Hi, does anyone know of a chicken friendly veterinarian in southern Michigan?

 

[meltel]

Congrats!!! Depending on how many you want and what kind, I use My Pet Chicken and Meyer Hatchery-both get chickens from Meyer but MPC handles small orders as a drop ship company and you can pick your chicks sexed. They have been awesome! Congrats and good luck. MPC also has a chick selector that will help you pick a chicken that will suit your purpose like cold weather hearty, good egg layer etc. I used Cackle Hatchery before and even though they sent me a nice selection of birds, over half died within the first 2 weeks! And the customer service was terrible! I spent $200+ on a vet bill and medications to get the rest healthy. Just my personal experience. Good luck.

Hello I am from Michigan, of course, south of Grand Rapids and I was hoping anyone could give me chicken suggestions. I joined last year but haven't really done anything on here until now. I'm FINALLY GETTING CHICKENS!!! Soooo any suggestions on chickens that would survive in southern Michigan? Thx:cd

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME TO BYC!!! Do you have chickens? Or do you not have them yet? Anyway,

Are you rehoming or selling your birds? If selling them what are you charging?

All the mixes $5, the purebreds $10 each. For the Spitzes, $25/pr. All the pures are from quality lines but I don't know the breeds well enough to judge them against SOP. None are hatchery stock, all came from BYC breeders.

She is not really a nut but a real human being.

if you can make a stop in Houghton lake on your way to Lansing I will take one

That would be easy to do. My next trip will be Friday the 26th, passing through in the afternoon. I have a really lovely big boy that I would keep except I have a rooster unrelated to my hens that I'll be keeping.

I'll PM you my number
