Final update! We got a response from Hoover’s. Here is the excerpt from their email: “Good afternoon, Based on the photos you have provided; these appear to be Midnight Majesty Marans. At this age, it is hard to tell if they are males or females. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until...

Update - The Staffmember at Wilco was very nice, and said due to state law they cannot take a bird back once it’s sold for disease prevention, which I suppose makes sense. Once we spent a minute looking at Hoover’s videos and showing the staffmember this thread, she agreed they aren’t Midnight...

Like always, I’m gratefully overwhelmed by the support, information, and advice on here. And I guess it isn’t that surprising that a mistake like this could happen. It’s 0530 local time, but as soon as Wilco opens I’ll call and see if they’ll make this right!

Hey guys! On the way home from work, the Mrs excitedly told me that our local farm store had Midnight Majesty chicks in stock and asked me to pick up a few. Soon after I arrived home with (3) Midnight Majesty Pullets and a Buff Orpington. My wife opened the chirping box and immediately thought...
