I will NEVER order from them again.
I had their so called Rhode island Whites...........AWFUL BIRDS!!!!!!!! wrong eveything, and to top it off, only 1 hen out of 4 laid, the rest either never laid or they laid a shell-less egg on the poop tray at night.
The cock bird was nasty mean, and would not stop attacking..even after you repeatedly smacked him with a shovel just to try to get out of the pen.
The hens were so mean they would jump & try to spur us as well.
The hens killed several other birds that were in the pen, as well as several chicks that got into their pen by accident.
Nasty mean!
I ordered Buckeyes from Sandhill over a year ago, and after 8 mo & 3 mo after the delivery date, repeated e-mails and phone messages I left begging to know when the date was to deleiver the chicks..they finally answered the phone & told me they had lost almsot all their Buck flock to Owls, skunks & possums and could not fill my order of 25 chicks.
I wonder how long they were going to go on before they actually answered my messgaes & paid me back?
They cashed my check in early Dec of 2010, delivery #1 was April, next were 2 days in June..time just went by, with no response from them.
Not very responsible people if you ask me.
Poor stock to say again.
Never again!
I have many friends here that say the same thing.
They do not show their birds either, not in show competition nor in the catalog.
I am editing to add, for the benefit of the doubt: That they may have some nice birds.
There are people who love their Sandhill birds, and my experience is what made my opinion.
Poor quality birds & poor 'service'.
I had brooding pens ready on every delivery date, all 4 dates no chicks arrived, and 2 months after the last "possible delivery date" I finally got through on the phone to them.
How long were they gonna waite to call me and refund?
Just my opinion.
