I wanted to make sure post here to beware other people. I already wrote down a form and submitted to Animal protection gov and BBB. I would recommend you guys to do it too if you guys ordered from same company and have issue with same thing.

I had such crazy first experience in 7 years of order chicks to shipping to my postal office.

English is not my first language, please bear with me.

I ordered chicks from that company, which is small business. However, I have issue communicate with a person. At first I believed my four out of five chicks might died due of too cold. I wasn't used with their "two weeks old" chicks policy/TOS to shipping them, they said it's more stronger and safer than one day old. I still have solo survivor seem little off and struggles. She is near four weeks old now, I think.

They even said in TOS that they will not refund client once chicks in shipping box handed over to the USPS. It's become USPS's responsibility. I doubt it was USPS's fault. I did filled out a form and evidence for refund from USPS, got denied. I tried second time, denied.

I'm still waiting for a person to respond on the email, nothing. Only they gave me review email. Therefore, I put one star on review and wrote description. It's submitted into their website page where review are. They deleted it one-two days later after I reread review. Lucky, I was screenshot it before they can delete it. Then I start to keep eyes on the reviews, more clients posted one star reviews on June 1-4. I screenshot it too in the case. Then last night, I rechecked, all one star review deleted. I got suspected, it wasn't only mine too. I went to deep research about that company. I found so many negative information about that company which made me concern about highest rate death of chicks. I felt that company needed to check. even survivor ones are very small for two weeks old.

I paid around $150 for five chicks and shipping as well, person seem not want to be responsibility about chicks death.

you will able see so many complaint from clients too but in different website since main company website don't want share it in review. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...gative-experiences-are-in-the-thread.1566527/

Ideal Poultry has Russian Orloff. Probably not show quality, but they are a reliable hatchery and will fulfill orders without a hassle.

I don’t mind about quality long as it’s still look almost similar. i found one in this https://www.koopscoops.com/ , only need to ask them for specific breed. A person will contact to specific breed place to get one.

I like my gal I have from them. I think she's too dark to be worth showing, but she's definitely robust

I’ve bring a chick to vet. They examined her. Find nothing wrong but still gave dewormed in the case. They said my chick is underweight and dehydrated. Therefore, i already started with warm water mix a food to make it softer and easier to eat for her, i started with it last week.

They said will need to exam her again in next 6 months since chick hide disease so well.
