“Beautiful chick. She is also very curious and lively. She loves to be talked to. Not so big on being touched but fun to watch her running around and and exploring her area. We named her Lacey.”
“Fast shipping (about 16 hours) and in good condition. Out of the six we ordered, our silver laced Wyandotte is a little more hesitant to approach us.”
“Healthy and happy!
She arrived on time with my other three pullets. Packaged well and quickly recovered from the trip.
My Pet Chicken has a fantastic website. Well designed and easy to use. But best of all they have awesome customer service. Highly recommend!”
“The Silver Laced Wyandotte we got in our bundle of 4 hens is extremely aggressive. Attacking the toes, constantly charging and chasing after the other hens, constantly pecking and lashing out at anything it can see. I have never seen such a small mad animal before.
My Easter Egger came in the arrival package of 4 hens 2 weeks ago. It has been a nightmare.
My easter egger has terrible pecking wounds that im sure were only exacerbated by the fact the chickens were kept in a small shipping container with nothing keeping the birds from attacking each other.
Pecking wounds aren't a bid deal, if it weren't for chickens being known for attacking sores, especially those that are bleeding.
So now I need to divide my quarantine pen, again, to separate this poor chicken so she doesn't continue to be attacked. Buying 'peck be gone' and other homemade remedies to try to prevent pecking. Only for it all to be in vain as the creature suffers, this Chicken is awful.
Costing even more money, stress and aggravation than any of it is worth. This is a disaster.
Do not buy animals online. Despite the claims, its safer, or safe or 'minimum fatality rate' or whatever boilerplate corporate jargon is used, they are living animals, and there is no way to ship 4 living creatures in something no larger than a bread box and expect it to go smoothly.”
We are so very sorry that your Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet had a streak of bad behavior. Did our suggestions of separating her for a week or two help? The last communication we had was on February 22nd and we are curious if your little one ever calmed down with maturity or continued in her bullying behavior after the forced separation. Usually, as suggested, the separate quarters - while allowing the flock to still see one another - will do the trick without having to purchase products such as the "peck be gone" you mentioned. Please let us know how all members of your flock are doing and how we can possibly help.
Mistakes can happen. If we sent you the wrong breed by mistake then we will absolutely refund for that bird, please reach out to our Flock Care Specialists and we will take care of you right away!
