… did I get what I paid for?

[BulldogsNChickens]

Yes I’d be willing to share the name I will say I’m still not sure but I have seen people recently talking about their birds they got from them being sick and I’ve had better luck with Raley farms BCM but hers are black though. I only have 2or 3 surviving blues (some of them are dark blue) I just lost a black copper from the bunch I got from Boise breeder they sent me off with a sick chick in my batch when I picked up my 10 that I held the entire way home. So I personally am in the same boat as you as I got my chicks from Harper family farms and one of these bcms they gave me is either a cuckoo Maran or an Easter egger/ Maran cross or an olive egger Maran cross because she has barring on her wings. I’m not sure what is happening but I definitely won’t be back sadly

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Same breeder for me. I will say however, that I got two barred rock pullets from them that are doing awesome and super healthy. It’s only the blue Copper Marans that I’ve had the trouble with. In fact, all of the other chicks I got, including the black copper from them are doing fantastic. I was wondering if maybe the blues were brand new hatched and not ready for the stress of going to a new place… May also account for why they’re so tiny? This is my first time with Copper Marans though so I wasn’t sure if it’s a breed thing. Idk
