The Hatching House?

[Dallywhere]

Shipping delays and sick chicks. I ended up hatching some eggs from elsewhere and got healthy birds.

We ordered very expensive rare breed hatching eggs from them and not one of them hatched. She also said she would send us extras because of the extra long wait for the eggs and she did not send any extras. She then offered to send us new eggs and she kept putting us off until we finally just said whatever. I wouldn't buy from them if you want your money's worth.

When ordering online be very careful. With any business there is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Some she must be doing correctly but then again my experience with her was expensive and NOT GOOD.

Last Fall, I ordered from The Hatching House and paid $200. They arrived dead and dying and I contacted her immediately. She said she would make it up to me with next Spring's order. This Spring, She contacted me telling me certain chicks were available. I took the bait. She said she would make it up to me. New charge for order would be $350. And I paid and waited. After a month I tried to cancel and she told PayPal all orders are Non- Refundable Custom Orders. She finally sent order, 8 Roos looked like Delawares with orange legs and not the Straight Run of Salmon English Orpingtons ordered. Two Roos died before first night, gave away two Roos and 4 Roos more to find homes for.

I ordered chicks from Ultimate Orpingtons, which were bought out by The Hatching House in 2016. She sent us several emails, telling us they were honoring the orders on all purchased chicks. After waiting through fall and into late spring, I started to email them back for updates, which I never received. I finally posted on their facebook page, requesting an update. I received a very nasty email chastising my FB post for an update, which they deleted. Now it is late August, and nothing. Their website is gone. $200 down the drain. No, I would not recommend them

The back story, I placed an order through Greg Mignot and Linda Miller of Ultimate Orpingtons. They were bought out by AmyJo Labbe of The Hatching House which is where the Ole Yankee Farm is In Connecticut.

After sort of filling the orders...I learned to take cheap substitutes to get my 2 orders with Greg Filled by "the Hatching House"
Instead.

Later after I had accepted the cheap substitutes,..When she contacted me and told me she had what I order originally I gladly paid the extra $200 to get that order. Received dead and dying order. She said she would make it up to me next Spring. Next Spring rolls around and she. Contacted me and said she has the chicks but this Spring the order would cost me $350. And I reminded her of last year's orders and she said this was making it up to me the chickens I wanted she had upped the price to for $125. Each. And she would send me 6 plus 2 extra. Ok I paid the $350. And waited. Where are the chicks she already had? She said she has them Ready to go! No chicks!? Waited then finally I complained to PayPal and she tells them all orders are custom orders and no refunds, and No cancellations and they said all custom orders can not be cancelled.

How could they be custom order when she claims she hatched everything those chickens laid and eggs old mwnshe has th chicks I originally wanted. So March's order came much later in the form of another breed and all Roos. Anyway she shipped me an order not my order. I got a box of roos and posted on her site I was rehoming the Delaware Roos she sent instead of the Salmon English Orpingtons.

She deleted my Posts and closed down that site in particular but has another site that has been running since 2015. She goes to TSC and has done some type of show and tell and people like her site. She has made it so no one that has the truth to tell, like real customers can not post. One must sign in and she screens posts to decide who and what gets posted. Can not get the truth to people. She talks a good talk but she does not walk the walk. So sorry to hear your story as your story sounds so much like my story. And the only difference is she said she finally had the chicks ai wanted and I took the bait again! Will
Not happen again.
