Hey guys... so I've been having terrible luck trying to raise my babies this summer. In June I got an order of 3 chicks from MPC - those were all the chicks that I wanted, and I got a cuckoo marans pullet, a partridge cochin pullet, and a salmon faverolles pullet. Unfortunately, the faverolles...

Mine get a flake at night along with their pellets that they don't really eat they just like to pick on, but during the day they go out in a pasture and graze all day

Quote: Thanks! She's a really sweet girl she loves to get pet and held. I think she's pretty old because she barely ever lays... it's actually pretty funny how we got her she just showed up in our horse paddock one day. This has happened with random chickens a few times and my family thinks...

pullet

That looks like an EE to me because of the green legs, but I haven't had one like that so I can't show any pics. She's cute though!

Thanks! My dad and I built the coop a few summers ago

Just thought I'd share pics of my girls and my chicks hanging out.. it's such a beautiful day! The big girls eating scratch The coop 5 wk old Standard Partridge Cochin and 3 week old Splash Ameraucana chicks 3 week old Silkie/Polish cross 2 3 week old Salmon Faverolles chickies I...

We boil or steam ours whole for 30 or 40 minutes and then melt butter in a bowl and salt it and dip the leaves into the butter I love it!

I have bird dogs, a lab and a German Shorthair. They will never be in the open with my chickens. Why? Because chickens are birds and bird dogs hunt and retrieve birds. Their nose knows the difference between a duck, a pheasant and a chicken, but their eyes see a bird. Can't and won't try train...

I opened the nest box and got a really scary surprise! This snake had just eaten the egg... Now I'm going to be afraid every time I check for eggs!

I don't know about Marek's in the New England area because I'm in Georgia but I make sure all of my birds are vaccinated now.. I had to learn the hard way to get them vaccinated because I had heard that it's unnecessary for a small flock to be vaccinated for Marek's so I didn't and then they all...

I would guess pullet

I think that they'll grow back a little bit but not fully. It depends how much is taken off. Debeaking is usually done to commercial laying hens to keep them from cannibalism because they are in such small cages with each other.

my neighbors love my chickens too! they always throw scratch into their yard to lure the girls over so they can look at them haha

They're so pretty! I wish y'all were closer!!

Mine came today too! They're all cute and active already haha.. yeah I like MPC a lot but they have messed up with sexing in my past orders which can be annoying

Mine were shipped from MPC on June 1st too! All I got in this order and in previous orders were emails a few days to a week before they shipped saying the week that they would be shipped. I don't warn the post office but they call me as soon as the chicks come in and either deliver them to me...

good luck! I managed to keep chickens in my life by doing the poultry science major at my college, but I miss my girls at home so much!

cute!!!!

I've ordered from them a few times and I like that they can send only 3 chicks and have a very big variety of breeds and sex bantams, but the sexing on my silver spangled hamburg was wrong in my last order and I'm starting to think that the cuckoo marans pullet that I ordered is a boy... and in...
