I’m definitely no fan of the breeder and definitely think they’ve intentionally lied and kept secrets about their practices with this bird.shameful really. Says everything I need to know about them and I will never buy directly from them. I struggled with deciding if I even wanted to mess with...
I’ve also heard over and over again the original breeder will not respond to anyone regarding a thing to do with breeding them, making it even harder for information about them to be obtained.

monday I picked up 10,1month old barn yard mix chicks. Lady was weird and sketchy. What ever, each their own. She greeted me with them in a box at the closed gate and rushed me off. I get them home and none of the chicks can walk with out falling over. Some don't even try to move.labored...
Also, a good friend whom I just took in four gorgeous lady's from,brought to my attention how incredibly hard it is to re-home not sell but give your pet chickens (lets face it! To some of us they're pets!)to a descent place. Craigslist is a night mare!
