Mystery Chick from Our Rare Breed Assortment Female Reviews

4.6 Rating 54 Reviews
You really get the BANG for your buck on these chickens! We know for a fact we got an Exchequer Leghorn which is $8 regularly, and we think we got a Lavender Orpington which is like $23 regularly.We only spent like $10 on the whole thing, and they are all really sweet so I highly recommend them.

I order 5 “Chicken Math” and 5 “Rare Breed” assortment chicks and couldn’t be happier. I received 9 different chicken breeds. They included 1 White Leghorn, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Sliver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Partridge Cochin, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Ancona, 2 Light Brahma and 2 others that I’m not sure about yet (possible Light Brown Leghorn & Buff Orpington). All the chicks arrive healthy and are thriving. It’s been lots of fun watching the chicks develop and trying to figure out their breed.

We ordered 15 chicks October 2019, they all arrived alive and seemingly well! We did lose two the first few days, most likely due to transport, but the other 13 are thriving! You can tell mypetchicken cares because they followed up to see how my chicks were when I emailed them telling them the two were sick. Of the 13, 5 were from the rare breed assortment, and none of them are the same breed! We got an olive egger, partridge rock, cream legbar, silver laced wyandotte, and a buff brahma! The silver laced was one of the sick ones but the other four are thriving, with such personalities! The cream legbar jumps out of her coop and sits on my shoulder every day! I absolutely love them and will order again!

My chicks arrived on time and none were sick or died. The assortment of chicks I received were indeed mixed and there is enough to start a flock of separate breeds. I ordered 50 and think this is a great company to order from.

We ordered 12 assorted chicks and they were delivered the last week of February. All are extremely friendly none look the same. Still a surprise for what they are. I can't figure it out. But they sure have been fun. Wish I could attach a picture. Thank you!

I understand they are just filling orders, trying to get rid of the surplus they have. I was just a little disappointed with what was sent (2 EEs and 1 Andalusian), I wouldn't consider EEs rare (and neither would Mypetchicken according to their EE description under "chicken breeds")... but they all seem healthy and I saved .26 cents on each. What's more important is that the other 5 (SBELs) that I really wanted made it safely so that's really all that matters. I just needed to met the 8 chick minimum. Would have been nice to receive actual "rare" breeds but all is well. They all came in fine and are doing well.

I ordered 12 of the mystery pack plus 3 Easter Eggers (wanted add some more color to our eggs bc we love our current Easter Egger that we got a couple years ago from my pet chicken). The chicks arrived OK but unfortunately, within 48 hours, 3 died. There were 3 chicks that looked identical (and 2 were very small and somewhat weak) so I originally assumed those were my Easter Eggers—2 of those died. Now, I’m not so sure if those were the Easter Eggers. The lone one seems to be doing well but is still smaller than all the rest. A 3rd one that died was a mystery black one, but I believe it had a crop issue as it was foaming at the mouth. The rest of the chicks are all doing great and all look very different at 10 days old. We are so excited to see what they turn out to be. Every time I think I’ve identified one, I change my mind. I still have some suspicions (Brahma or Cochins, blue Andalusian, multiple clean footed super fluffy chicks with heavy beards, Marans) but when they mature, I’ll try to post the list.
