“Chick arrived happy and healthy! This batch was some of the most lively and active chicks that I've recieved from MPC. They are growing fast and thriving, which is great for silkies!”
“I recently added a black Silkie bantam chick to my flock from My Pet Chicken, and I couldn’t be happier! She arrived safe, warm, and perfectly healthy, thanks to their excellent packaging and care.
From the moment I opened the box, she was bright-eyed, calm, and curious — such a sweet little personality already! Her silky black fluff is absolutely gorgeous, and she has quickly become a favorite with our family.
It’s clear that My Pet Chicken takes great pride in raising happy, healthy chicks. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and I felt completely confident knowing she came from such a trusted source.
I highly recommend My Pet Chicken to anyone looking for beautiful, well-cared-for chicks. This little black Silkie has brought so much joy to our flock!”
What a cutie! Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted your new black Silkie has found her place in your flock and is already bringing so much joy. Her sweet personality and gorgeous silky feathers sound like such a treasure, and we’re so happy she’s thriving with you.
It means a lot to us to know that our care and attention made the process smooth and reassuring. We look forward to supporting you with any future additions and sharing more happy moments with your flock!
Thank you for your review and that beautiful photo. It sounds like your Black Silkie is off to a lovely start. Being more of a follower can actually be a great trait—it often means she is calm, gentle, and happy to be part of the group without stirring up any drama. Those easygoing personalities can bring a nice balance to the flock and make for a very sweet companion.
Oh my goodness! How cute is Beetle! Thank you so much for sharing her photo! We hope for many years of happiness with this little one and her flock mates! Please let us know if we can ever help with any questions as we are here for our fellow flock keepers!
“These are super cute, but required some specific care that I was unprepared for, I had to grind their food down even smaller than crumble, offer vitamins, and change out to a paper bedding because they were the only chicks that kept eating the fine shavings. Very sweet and adorable little bantams, but much more high maintenance than I was prepared for which lead to some losses. They seem to be doing better now that I've made several adjustments, If you've never kept Silkies before they're delicate little things and require extra care, so be prepared for that!
I would not recommend these simply because they are more high maintenance than I like for a chicken breed, not because of any issue with the chicks that were sent. They were very nice chicks and shipped with great care. I would recommend Cochins, either standard or bantam as an easier to get, and easier to raise alternative.”
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you found the Silkies sweet and adorable, but we understand the extra care they require can be surprising for new owners. Your insight about their delicate nature and the adjustments you made will surely be helpful for others considering this breed. We're sorry to hear about the initial losses, but it's great to hear they are doing better now. Silkies are indeed known for their unique needs, and we're happy you gave them the special care they required. Cochins are a wonderful, hardy alternative, and we appreciate your recommendation! If you decide to try other breeds in the future, we'd be happy to help find the right fit for your flock.
It is always sad when we lose one of our flock members but My Pet Chicken is thankful that we were able to assist you in adding another Black Silkie to your flock. Please let us know if you ever have any questions or if we can assist you with anything, we are happy to help our fellow flock keepers!
