We’re truly sorry to hear about the loss of your chick. We understand how upsetting it is to lose a breed you were excited to raise, and we know how much you'd hoped to add her to your flock. While we know it can’t truly replace the loss, we’re glad we can issue a refund for the chick that passed. If you ever have any questions about your new flock members, My Pet Chicken will be glad to answer them for you.
“She’s a beauty! Very sweet temperament and I love how her feathers are developing. I can’t wait to see how she looks when fully developed next to my French black coppers and blue coppers!”
“Poised to be a pretty chicken. She is a blend of yellows, oranges, tans. Juvenile now. She is active and friendly-a bit more stand offish than the others. I purchased 8 chicks. They arrived healthy (a day later than promised by the post office - but the post office very kindly called me and let me pick them up at 6:30 AM the following day when they arrived). All chicks appeared healthy. When I put them into their brooder box, they slowly became active, eating and drinking - except two that just stood still. I tried dipping their beaks in water, but no interest. After 30 minutes, they were still not moving around so I made sugar water and put some into a tiny spoon and kept lifting that to their beaks - after 3-4 dips they each took a swallow - all good from then on! After a few sips they started to walk around and within minutes were as lively as the rest! Healthy ever since! It seems that little sugar after a long ride in a box works wonders!”
“My Golden Cuckoo Maran is sweet and friendly, but definitely not cuddly like some of my other chickens. She laid her first egg at 23 weeks old and is now laying a beautiful dark round egg about 2-3 times a week”
