Chick show 🐣

I personally believe Greenfire Farms scams their customers.

I got the six I ordered plus three extras, they are healthy and happy.
I spoke with an employee for quite a while through emails, who was very kind and knowledgeable. She also had first-hand experience with the birds, and answered some of my questions from her personal experience.
Obviously it all could have been lies, but it seemed truthful. She even said she volunteered at the raptor-center where the extra cockerels go.

Yep, they have a website. They are wonderful, kind to speak with, their breeder birds are rotated between grass pastures, and the the birds live in small flocks.
They are the original importers of many breeds but most notably Crested Cream Legbars and Swedish Flower hens.
Prepare to go broke.

okay so i will look at the site but i aint buyin anything

But they're of better quality!
My adult Spitz now are from Cackle, each one is very different in color, the roos were way to big, and one gold has "leakage" of black. The greenfire Spitz will probably have some of these problems, but they should be better. They are also imports from Switzerland.
Think of Greenfire more as a breeder of several breeds than a hatchery.
It probably is a little bit of a rip off, but I'm foolish enough to pay it!

nice understandable

wait what happened
i remember he/she was in my chick pic contest

In the beginning of the summer it rained and then got hot. Then the gnats came out. They were fine when I left for school and when I came home they were both dead, covered in gnats. Some people dont believe me that they were suffocated by the gnats, but I dont think it is a coincidence that they both died on the same day, healthy looking birds, when the gnats came in swarms of a hundred. The next day, before I got the gnats under control, a hen died. She had green skin. She wasn't very healthy to start with, had crop problems, and was broody. I think the broodiness contributed because she sat in one spot all day allowing the gnats an easy snack. I think she died of blood loss.
