Hello,
Can anyone help me. I am in Canada and am trying to help a breeder provide me the appropriate papers to cross the border with some chicks. I know that I need the VS 17-6 form provided by the USDA and am sure that there is direct link for the form on their website but can't find it. If...
That is good to hear. I am looking for a direct link for them to the USDA Exporting form needed to cross the border. It is called the VS17-6 but can't find the form itself, only tones of info. So I sent them the link for the info and asked if they could call. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Yes I will be crossing them into Canada but they said no problem for the paperwork, I even specified to them that I required the USDA form VS17-6. I basically want to know if anybody has had any health issues or payment or shipment issues with.
Hello,
Has anybody ever ordered from Green Fire Farms? I would like your opinions on them as I am trying to get some chicks sent to Vermont. They said that they would gladly fill in a health ceritficate for me but I am sceptical. Hoping they know exactly what papers I need to cross the border.
Hello,
I am still looking for a few blue or lavender orpington chicks and someone who is able to supply the appropriate health papers to be able to cross the border.
Let me know if someone has some. I will gladly pay all expenses including the paperwork of course!
I would like to know if when a breeder claims to NPIP certified does this mean that he may ship to Canada? I thought so but breeders are still not wanting to ship so now I am confused.
Hello I am new to hatching and hatched 3 chicks within a 48-hour period. The first one born 48 hrs ago is weak and lethargic. I tried giving him some pedialyte to hydrate him a little (I read that somewhere on here) but would like other tips if people have some to share.
Thanks,
I would like...
Thanks for the reply Ranchhand. My homemade incubator was rather small so I waited for them to dry and put them in the brooder. The temp is about 95 and they are still sleeping. One had a small drink of water and went to sleep. I am praying for them to survive. They are suffering as I can...
Hello,
I just hatched my first ever chick yesterday at 1:00. I unfortunatly had to help it a little because my humidity was not ideal and the membrane was kind of stuck to it. At first he was all chirpy and jumping around but after a few hours he just laid there motionless but breathing at...
My first ever chick is here!!! A birchen cochin! He looks a little weak but is quite the fighter....squaking a lot and jumping around but takes frequent naps. I hope he'll make it. We named him Lucky.
I fear that this 2nd hatch of mine is ruined once again. I don't see much in my eggs. Maybe 2 or 3 out of 30 eggs. Had temp problems but now I got a Hovabator and will try a new batch tommorow.
Hello,
I am new at incubating and built an incubator out of a cooler as well. An experienced chicken breeder told me to increase the humidity, you must increase the surface area of the water container. Meaning increase the length of the container not the depth and include a sponge. Hope this helps.
Hello to all who have responded and thank you,
After carefull examination of all your answers, I decided to cancel my order with them and go with a private breeder. I hope to get an asnwer from the breeder soon. Does anyone know of any other orpington breeders that may have eggs available to...
I ordered 2 dozen of assorted orpington eggs. They say that there should be black, blue, lavender, buff and some others. I hope they get to the destination in good shape. I well let you guys know.

Hello,
I just wanted to know if anyone has ever ordered from Mypetchicken.com. Just ordered some hatching eggs and wanted to know other people's experience with them. If eggs got there ok.
Hello,
Is there anyone from Florida that has hatching eggs to sell in January? If so, please tell me what city you are in. I have someone going there that may be able to pick them up and send them to me.
thanks,
