Does My Pet Chicken do the packing peanut thing?

[DaveD]

I've been seeing a bunch of posts about people getting packing peanuts from mail-orders, so now I am wondering if I should be prepared for this. I placed my order with MPC for 6 girls (2 EE, 2 barred rocks, 2 speckld sussex). Has anyone that has ordered through MPC received the "Packing Peanuts"?

I ordered 3 chicks and got 3 chicks. They were packed with a warmer and grow-gel. All 3 arrived healthy and are now just starting to lay eggs!

MPC does that. You can request not to get packing peanuts but put in more bedding.

I've gotten 2 orders from them- 8 chicks in each order. I paid for express due to the lower quantity. No packing peanuts- but one time they were short on the hatch and sent a silkie as a replacement. I was like "what the heck is this?!"

i don't know about small orders as I haven't placed mine yet, but my 25 rainbow special came with one packing peanut so ended up with 26.

When I ordered my 25 Barred Rocks last summer they sent an extra BR.

Hi Dave,

Ask MPC, they'll know better than anyone!
