Paid $39 each for four 10- to 16-week old hens. Ordered a couple of months out.
Went to pick up during the time I was told; owner had already left. His assistant gave me four chicks that were about four weeks old. I said I ordered 10-16 week-olds; she assured me that "these had been here a while."
I'm not the most chicken-literate person, and even I could tell they were nothing like that, but I'd driven all the way out from Anchorage, so I took them, figuring maybe I was wrong.
It took two days to get a response text; owner assured me they were older ("at least thirteen weeks" -- which they absolutely aren't!) and when I told him that 4-week-olds don't meet my needs, he told me to "give them care and they will grow."
YES, of course, but I need adults *now*; that's why I paid $39 each instead of $7 for chicks! I would pay $12 each for that young, but not $39!
No refund, no offer to swap them...nothing. Just crickets. read more
