“I’m so happy with my chicks!
I ordered 16 total (all different breeds) and they all arrived safely! Shipping chicks is stressful for everyone but they were clearly sent with great care.
I’m so excited about my little Ayam! She’s very inquisitive, friendly, and a good runner and jumper. Like other reviewers have said, she is the smallest of the bunch (no bantams in this order) but still brave and robust. Not to worry, they are just a lean little breed!
I bought the MPC pop up brooder prior to these chicks arrival and had everything set up before they got home. When my husband and I placed them in the brooder they all knew exactly what to do right away! I didn’t have to show them to their food or water at all. They knew how to use a nipple drinker as well as a traditional chick safe waterer right away. My last hatchery chicks grew into wonderfully sweet and intelligent hens but they were much flightier than these chicks. These are definitely the most sociable and curious babies I’ve ever had. The brooder is awesome because I can sit or lie down on the floor to interact with them on their terms because of the front door-and wow are they cute! They will hop into our hands and fall asleep and then get up and get the zoomies together, it’s amazing. We’ve been having a blast because they are so darn active and unafraid. If they get frightened by something, they will actually take a second look to see exactly what’s going on and calm down. They must have come from happy, emotionally mature stock!
I’ve ordered from two different hatcheries before MPC (one for chicks and the other for waterfowl) and while both experiences at the two other hatcheries were good, using My Pet Chicken was much more pleasant and less stressful overall. I especially prefer this company greatly due to their ethics and transparency, so I can recommend them to anyone. The fact that they do NOT sell broiler breeds and don’t beak trim pullets is exactly the kind of thing I look for when supporting a company dealing with animals. MPC definitely seems to have a great deal more knowledge, love, and respect for these animals than others.
Packaging seems to be the best here (& certainly communication!) and their customer service was excellent. They were fantastic at getting back to me with all my questions and concerns regarding my order/ shipping. Besides this, I really like many of the products they offer on their website as well as the numerous articles the have up that all help making chicken husbandry easier, safer, and more fun. If I use just one source for shipping chicks and supplies, it’ll be MPC!”

“This little chick is so cute!!
We ordered 7 chicks in total, and all a different breed. This little Ayam Cemani is the smartest, fastest, funniest, most active of the bunch. We named her Elvira and we love her to death and would definitely buy more.”
Thank you for taking the time to review our little babies! These little ones are full of life and just wonderful to have in any backyard flock! We are so happy to hear she is doing well and bringing you happiness! My Pet Chicken hopes to help you with your flock needs in the future!
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this great review of our little ones! We truly hope all of the chicks from your My Pet Chicken order will bring you great happiness for many years to come.
“Worth the money!
Such a great breed!
Mine grew a little slower and I noticed it was smaller than my other breeds. But she is fast and flighty. Not wanting to be held like my other breeds, but maybe that's just her personality.
Beautiful green sheen to her feathers!”
Lisa we are so very sorry about the loss of your Ayam Cemani. We understand how heartbreaking it is. We have been in touch with you directly about your loss and it is covered by our live arrival guarantee.
“We bought two chicks, but one didn't make it. That bummed me out. (They did give me a refund). But the one who made it, we named Sweetie, because after 12 years of chickens, she's the sweetest one we have ever had. She sits on our shoulder like a parrot. She never pecks us. She coos, and she rubs her face on our hands and our leg. As a chick, she thought we would keep her safe (she was nearly dead last on the pecking order and still is.) But she is the SWEETEST little thing alive, which is helpful when people come over and want to meet her. That being said, she has been fairly hardy and lays an egg or two or sometimes three each week (small cream eggs.) Everyone wants to know if we painted her beak and comb. hahaha.”
Although we are sorry about the baby that didn't make it. We are very excited to hear this update on Sweetie. She may be at the bottom of the pecking order, but sounds like she is quite an ambassador for up and coming chicken owners.
