MyPetChicken.com, should we get chicks from them?

I may be wrong, but I think Meyer hatchery supplies my pet chicken. Check into what they offer. I have ordered from them in the past and been very pleased with their service and health of the chicks. If it matters they are located in northern Ohio. Again, I could be wrong.

 

I ordered five chicks from MPC a couple months ago and received them three weeks ago. I was very pleased by all of my interactions with them, as well as with the quality of the chicks themselves. I'm in Seattle and we were struck by a snowstorm the week my babies shipped so unfortunately they were on the road in very cold conditions for three days. One of them died as a result. MPC was more than kind and promptly reimbursed me, even though I didn't ask for that.

I would strongly recommend MPC.

 

I ordered my chicks from mypetchicken, they arrived 5 weeks ago. We ordered 12 chicks in Jan and they were hatched mon feb 27th and i received the call from the post office wed feb 29th at 630am. I picked them up quickly so I could get them home to the warm heat lamp. They all arrived alive healthy and chirping and are turning out to be fantastic little chickens. I would order from them again.

When they ship the chicks to you they will put a heat pack and a gel food source for them to eat in the box with them.

 

I ordered my 16 from MPC. Costumer service was excellent. I called them to make some changes and it all went off without a hitch. I received 16 very FAT healthy Orpingtons and Australorps. I live in central Texas and they came in on the third day, so they had 2 days of travel. MPC acts as a broker using many different hatcheries as well as their own. This is why you see such a large variety of birds. I didn't hear this from MPC itself, just heard it through the grapevine. But my experience was quite pleasant and I would recommend them highly. Now the cost of all their chicken "Accessories" are through the roof and I would recommend shopping around before ordering any of that stuff.

 

We just got 2 EEs and 2 Welsumers from them.
I can't speak to larger orders, but they were wonderful with our smaller one.

Here they are upon arrival (still in their box):


I had to call to change my shipping number (for PO notification). Their response was prompt and, well, they got it done - the PO had the right number this morning

 

You know, I thought the same way-- I was afraid to order from hatcheries that are farther away from me. So I ordered from the closest one, and it took three days instead of one.
When a hatchery is far from you, and you order express shipping, the chicks get put right on a plane that day and flown to your nearest hub. Sometimes shipping this way can be faster instead of slower! If you are concerned, I bet you could write to them and they could tell you average transit time to your location. Best wishes!!
