Thank you. Hatchery said too soon to tell. Which is what they said about the Bielefelder roo, who was auto sexing. Regardless, it is pretty obvious.

I did! I will contact them.

I'm pretty certain already but let me ask everyone. Black Austrolorp and Lavender Orpington 5 weeks old on Monday. I'm a little sad because I like Mt. Healthy Hatchery but my first chick shipment included a Bielefelder rooster...and they are auto sexing. I knew as soon as I opened the box. I...

I appreciate your response! We can bounce ideas off each other. The state veterinarian, usda veterinarian and avian veterinarian all said the same thing. If I did cull, the likelihood is a new flock would eventually become exposed also. The dvm who did the necropsy didn't even bring it up until...

We have a young flock of hens and pullets. I did my research and purchased through NPIP breeders and have kept a closed flock with extreme biosecurity. We lost a sweet girl last year to a genetic heart defect. The necropsy revealed MS, though not the cause of death. Of course, I was so upset. I...

I like Mt. Healthy! I also ordered from them again. Lavender Orpingtons and Columbian Rock Cross. I've never had either breed but have heard great things. I prefer friendly girls.

Hello! I am considering adding Columbian Rock Cross to my flock. I have a small backyard flock of docile birds, I spend a lot of time with them and want breeds that are also docile and human friendly. I am in a neighborhood so I also need hens that don't scream all day (I'm looking at you...

Where do you order Barnevelders through? Is your whole flock vaccinated?

Wouldn't vaccinate?

Is your girl vaccinated?

Barnevelders. I really want a Barnevelder but I have ready they are very susceptible to Mareks so it is recommended to vaccinate them. The rest of my flock is not vaccinated and I have been advised by breeders and veterinarians to not mix vaccinated with unvaccinated chicks. Those of you with...

🙏 that's what I needed to hear!

Thank you!

Thank you! She came from Mt. Healthy Hatchery. She's got a super funny personality. Both of my Eggers from them are fun birds.

15 weeks old, previously certain pullet but now not sure...

I have a Bielefelder and two Eggers from them. All very calm, sweet birds. The Bielefelder is very laid back. The Eggers are hilarious. Would you share pics of your Bielefelder and Eggers? This is Marnie, Duckie and Beulah 🥰

Hello! I am ordering some chicks from Mt. Healthy Hatchery. I have used them once before and had a great experience. I would love to see pictures of anyone's Barnevelders and Black Austrolorp from Mt. Healthy. I also enjoy friendly chickens so please also let me know what their personalities...

Hello! I am waiting on a confirmation of Mareks. My sweet girl started showing general signs of not feeling well last week. After x-rays and labwork it looks like Mareks. We will be euthanizing and sending out to the lab. Devastated is putting it mildly. My chickens have been therapy for me for...

I ferment or wet their Scratch and Peck so the powder vitamin sticks to the feed. They also do not scratch it out when it is wet. But they get Hearty Hen as well. I do not give treats often, I just wanted to list what they get. They get greens because they do not free range due to aerial...

Thank you for your response. I do not think it is dietary. I am feeding Scratch and Peck, I ferment it a few times a week. They also have free access to Nutrena Hearty Hen pellets. They get a probiotic, kelp granules, flax, marigold flowers, oregano, parsley and garlic powder on their food a...
