“Sadly the one chick that we ordered was weak and passed away within 48 hours. Customer Service was great to work with and shipping chicks is hard on them.”
We're so sorry to hear that you lost the Blue/Black/Splash Cochin female from your recent order. Our condolences, we hoped she would pull through. We know you did everything you could to care for your brood, and that while her time here was too short, she was loved. Sometimes despite our best efforts Mother Nature steps in and there is simply nothing we can do. Please accept our sympathies for your loss and our well-wishes for the continued health of your remaining chicks.
“Not as friendly as excepted. Very shy. Two out of 3 have died. One within 24 hours and the other last week. I am praying my third one lives. She is so beautiful I am sure as she gets older she will come out of her shell with me.”
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are sorry to hear you lost another Blue Cochin recently. We do hope your other one is doing well. You could try hand-feeding her treats such as live or freeze-dried meal worms to get her to warm up to you. Also, feel free to contact us for any Flock Care questions or tips. We are here to help!
“second favorite breed! "Lorrie" is a splash color with great feathering. however, she's at the very bottom of the pecking order. otherwise, sweet and healthy! cuddly too.”
“Well I ordered 8 chicks, 1 rooster and 7 hens. 1 was dead on arrival, 1 died a couple days later. From the 6 remaining I have 2 roosters and 4 hens. I was hoping the rooster wasn't one of the chicks that died so I can have some chicks next spring, made me laugh that I got 2 roosters, go figure. I am very happy with them all, they are very friendly and nice. They do climb on me, sit on my shoulders and arms. I am very happy with the cochin breed, it is my first time owning this breed of chicken. I did get a refund on the chick that was dead on arrival and customer service was really great to work with. The other chick died a day after their guarantee and I didn't bother with a refund on the extra rooster. I am very happy with the chickens and I would order from this company again.”
“I‚Äôll first start off by saying that I DO understand how the B/B/S percentages work.
While keeping this in mind I ordered 23! Yes you heard right, 23!!!
My hope was to get several Splash girls.
I received 17 black! 3 possible Splash, which includes at least 1 that is a rooster!
I’ve had enough Cochin to know a young rooster! But I’ll wait until he’s of age to submit pictures.
(Yes I payed to have them sexed female)
I understand sexing is not an exact Science, and I know y’all will make that right, but when the odds stacked against me with so many of them being black, it just adds to my frustration. The few that are left I assume will be a very light blue. Which I don’t mind
MPC has awesome customer service! I realize the hatchery is not even in the same state as the people you deal with on the phone. I know it’s not their fault a few birds passed. I know it’s not their fault that the birds are sexed wrong.
And I know they will make those things right! I just wish when the packing department put orders in boxes, that they would pay a bit more attention to the colors, when it comes to the B/B/S birds!
The birds that I have are in good health and they are beautiful!
(I rehomed all but 2 of the blacks)
I had my heart set on the flock of my dreams Lesson learned, never order B/B/S birds from someplace that you can‚Äôt pick them out yourself ‚Äç♀”
“Although it's probably too early (she's only been with us four days now), I'm pretty sure our little cochin is going to be my favorite chicken in our flock. She is the most beautiful chick I've ever laid eyes on. The most gorgeous blue grey color, a definite show stopper! But the reason I love her to pieces is her demeanor....she is calm, sweet, and the ultimate snuggle bug who loves nothing more than to sit with me and cuddle or take a nap. I try not to show too much favoritism but little Violet makes it hard! Highly highly recommend this breed for someone looking for people oriented pet chicken.”
