I have ordered from mypetchicken and my chicks where healthy. I ordered silkies and ordered females but I ended up with a few boys which was a bit disappointing. My straight run silkies from a different hatchery had the same number of boys. Most of my chickens are bantams but I also have 6 EE...

I have 4 EE I rescued from some pretty nasty conditions. They were missing feathers and crammed into a tiny cage and seeing them like that broke my heart so I took them home and put them in my extra coop for about 60 days away from the other chickens. They are thriving now on layer pellets...

I think the funniest part is when you find another in the chicken obsessed club. Around here not many people raise chickens although the numbers are growing. When you meet another chicken person it's like you met a long lost friend because you can chat for hours talking chickens. Some people...

Pets...all 30 of them. I keep hearing from my teenager how it is wrong to eat store-bought chicken and have pet chickens but she is in her vegetarian phase at the moment. They are pets but they do not come in the house. I have enough to deal with the dogs and the cats. I don't want to deal...

Last year I ordered 6 silkies hens from MPC. I also ordered 6 straight run silkies from McMurray. Out of the 6 from MPC, 2 were roos and out of the 6 from McMurray 2 were roos. I know silkies are hard to sex and I wanted different colors. With that said, I would order from MPC again.

I had some fears about Craigslist too. What I did was meet the person at a commuter parking lot and I brought my sister with me. The woman turned out to be very nice.

I believe it can depend on the breed and it can also depend on the training. I can leave my australian shepard and my border collie outside with the chickens all day and not worry. I would not leave some breeds of dogs with chickens unless they had extensive training. Some dogs have a very...

It seems I have way too many roos and would love for them to find some nice homes. This is Bill and he has a twin brother Bob. They are black frizzles. This is Lisa. I should change his name to Lester. I believe he is a sultan. Here are a few other I have available. Sorry for the blue...

Hi everyone What breeds lay the most unusual colored eggs? I remember seeing some very dark, chocolate colored eggs. I know EE lay blue/green eggs. Any other unusual eggs colors? Thanks for your help

I'm trying to finish the run so the chickies can get outside but everytime I have a few hours after work it is raining. I am so sick of the rain!

I ordered from McMurray and all 27 and my mystery chick arrived healthy and, I believe, true to order in early May. I just received 6 silkie chicks from Mypetchicken yesterday and they seem to be healthy and are so darn cute. I believe it is not only hatchery but weather and the postal service...

We found one of our chicks got her leg caught in a chair. My daughter and I walked into the brooder house to find her hanging upside down by one leg. Ofcourse, out of 30 chicks, it happened to be my daughters favorite. I thought she broke her leg but didnt see any noticable breaks. The poor...

I mixed the grow gel with water. I think the directions were a cup. I put it on the ground on a paper plate and they just loved it.

My new babies go running into the corner when they see me coming into the brooder house. Why I don't know. I only come in to feed, clean and water them and say hello. I just remember when my husband brought home some wild pullets from the feed store that hated me too at first. After a while...

My question too. How do you know at this age?

I ordered 27 chicks including Frizzles, silkies, a variety of Cochins and 2 Araucanas. They arrived last monday and I was lucky because the post office called me at 6 am on monday and I was able to go pick them up. They all arrived healthy and even the little guy/gal I wasent too sure of is...

Wow. That is terrible. Where did you get them so I can avoid ordering from there?
