I ordered 15 chicks from Mt. Healthy!

Well, I've never ordered from a hatchery before, but I chose to go with Mt. Healthy because they're close (less stress on chicks

) and that's where the guys from our feedstore have been ordering from for YEARS. My kids want to show their chickens in the 4h this year, so I ordered from a hatchery for the NPIP cert. Has anyone else ever ordered from Mt. Healthy? I'm really excited. We won't get them until the very end of March, I've been Goat-Roped into taking the kids (and a few of their friends) to D.C. for spring break. I've ordered Light and Buff Brahmas. I hope everything turns out!

I just ordered , a week or two ago, from the same hatchery. My first time as well. I did a lot of reading and could not find any negitive issues regarding My Healthy. At least nothing of significance. We'll have to compare notes on our experinces. I requested a hatch date of 3/7. I'll be posting some info and pics around that time. I have 75 Barred Rock pullets coming...

Wow! You must really like Barred Rocks! I can't seem to settle on just on breed. It would make life so much easier for me if I could! Keep me posted on you experience! Good Luck!

Love the way you did you Location! Neat! South Central Montana! I'm going to see if my 14 yr old can figure it out!

All my chickens have come from Mt. Healthy- that's who my feed store orders from. I've never lost one; when you arrive at the feed store early on the morning they arrive they are always running around in the shipping boxes and ready to go into action with food and water. I've gotten several different varieties (BR, SS, GLW, SLW, RIR, BA, etc.) and I've been really pleased with all of them. I can't wait to place my order this spring!

I'm splitting the order between 3 other familys. I'm only keeping 25.

Oh.... I wish there were more people in our area to go in on orders like that!

I ordered Mallards from them. Matt John recommended them to me. Otherwise I probably would not have ordered from them. The Mallards were so much better that Ideals, that I can hardly even describe the difference. They are nice to work with. Do not forget to add your hatchery review when you get your chicks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=269351
