I’m considering ordering some chicks from Mt. Healthy Hatcheries Inc. and would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with them!

What I’d Like to Know

  • Quality of Chicks: How healthy were the chicks when they arrived? Did they require any special care or treatment?
  • Customer Service: How was your experience with ordering? Did you have any issues with shipping?

I’ve ordered chicks from Mt. Healthy Hatcheries twice now and both times the quality has been exceptional. The birds were healthy upon arrival and have grown beautifully!

My experience with shipping was pretty smooth. They arrived just a day after the expected date, which I was okay with considering the weather conditions at that time.

5

Glad to hear! I’m planning to order soon. Did you have any interactions with customer service?

6

Yes, I contacted them about tracking my order and they were super helpful! A pleasant surprise for a hatchery. They responded quickly and provided all the info I needed.

That’s reassuring to hear! Good customer service makes all the difference when ordering live animals.

I’ve had my share of issues, though. One batch of chicks was smaller than usual and took longer to mature. Anyone else faced similar problems?

9

Oh no! That sounds frustrating. Did you reach out to them about it?

10

Yeah, I did, but their response was pretty generic. It made me feel like I wasn’t being taken seriously. Customer service can really make or break the experience.

11

That’s unfortunate. I hope they improve. But overall, I still think they offer decent products.

12

I’ve ordered from them multiple times and find their chicks to be quite robust. Just the other day I was joking with my friend, ‘These little guys are tougher than they look!’

13

Haha, that’s hilarious, Richard! I guess that’s a good sign of quality. Do you usually go for specific breeds?

14

Definitely! I love the Rhode Island Reds. They’re hardy and good layers. But sometimes I wish their customer service matched their product quality.

15

I feel you! I think a lot of companies slack on support. How do you think they can improve?

16

A little more training for their reps could go a long way. Good support staff make even bad situations manageable.

17

Well said, Tracy! If they improve their customer service, I think many of us would be happier customers!

18

That’s great to hear! What specific types of birds have you raised from there?

19

I’ve ordered hatching eggs from them a couple of times. The hatch rate was fantastic! 95% on my last order of Marans.

That sounds impressive! Did you experience any issues with the eggs during shipping?
