My best guess is that something reached in through the fencing trying to grab something, and grabbed...

    O how I hate my Rabbits...

    They only need about 20 seconds, never mind 20 minutes, lol. I had my last doe separated from my buck and they bred through their cages, while both inside (their own cages). unless the males for some reason were uninterested, I am betting you will have a litter in about a month.
