“My eight St. Patrick's Day chicks are wonderful. Sweet and all different personalities! I have a few that are HUGE snugglers. I can't wait to see how they look as they grow up!”
That sounds like such a fun and lovable bunch! We’re so glad your St. Patrick’s Day chicks are settling in well and already showing off their sweet personalities—especially the snugglers! It’s always exciting to watch them grow and see how their colors and traits develop. Keep us posted on their progress, and thank you for choosing MPC for your flock!
Thanks for the review! It’s always exciting to watch any chick grow but the Ameribellas are bred to be friendly, beautiful and excellent layers, too! Thank you for choosing My Pet Chicken and let us know if we can provide any support as they grow.
“This bird is a winner! Cricket arrived as an active, curious chick at the beginning of April, and nothing has ever slowed her down. She began laying in the Texas summer heat, a pretty, pinkish egg very nearly every day. She’s continued doing so right through the cold winter season. Her eggs are beautifully oval in shape, and they’re heavy.
This hen is quite the liberated lady. She’s made her choice of the five roosters (she likes Shadow, the huge yet gentlemanly Blue Copper Marans) and chases away any other that tries to get near. And she’s confident enough to pull that off.
What a gal!!!”
Wow—Cricket sounds like an absolute superstar! From her unstoppable energy as a chick to her impressive laying consistency through the Texas heat and winter cold, she’s truly one of a kind. We love hearing about her independent spirit and how she’s chosen her favorite rooster—Shadow must be quite the gentleman!
Thank you for sharing her story with us. We’re so happy she’s thriving in your flock, and we appreciate you being a part of the My Pet Chicken family!
“These are 2 of my favorite hens. They started laying right at 23 weeks and that was a December start. They were a sub for a different breed I wanted that was out so I was suspicious, but they are great foragers, smarter than my barred rocks, and have come to be handled pretty well- though I’m not a cuddler- I just want to check their feet. One of them has shown dislike of me taking eggs, but just loudly protests.”
We’re so happy to hear that these hens have become two of your favorites! Starting to lay right at 23 weeks—especially in December—is impressive, and it’s wonderful that they’ve proven to be great foragers and smart additions to your flock. We completely understand the initial hesitation with a substitution, but it’s fantastic that they’ve exceeded your expectations!
It sounds like they have plenty of personality too—vocalizing their opinions about egg collecting just adds to their charm! Thank you for giving them a chance and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your support!
