They actually ship from a hatchery in Ohio, might be Meyer, I don't remember. I live in central MA, they shipped on Monday May 18 and arrived at my post office at 2:30 Tuesday. Very good service! They included the growgel and a heat pad. I'm ecstatic! They're all a week old and still going strong and they were BANTAMS!!!

I ordered 7 of course one was weak and died same as a few of you guys
they are very small not like getting chicks from mcmurray or ideal they just look different I liked how they shipped as few as 3 but I would not order from them again

I ordered from them in the fall. It was a bantam variety that was supposed to have at least five different breeds if you ordered five or more birds. Delivery was as promised. One chick died within a week but the other four were great. We didn't receive five different breeds but I was happy with the birds we did receive

Ciao,
My first experience with mypetchicken.com was two years ago. I ordered 8 day old chicks in September 2013 and a week later I ordered 4 day old chicks. I was very happy with my dealings with mypetchicken.com.
Subsequently, I ordered six fertile hatching eggs to place under my broody hen; none of those eggs hatched. I contacted mypetchicken.com and they apologized and issued me a $10.00 credit towards a future order.
Last month I ordered three Bielefelder hatching eggs(not cheap) and three Buff Orpington hatching eggs from my pet chicken.com and redeemed my $10.00 credit. Mypetchicken.com teamed up with a new supplier and my eggs were shipped. Unfortunately, the shipping box was not marked "hold for pick up" and the eggs were placed on the postal carriers truck for delivery. I went to the post office after I had looked up the tracking information and was informed that the box was on the truck for delivery (my house is last on my postal carriers route). I ended up driving the route and found my postal carrier and she gave me the hatching eggs.
I advised mypetchicken.com of the above and informed them that part of the box was damaged but it looked like all the eggs were intact. The eggs were placed in a Brinsea mini advance with eggs turner. I followed all the instructions to a T and after three weeks, two eggs hatched.
I have read many threads online and have found that this is an unacceptable hatching rate. I contacted mypetchicken.com and they apologized and felt that the hatching rate was acceptable and I should look at the troubleshooting guidelines. I canceled the eggs after one and two weeks. Three looked viable and three did not.
I have two Bielefelder chicks and four unhatched eggs.
I have written once again to mypetchicken.com and I am waiting for a response.
