“The chicks arrived well. All seemed fine but within a week, my little bantam was dead. She died at the vet office and the vet said she must have been sick when she arrived. My other 2 blue easter eggers luckily didn't catch what she had and are thriving.”
There are many things that can cause sudden death to chicks. Some birds die from failure to thrive from an internal issue, even under good husbandry and health conditions. That is why we have our 48 hour live arrival guarantee! It covers any chick that was lost during transit, and even covers those chicks that were promptly picked up at the post office and properly cared for.
My Pet Chicken appreciates YOU, Angel, for this great review of our babies! We are so very happy to hear they are bringing you joy and we hope to help you in the future with any of your flock's needs!
“Alice is the most beautiful little chick, with long white fluff and a simply adorable face. She has the makings of a lap chicken, being very happy to fall asleep on anyone's lap. She arrived a day earlier than expected, and though she seemed a little fatigued at first, she soon perked up and is thriving.”
“The service was great as usual but I lost 2 of the 4 babies . I understand shipping is a gamble for such tiny, fragile creatures. I called & reported it & My Pet Chicken representative was very kind & said she will note it & send replacements. I’m not sure of the timeline. The remaining 2 are doing well & are so cute.”
