“I didn't believe that sexed bantams could be a reality until I found My Pet Chicken! My girls are almost 8 weeks old and were sexed correctly! They are arrived happy and healthy. They are also gorgeous and sweet and I'm so happy to have them. 10/10 would buy again!”
“Miss Spoons is a little style maven: she looks like she‚Äôs wearing a fox fur stole over grey sweats, hoping to go unrecognized while she runs into the grocery store for some ciggies and a Perrier.
She moves like a tiny figure skater, doing little figure eights, and swirling up suddenly from under her flock-mates’ wings. She’s graceful and has a slightly whispery voice, chirping mostly in apparent approval, except for the few times she’s found herself underfoot, stomped on inadvertently by her huge, dark Brahma sister. Then she swears like nobody’s business, shrieking everybody else into stunned silence.
She‚Äôs got sort of a Faye Dunaway vibe, slightly haughty and intense. If one morning I see her show up with oversized square sunglasses, frosted lipstick, or an entourage, I won‚Äôt be all that surprised. I may ask for her autograph, but I suspect she‚Äôll just glare and hustle away.”
“Our Mille Fleur D'uccle is just so sweet!! Just as sweet as the Silkies we also ordered. Extremely calm and let my kids catch and hold her. Loves to perch and fly at 4 weeks....always on top of the starter box I got from MPC and sometimes out in my laundry room, but knows how to fly back in. Just as attached to this chicken as any dog I have had. Will sit on my shoulder like a cockatiel all day. Love her!!”
“I was buying silkies when they ran out , to buy the 5 in my cart I needed to add one more chick . Customer service suggested this breed, said they get along pretty good with silkies and also kids.
When we opened the box we noticed eye was sealed shut . I was able to wipe it off but over night it happened again and again . I contacted customer service about it and they didn’t want to do anything to make it right , said it would go away on its own.
Hatch date was September 30 and we are February 7 and her eyes still shut close every single night . She seems healthy otherwise but I will tell you quality isn’t there . No one else caught her eye issues but two of my silkies that came with her died . So that’s three out of six birds with health issues and the company wouldn’t do do anything about it .
Aside from that , she’s the sweetest chicken I ever ever owned in my life . She is half the size of my smallest silkie the same hatch date ! I don’t know if that’s a quality issue or if they really are that much smaller .
Dottie is kind of a loner in some senses , no one picks on her and she doesn’t fight , she cuddles a little with the others but otherwise stays to herself . Sleeps by herself .
Dottie loves attention and loves to perch on your arm or finger . She’s a total chatterbox ! Will put her foot on mine and look straight up and chatter away . Lol She’s my favorite!!
The breed is SO wonderful , even with the children and fine with silkies . I prefer this breed over silkies in a flash for anyone deciding .
Just know these aren‚Äôt by any means show quality birds and quality isn‚Äôt great .”
“I have several types of bantam chickens, and by far, the friendliest hens I have are these little sweeties. They‚Äôre very inquisitive, and love to be held. They‚Äôll jump up on my lap if they think I have a treat for them. Definitely the breed I would recommend for someone who wants a snuggle chicken.”
“We received Hazel along with some australorps and Barred Rocks. Hazel is the sweetest little bantam. She loves being on our shoulders and is easy to handle once we can catch her. She is very fast! All our birds we ordered were given blue ribbons at our 4-H show, and our little Hazel took purple with my grandson in showmanship. She rests on his hand and just loves being around him. I will definitely be ordering again!”
“We loved our chick. She was happy, healthy, and so small upon arrival. Unfortunately, she was the smallest in our flock and we lost her to a predator. These things do happen, so it‚Äôs something to keep in mind when adding them to your flock.”
“Our little Millie is personality plus! She is so much fun. Very inquisitive and wants to know everything that‚Äôs going on. She is So enjoyable my son is making the d‚Äôuccle his hatching project for 4-H. He loves them. Will definitely be getting more.”
