“I received two of these little girls almost 4 weeks ago now, and they are striking in color and personalty! The yellow hues on them are so cute but the feathers that are coming in are superb and do look like true lavender. So far they love handling and walk right up for some cuddles.
I had a total of 3 chicks shipped to me in the mail and they all arrived completely healthy. I like using a heat plate for my chicks but I set up the lamp for when they first arrived, I wish I had pictures but it was basically like the “claw” scene in Toy Story - with them just basking in the light while staring straight up at it. I’ve bought “day old chicks” at the store before but these girls were little - I showed them how to eat and drink. I removed the lamp after about 4 days and switched to the plate. I also provided some extra electrolytes on top of their chicks boost probiotic for the first day or two to make sure they were well hydrated - and it’s been easy sailing from there.
Also, I was REALLY happy with the packaging of the chicks. They seemed to be cocooned in and their heating pack was still warm after being shipped Monday and arriving Wednesday. I would 100% order from here again.”
We truly appreciate you letting us know how happy you are with your little Lavender Dream Easter Eggers! We think they are "dreamy" as well :-) Your feedback regarding the packaging is very helpful as we strive to do our best to ensure all of our babies are safe and healthy when they arrive at their new homes. Please let us know if you ever have any questions as My Pet Chicken hopes to help you with your flock needs in the future!
“My little Daphne is just a few weeks old now and is extremely friendly! When I put my hand in the brooder, she runs TO me, hops in my palm and will sit in my hand for awhile even falling asleep on me! Her color is GORGEOUS! I only ordered 4 chick's (city rules), all arrived healthy, active, and perfect. Extremely pleased with entire process so far, easy ordering, great selection and information on website. Very happy with my chicks and My Pet Chicken !!”
Oh! Little Daphne sounds just absolutely adorable! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us how she is doing and how happy she makes you!
“All eight (8) of my gals arrived happy and healthy!
First, I’ll give a little information on when they shipped/how long it took/etc… for those nervous folks like me! They hatched in Ohio on a Monday and by 4:30 PM, I received notification they were in route. They then arrived in Cleveland around 7:30 PM. I anxiously waited and never got another notification until I got a call Wednesday morning from my local post office. They evidently shipped from Cleveland late Monday night, but it took about 30 hours to make it to my local post office (Galveston, TX which is an hour south of Houston). I was able to pick them up at 8:30 AM from the post office. The total time in transit was about 40 hours give or take.
They are now one week old today, and all growing so fast. Wing feathers are developing nicely on all of them. They all eat like little oikers, and love to chase flies (a big problem on the Texas coast). I ordered one of each of a Silked White Easter Egger, Blue Splash Ameraucana, Lavender Dream Easter Egger, Blue/Black/Splash Orpington, Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Egger, Golden Cuckoo Maran, Golden Laced Wyandotte, and an Olive Egger. The Silked and the Golden Maran both have feathers on their legs, so that is exciting for me! I am struggling telling the difference in a few of them. I know the Silked, the Golden Maran (she is brown and looks just like the photo), the Wyandotte (also looks just like the posted photo), and the Lavender Easter Egger. The Bluebar and the Olive Egger look almost identical, and the Blue Splash Ameraucana and Orpington are too similar for me to tell tight now. I’m super excited to watch as they grown to figure this mystery out!
Personalities are developing, but the Golden Cuckoo Maran is EASILY the more inquisitive and friendly. She runs up to the edge of the pen every time I unzip the top (which by the way they HATE when I unzip and zip up that top of the pop-up brooder). She also will jump in my hand and try to walk up my arm. She is going to be fun! The Golden Laced Wyandotte and the Lavender Dream Easter Egger can’t stand her getting all the attention, so they then come up to visit me. One of either the Bluebar or the Olive Egger is also pretty friendly. The other one will not get anywhere near me! After reading reviews, it might be the Bluebar. The Silked White Easter Egger, and the Blue/Black/Splash Orpington eventually come over as they see the others having fun with “papa”.”
Thank you for this wonderful review which is so helpful to your fellow flock keepers in what to expect when ordering their babies from My Pet Chicken! We are so happy to hear they are doing well and bringing you happiness! Please let us know how we may help you with your flock needs in the future!
“Dreamy is right! Our little Lavender Dream EE is positively divine, and as sweet as the name implies. She is calm, shy, and loves to cuddle, not particularly vocal, and is showing the classic independence that Easter Eggers are known for. She is always in the middle of the chick pile, the last to ask for cuddles, and the first to run off and explore. Most Easter Eggers I have kept are a fickle mix of fun and flighty, but all are docile, hardy, and excellent layers for many many years. Our oldest EE is 7 yrs old, and still lays an impressive amount of eggs, so I have high hopes for this little beauty as well. Definitely recommend the breed for all backyard flocks.”
Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful photos of this precious baby! We also appreciate your wonderful review of the Lavender Dream Easter Eggers as it surely helps those who may be curious about the breed!
“I didn’t receive my lavender dream Easter Egger which was a bummer, but understandable. I received a green queen Easter Egger instead. She is adorable and the smallest in my flock by far”
We are so sorry that your Lavender Dream Easter Egger was unavailable. But we greatly appreciate your kindness and understanding and are so glad you love your little Green Queen Easter Egger bantam! My Pet Chicken is glad to help you for any future flock needs.
“I got one of these ladies super early, they had very few available, and they are sold out until late summer now when it's way to hot to add chicks, so I was super excited to have one to go with my lavender Ameraucanas and Splash Marans. This girl appears fluffier than the pure Ameraucana, like her neck is just so fluffy and the beard is spectacular! Excited to see the green tint eggs in the future compared to the blue eggs and brown/Chocolate! She's also wider than the Ameraucanas so I think she will be a heavier bird when an adult? She has different/darker legs right now so even though I banded her I can actually tell them apart...at least for now! Excited to see her in a few months! She seems bold and very sweet and calm.”
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so happy you are pleased with your Lavender Dream Easter Egger and hope that you share photos of her green or blue eggs with us in the future.
