I just got my silkies this morning plus the 6 packing peanuts that were sent. All are alive and well. I'm in Wisconsin and a snow storm just came thru yestarday, and I still got my order in 2 days.
I plan to keep the peanuts, they are going to be used as our meat birds. I also have 8 more meat birds coming from Meyer and 8 layers and 1 extra roo to keep. They are in the mail right now, I wish the usps would update their tracing more than once a day.
I'm with you, I'm not ordering my silkies to be shown. I also refuse to go thru a breeder but mainly because I can't believe how expensive they are thru the breeder. Our silkies are just here because my DD really wanted one, they are basically ornamental for us. As for Ideal, I have had great...
We're saying pointer because he points and his color pattrn, but hey he could coon hound in him. It wouldn't suprise me, he sleeps all the time lol. We also have an ACD mix thats 6 months old, we think she may be an ACD/border collie mix maybe. She's lean, runs really low to the ground, and pounces.
:) He's a Pointer mix. Not sure what he's mixed with, heck or if he really is a mix we're just guessing. We rescued him from a neighbors abusive husband (now ex) . He is serisouly the best dog I have ever owned, he is awesome with the kids and so loyal.
Oh the wait is crazy lol. I have 9 more days before my Ideal order shipa. 8 more days before my Meyer order ships. I still havent told DH their will be packing peanuts lol, but then again he never asked. I order 8 silkies from Ideal so if they give enough peanuts to get to approx 25 lol thats 17...
I just placed an order with Ideal last night and got my ship date in my email this morning. I should be expecting 8 silkies to be shipped Feb 29th :) I hope I get packing peanut too. I also order 17 from meyer but they didnt have the silkies available. Those are to be shipped Feb 28th. I can't wait.
