Wow so many reply’s! I don’t think I can reply to all of them! Thank you for all the comments! I love hearing about others experiences with their own flocks. :)

As long as they are happy with me being around then we’re good haha. I love my hens that are cuddly and eager to have a “conversation” but I equally love those that would rather have a distant relationship 😂 egg production is more of what I would like to compare. Edit... Wow! I read that as...

I love my Easter Eggers! They have “puffy cheeks” as I love it to call it:love all my Easter Eggers lay a green egg. I was curious if the Ameraucanas lay more eggs per year compared to the cream legbars or if it’s pretty much the same?

Exactly what the title says haha. Looking to see if anyone has had experience with both of these. Wanting to add a blue egg layer to my flock but want to get the most eggs per year that I can as well. Thanks in advance :) I also have the same question about white vs black copper Marans that I...

I payed with pay pal so that’s what they refunded it back to. This was the replacement order from the first batch of 50 that ended disastrously thanks to slow shipping. I was not going to ship anymore birds anyway even if they offered. They only offered the refund because it was a replacement to...

Hello, I have the opportunity to maybe get some white or black copper maran hatching eggs. I was wondering if the black are better layers than the white? I’ve never had Marans and would love to add them to my flock for their egg color. I would prefer the white because I have lots of black...

Nothing seemed off with the bodies that I’ve noticed. I’ve raised chicks multiple times and have hatched my own and I’ve never had loss like this before. I think it had to have been the stress of shipping, and it just caught up with some of them. :confused:

Ended up losing 13 chicks. Hopefully won’t lose anymore. Hoover’s customer service has been great through this whole process. They did refund me for the ones that didn’t make it. Just figured I’d update everyone in case anyway was wondering how this ended.

Yes, haven’t seen any yet. I have “plain” water and a waterer with molasses, ACV, and garlic in the other so they access to both all the time. Brooder is a large stock tank.

Ok, I didn’t realize that thanks! I’ve always put chicks on pine shavings and haven’t ever had a problem before. Also I think they only sent 2 extra, and I’m up to 12 dead now. Hoover’s policy is loss has to be reported in 48hrs. Already sent them a message yesterday when they started dying in...

Thank you, a couple more are not looking good now. I’ve never order chicks before. I’ve always just acquired them from Craigslist but we decided to go with a hatchery since there were certain breeds I wanted to get. Also we wanted to make sure we were getting females since we were making the...

And things are starting to not look so great :( .... 5 were DOA and everyone else was thriving. I’ve been watching them closely today and everyone was eating, drinking, running around, napping etc. normal behavior and now all of a sudden 4-5 are clearly dying. They have plenty of food, water...

They are HERE!!!:wee They arrived early this morning and we picked them up. A few were DOA but all seem to be doing great! So excited! Yes the heat lamps are very low I know, going to bring them up some. They were very cold when they arrived so was trying to help them warm up quicker. They were...

Thanks, yes I will. And just want to say Hoover’s Hatchery has been wonderful! Customer service was great and no problem there. The USPS has been the problem :idunno

My replacement chick order from Hoover’s shipped late last night, but my delivery date is not until Monday 😭 looks like I’ll be getting a repeat of last time. I hate that I’ve put another box of chicks through this. Last time they shipped on a Tuesday night and my delivery date was Saturday and...

Sorry yes today is Saturday. I just got them today, Saturday afternoon Sorry brain is a little scrambled!

Yes I emailed them and left a message. Yes they shipped on Tuesday and didn’t make it to me until this afternoon/Friday. Way too long for the poor little things.😔

Does anyone know if there is a way to reach Hoover Hatchery after hours. I left them a message and sent them an email. We received our 50 chicks we ordered today. All but 2 were dead.😢 they looked over packed and trampled and it took too long for them to get here unfortunately. This was my first...

Thanks! I followed the link and posted over there too.
