my pet chicken

Hello everyone, I'm John. I'm new to this site, and my family is going to start raising their first chickens and ducks in just a few weeks from now. We are getting them as day-olds from Metzer Farms and My Pet Chicken. For the chickens, we've decided on getting some bantams and standard size...

I had a bad experience with Meyer and decided to go with MPC when ordering chicks this time around. But, I’m just now figuring out that the hatcheries are/were affiliated. The threads I saw are years old, so I’m here to ask if it’s possible that they’re not affiliated anymore? Meyer forgot to...

Our 3 Lavender Orpingtons made it home safe and sound! I ordered from My Pet Chicken, and loved the experience! They were toasty warm with their heat pad and everyone looks healthy! No pasty butt so far. They seem healthier than our older feed store chicks. They looked so cute in their...

She's still only a week or so old. But her beak isn't lining up properly. No idea how much worse it'll get. Is there a way to correct it this early or do we just have to accommodate for her needs and hope she doesn't starve to death like last time.

Got in a few more assorted Pullets! (Chicken math! Ha!) At 11 days old meet..... 2 rare breeds - (Lily & Daisy) 2 bantams - (Peanut & Messy) Not new to chickens. New to rare breeds & bantams. . So excited!!

Hello. I am interested in getting Favaucanas, which are Easter Eggers made from a cross between a Faverolles and an Ameraucana. My Pet Chicken says this about their offerings: "Because our BBS Favaucanas are F1 (first generation), there is a 1/16 chance that your Favaucana will not lay a green...

I just wanted to post a picture of what my BCM eggs are looking like. I have 2 pullets from MPC that just started laying and so far this is what I have. (The 2 in the middle). I hope this helps someone in case they're wondering and anticipating chicks of their own. I do have BCM chicks from a...

Hey. I was wondering if you guys knew what breed of chickens these are. I bought them from the rare assortment at My Pet Chicken. They are all supposed to be female but only time will truly tell. They are also currently 7 weeks old.

Hey. I was wondering if any of y’all could help me identify what type or breed my chicks are. I bought them from my pet chicken. I bought silkies, Easter Eggers, and also some from the rare assortment. I was hoping y’all could tell me what I got from the assortment?

I recently ordered two Favaucanas from My Pet Chicken and I LOVE them! They're so pretty and unique, so different from the rest of y flock lol. I was wondering more info about them, since they're a designer breed. Anyone own any of these pretty birds?

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I am looking for someone in western/central Massachusetts or bordering states who would like to share a baby chick order from My Pet Chicken in spring 2018. I have a a small coop/run and am looking to only add 3 bantam chickens to my existing flock of three. But...

(When I posted I meant MPC not MYC!!!) I'm most likely going to order 3 polish chicks from MyPetChicken this spring, and I've heard of many potential bad things that could happen during shipment. Luckily Ohio (Where the hatchery is) is not far from Wisconsin so they won't take that long once...

We thought we could build a coop...we were wrong! I'm trying to find a coop that doesn't need to be rebuilt completely, we are going to start with 3 or 4 chickens so I'm considering this one: https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Coops/The-Clubhouse-Coop-w-Run-up-to-4-chickens-p1167.aspx...
