We are always happy to hear that the chicks have arrived safely at their new homes! We are glad to hear they are doing well and we wish you all the best in your chicken keeping journey!
“Now, I just received my girls, including this one, 5 days ago. This little one, now named Peanut was quite tiny and did arrive not in great shape. The other 5 were just fine. After dipping her beak in water and putting her under the brooding plate she was still quite lethargic. So (even though I've read you only have to do it once,) I helped her with the water again and left her next to the waterer. (She almost climbed in at that point) and drank heavily. By the next day....perfect. I also know this company has the best customer support. I'm grateful Peanut is a fighter. The only place I will buy my little ones from.”
Thank you for sharing your experience with your Lavender Dream Easter Egger chicken chick. We know it can be a bit concerning when one arrives a little smaller or slower to start, so it is wonderful to hear Peanut is now doing well. These little ones can be surprisingly resilient, and it sounds like she has settled in nicely with the rest of your girls. We are so glad everything is on track now. Your kind words about our support truly mean a lot to us. We appreciate your trust and look forward to being part of your flock journey.

“The prettiest, fluffiest chick ive every seen, and such a sweetheart!”
“We named this sweet girl Gengar (from Pokemon) and she had a mild case of straddle leg, but with 24 hours in a brace she has been good as new for 2 weeks! She is very friendly, and jumps up daily for pets! Her cute little cheeks help us tell her apart from our Lavender orpington, but from behind they look IDENTICAL! She is a very curious chick, very confident, and doesn't pick on any of the other chicks (we have 13 in a brooder).”
Thank you for sharing your experience. Gengar is such a fun name, and it sounds like she has quite the personality.
We are glad to hear her straddle leg resolved so quickly with your care. It is always great to see chicks bounce back and thrive. Her friendly and curious nature sounds exactly like what many people love about this gorgeous Lavender Easter Egger. Those cute cheeks really do make them stand out, even when the coloring is similar. It sounds like she has settled in beautifully with the rest of your brooder. We appreciate you sharing and are so happy she is doing so well!
“I had my Alice for 18 months until a Redtail hawk came along. She had a fantastic personality, was close to the sister chicks that she arrived with, and adapted to this spring’s new arrivals. She loved to harass the dogs, even lost a few tail feathers, and was the first to come running when I came toward the run. I miss every chicken I lose, but she was definitely special.”
We are very sad to hear that you lost such a special flock friend to a predator. The Lavender Dream Easter Eggers are a very special breed and particularly affectionate to the humans who love them. We do always have our favorites and we hope that you are able to memorialize her passing in some way that will remind you of the sweet girl she was. (Our family plants a chicken loving herb or plant over the places they are buried on our property!) When you are ready, we hope that My Pet Chicken will be your choice to help select your new favorite.
