Pictures of new chicks from MPC, PIC HEAVY!!

[Rick]

Thanks Chickadee28 and seafood for the hatchery notes. I went and checked out all three, My Pet Chicken, Meyers Hatchery, and Privett Hatchery, and they only sell Buff Orpingtons.

I'm lucky as my local feedstore got their chicks in last week (but the only color Orpington was Buff too).

Sorta feels like I'm playing one of those games where you "gotta collect all the various pieces" to win. Someday I'll get all the Oprington colors.

and have fun along the way.

Chickadee28 thanks for posting!

Psssttt!! Rick? shhh!!! don`t tell anyone, but I know where you can get at least 3 more colors of Orpingtons. Blues and blacks from Catalpa farms hatchery as well as Sandhill preservation. AND Murray Mcmurray carries white orpingtons. lol. good luck Tony

Sexed bantams! Meyer's doesn't offer that. MPC caters to backyard owners who typically want small numbers of female bantams, and as it stands MPC is the ONLY place that can provide those three things all at once.

Not aimed at you, but this isn't the first time I've heard that statement and it seems like this just keeps needing repeating. As long as MPC continues to be the only hatchery that offers sexed bantams, they're going to have a strong, if niche, market.

This is why I ordered from them, I wanted silkies and they are the only place that you can order females. I pd $10 per silkie chick, but it is worth it to me.
