Hi All!
Since my chicks won't be shipping until 4.27.22 I need something to occupy my time so I decided to document my Chick order journey. I have been keeping chickens for almost 8 years and am adding to a flock of 4 hens. We have shipped chicks before from Meyer Hatchery, but decided on Mount Healthy this go around for a more diverse breed selection (Meyer really needs to add in those bielefelders!) So I placed an order over the phone on 1.4.22 for 5 baby sexed females. They are a Barred Plymouth Rock, A Lavender Orpington, A Red Laced Blue Wyandotte, a Bielefelder and a Speckled Sussex.
I am super excited for another round of peepers this spring and thought I would keep you all updated along the way. We have 10 weeks to go, anyone want to share your positive stories about Mount Healthy? I went with them as our original flock was from there and they celebrated their 7th birthday last year and will be 8 this year! So healthy they are! I also wanted a hatchery that was close (ish) to us since we live on Long Island and also small orders and no roosters are important to us since we are in the suburbs and have flock restrictions (no roosters)
Super eggcited!!
