“These are some of the friendliest chickens! They love attention and love being held! They are very curious and are the first ones at the door of the run. They are great with my grandkids. They will peck your feet if you ignore them! We call them the ginger triplets, and to think I almost removed them from my order at the last minute! They are only 10 weeks old, so I can’t comment on eggs, but my main concern was getting friendly chickens that would be good with the kids. They will even snuggle tucked up against your neck.”
“They all arrived healthy n ready fore their light n food. They r now six weeks. Not a one wast lost. My pet chicken is a wonderful place. And an all star company. I highly recommend them to all my fellow farmers.”
“I don’t know much about baby chicks or chickens in general. However, my chick arrived extra cute and seem very healthy. I don’t know how to tell if the vaccine is helping or not, but the chick looks happy and healthy.”

“I have had a backyard flock for a few years now and am learning more and more as I go. I really wanted to buy chicks from local breeders and hatcheries, but it's difficult to find the more unusual breeds and also difficult to find someone who will sex baby chicks. So due to this and some miscommunication with locals, and despite my reluctance to deal with shipping live animals, I broke down and reluctantly ordered chicks online through MPC.
I ordered 1 EE Frizzle, 1 Austra White, 1 Blue Copper Marans, 1 Red Star, and 1 Super Blue to add to my small backyard flock. I was anxious that they would arrive dead or unhealthy. The shipment tracking did a good job of updating me when they'd been packed and shipped, and I believe the chicks were inside of their package for less than 36 hours total, despite being shipped across multiple states. My local post office knew in advance that they were coming, and called me the minute they arrived.
They arrived happy and healthy. I was delighted with their condition and the quality of the container and way that they were safely shipped. They are now a month old and are thriving. It's still a bit too early to tell, but they all give early evidence of being sexed correctly as female. I will not officially add them to the existing flock for another couple of months, but there have already been moments when they've been allowed to free-range side-by-side with the adults and there's already signs of acceptance from the adult chickens.
So I'm now a believer! As much as I enjoy supporting locals, this is just too good of an alternative choice in terms of being able to find interesting breeds, being able to order them as female only, and in terms of the quality and health of the birds that arrived. The next time I need to replace chickens to my flock, I will be ordering from MPC.
5 stars; very happy!”
“Second time ordering chicks from My Pet Chicken, just like my first order they arrived the day after hatching in perfect condition and health. Couldn't be happier would and do highly recommend.”
