Thank you for taking the time to review our little ones! We hope for many years of happiness with your beautiful flock! Please let us know how we may help you in the future with any of your flock care needs or questions.
“They were all so adorable when they arrived. Very active and bright. The 1 and only issue came later as they aged. They will be 4months old in a few days. 1 of my 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes -F (I got 5 chicks total) was male. I was holding out hope that she was just a bearded girl but... the saddle feathers started coming in a couple weeks ago and I had to call it. A boy. He has been pretty quiet so far. I still give 5 stars cuz i know this happens and I was happy with the time I've spent with all of them even if 1 will be for a shorter time than the others. This was my first order and won't be my last. Lol”
While we are happy to hear that your little ones are doing so well, we were so very sorry to read that you suspect a sexing error on your order! We offer a live bird sexing error guarantee and we will refund you for any bird that has been incorrectly sexed, provided we are notified within the appropriate time frames. For breeds except silkies, that is between 14 to 22 weeks of the original ship date. Silkies take a bit longer to mature so they get a few more weeks and have until 19-30 from their ship date. We have reached out to you directly about your sexing error and look forward to do all we can to make up for any mistake.
“Of the four I ordered, one failed to thrive. She was born with her tongue sticking out of the side of her beak. She could drink, but could not eat. The others began picking at her tongue, so I separated her, but she didn't make it. Of the 4 breeds I ordered, the wyandottes seem to be the least clever, but that may change with age and development.”
We were so very sorry to hear about your little one's trouble and so sad that she did not thrive. It is absolutely heartbreaking whenever we lose a chick and you have our sincere sympathy. We hope the refund we issued as part of our live arrival guarantee has been viewed on your payment account by now. The little wyandottes are curious little ones and often will respond to positive reinforcement - usually with treats being involved. They are known to be very sociable creatures and we hope that your flock will bring you many years of happiness to come. Please let us know any time if you have any questions. We are happy to help our fellow flock keepers!
“This is such a striking bird! It takes a long time for the colors to really develop all the way but it's worth the wait! Good layers, fantastic in cold weather, but they also tolerate my NC humidity and heat in Summer without issue so if you dont live somewhere with 110 degree summers (like the middle of the desert) and you have shade for your birds you can probably keep these without too much fuss! I had one several years ago and bought two with this recent order to replace the one we lost about two years ago. Previous hens eggs were Large and a light tan to almost pinkish tint. would recommend!”
Thank you for your fantastic and thoughtful review! We appreciate how you describe the coloring progression with this breed as that is super helpful to your fellow flock keepers as well as letting us know about their eggs!. In addition to that, you are so right that this breed can do quite well in both the heat and cold. For humid areas, providing plenty of shade, good ventilation, and fresh water will help keep them comfortable. It sounds like your flock is thriving—thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing My Pet Chicken!
Your photo of the babies is so cute! Thank for sharing and letting us know how they are doing! We hope that we will continue to be your choice for your flock and their care needs - psst - and we have some great items for the keepers as well!
