    Bad Experience with big name, highly rated chick sellers.

    well, THIS "felt it their right to question why I wanted to cancel the order" is what I referred to. The "while wanting.." part is not the main part of the sentence. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough for you.

    Bad Experience with big name, highly rated chick sellers.

    Welp, 12 days and a few hours ago, I canceled my order. Immediately got a canceled order email, and on the website, "my account" showed the order and the cancelled order. Then, nothing. I've tried calling(got a recording telling me to email) and I've emailed. Still, nothing. My credit card has...

    Several questions

    I've raised Black Australorps for 10 years+ now, sold hundreds of day old chicks for couple bucks apiece, 50 or so 8 month old started pullets for $25, and more eggs than can be counted for 1-3 dollars a dozen. Australorps are always easy because once they start laying, they lay a LOT and in...

    Bad Experience with big name, highly rated chick sellers.

    I'm just used to ordering from places that don't charge until your order is packed. I guess 99% of what I order comes from Amazon. And I've never ordered anything that wouldn't even be made(in this case hatched) for 3 months, before. All new to me.

I couldn't figure any way to "reserve" them other than to go on and order them. Although the hatch date was 3 1/2 months away, they wanted 100% of the payment up front. Is...

    Can't decide...baby chicks or pullets...want them to be socialized but afraid of getting a roo!

    I have gotten day old chicks from Ideal hatchery and Murray McMurray along with a place I can't even remember the name of it's been so long ago, sexed, and no males mixed in. One time New Hampshire Reds, and the other 2 times, Black Australorps. And, o course there's always sex links. I don't...

    Several questions

    I've been amazed at the price of Black Copper Marans eggs on EBAY. I wonder 1. how long have those eggs been priced so high? 2. Why do people pay more for eggs that for sexed day old chicks(considering the hatch rate vs the day old chicks shipping survival rate) I see many, many sellers who are...

    introduction

    Not sure how to proceed so I'll just say whatever seems appropriate until I learn the protocols. Every 10 years or so, I'll change my primary breed of chickens. Right now, I'm easing away from Black Australorps after 10 years (more or less) and easing into New Hampshire reds. I have to tell...

    introduction

    I'm about halfway through life(72 years old) and not much fun. at the NC/VA line, north of Greensboro. I am curious, so have a lot of questions, and I do know a few things. Plus, tend to pop in with a joke at the most inappropriate times. Am at the end of the road. In more ways than one.
