Question about Packing Peanuts

[HEChicken]

Does MPC add packing peanuts to orders?

My baby chicks came in a straw like nest. But I'm not sure how they pack their hatching eggs.

 

[HEChicken]

Sorry, I meant, do they add extra chicks, often called "packing peanuts" and usually roos!

 

[gotpoodle]

They told me they don't. Since they cater to small backyard chicken owners, they don't want to send extra that would put people over their limit.

 

[Xero]

OH! Sorry. I didn't get any extras and they were all in perfect shape when they arrived.

I ordered 7 chicks from them and there weren't any packing peanuts in with them just my 7. Now they are 4 weeks old and happy and healthy.

Here are mine when I opened the box:

Put in the brooder:

Great - thanks! I placed an order for four and then found a local person who sold me some BO's and Rock Xs. I thought I would cancel the MPC order but then found out they charge a $10 order cancellation fee (even though I would be canceling before the eggs have even been put in the incubator!). I'm a cheapskate and don't like paying for goods/services I don't receive so I guess I'll just go ahead and get the order, but didn't want to end up with packing peanuts, especially if they are roos!
