“Only issue I had was with the post office, they lost my ducklings for a day. Everyone arrived happy and healthy. They are friendlier than the birds I'd gotten from tractor supply. Very happy and will definitely order again”

We were so relieved when your little ones were reported as safe and sound! Our little ones are bred from a wonderful flock who are floor raised and have a ton of interaction with their flock keepers so it is not surprising that their offspring may be a bit calmer than perhaps from other locations. We are happy to hear that your flock is doing well and hope to help you with any of your questions or flock care needs in the future. We are always happy to help!

“I have had a several good experiences with MPC through the last few years. After looking closer at my receipt of my lastest order of 7 chicks and the cardboard brooder panels, I realized I was charged $110.62 for shipping. $60 for the chicks, and $50.62 for the carboard panels (panels cost $19.95). When I contacted them through email about the error, they replied the shipping cost was correct. I would have not purchased the cardboard had I cought the shipping cost.”

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry for any frustration the shipping charge has caused. We genuinely care about our customers and work hard to keep costs manageable. However, bulky items like brooder panels incur higher costs, and significant shipping rate increases this year have affected total shipping costs. Unfortunately, as a small family based business, we’re unable to absorb those increases. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and support you in any way we can!

“I’ve had chickens and chicks for many years but this is the first time I’ve ever purchased any online. The buying process was pretty straight forward, and I made sure to select a ship date that I would be available for the upcoming weeks to take care of our new chicks. I purchased a total of 25 chicks. I received an email stating that my chicks were shipped on a Tuesday. The email also stated that I should receive my chicks between Tuesday and Thursday, and if I have not received them by Thursday at 5pm to let them know. Thursday evening came, I made a trip to my local post office to see if they have arrived, and they have not. I was told they would not be there until Friday. Mind you, it is October, they were shipped out of Ohio to Kentucky, the weather is getting down into the 30’s at night. Friday morning I received a call from the post office saying they arrived. I picked up my chicks. Out of 25 chicks, 2 of them had sadly passed, 8 of them were extremely lethargic. I get them home, immediately give them food, water, and heat. I emailed MyPetChicken and told them what had happened. They sent me a care plan for the lethargic chicks. I followed the care plan but sadly it did not help. By Sunday, I had lost a total of 10 chicks. MyPetChicken put the blame on the post office, but these chicks were in a box with nothing to keep them warm but themselves. Some chicks appear to be older than the others (different breeds) but already had feathers and much bigger than some of the others. Out of the 15 chicks that made it, several have pasty butt, which is a condition I’ve never experienced with ANY of the hundreds of chicks I’ve had in the past. They did give me a refund for 9 of the 10 chicks I lost, they didn’t give me a refund for the 10th chick because they sent 26 instead of 25 so they were assuming the free one they give me was one of the 10 which passed away, which is a fair assumption, but considering I lost almost half my flock you would think they’d be a little more considerate. Anyway, rather it be the post offices fault or MyPetChickens fault, I will never buy online again given this experience, and the loss of life and conditions these chicks were put through. I’m honestly surprised this is even allowed if this is their normal practice.”

I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience. Losing any chicks is heartbreaking, especially after all the effort and planning you put into providing them with the best possible start. It sounds like you did everything right, from selecting a careful delivery time to following up with extra care for the lethargic chicks. At MyPetChicken, we do everything we can to ensure chicks are sent safely. While we put a lot of thought and detail into this careful planning, unfortunately, factors beyond our control can sometimes occur during shipping. An unexpected delay, like the one your order experienced, can be catastrophic, and we’re truly sorry for the impact this had on your chicks. Thank you for sharing such a detailed account of your experience. Your feedback is invaluable and may help others understand the potential challenges. Your care and attention to these little lives truly shines through, and it’s completely understandable why this experience has made you question future online purchases. Please know that delays and losses like you experienced are exceptions rather than the norm; the majority of our chicks arrive on time and safely. I sincerely hope the rest of your chicks continue to thrive in your care. If there’s anything more I can assist you with or if you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

“Not sure you want this but 4 out of 6 chicks arrived dead, two deliveries of three chicks each. The heating pad in both deliveries was cold, like the chicks. USPS is a problem because they are slow. Maybe arrange special handling for live deliveries.”

“We received the chicks at around 3:30 pm Oct 17th (Thursday). Six of them showed up very weak, could barely stand, we fed them sugar water to resuscitate them, but two still did not make it last night. The good news is all the others looked quite healthy from what we observed the following morning. (now it's one week old, everyone looks happy and energetic.) The package looks very nice, the chickens should be protected quite well. it's not MyPetChicken's fault. we think the main cause is they were on the trip for too long -- we started tracking the package Tuesday afternoon and from the tracking info they were in the box for two and half days. We write this to you hoping in the future, you can work with the delivery company to shorten this duration within two days. Thanks a lot for the ebook here-Caring for Baby chickens, and thanks for the quick response and suggestions from Chicks Care Specialist Janie, it's really help!”

“The short of why I ordered from My Pet Chicken and will order from them again: -Ship fewer chicks -Sex even Bantam chicks -Excellent costumer service This was the first time I ordered from My Pet Chicken. I was satisfied with the previous hatchery that I have ordered from but the breeds I wanted were sold out and would have to order 10 chicks and I wanted no more than 5. I ordered one female Silked White Easter Egger, one male and one female Black Australorp, one female Buff Orpington, and one female Cuckoo Marans, all day old chicks. They shipped out on Monday and I received a call early Wednesday morning to come pick them up from the Post Office. The two Australorps chicks seemed smaller and did not want to eat much. One of them finally figured it out and is now thriving. The other chick only lived four days. I hand fed her/him two and a half of those days but the chick was just too weak, sometimes that happens. As for the rest of the chicks they are playful and curious and love to eat!! The Silked White Easter Egger is more timid than I had hoped but still very sweet.”

We cannot express how happy we are that we have met, and perhaps exceeded, your expectations! We offer smaller minimums as we understand that many locations may have restrictions on the number of birds for flock keeping and wanted to do what we could to help those who do not need - nor want - a very large flock. As flock keepers ourselves, we truly can understand many of the wonderful things about the adventure as well as some of the headaches and will do all we can to make things easier for others. Thank you for your kind words for our company and employees, it means so very much to us!
