This is her. Her tail is a little high and she could use more barring but I think she looks nice.

Pretty girl!

I am relatively new to chickens (two years), but not new to animals.  I have raised, bred and sold Irish sport horses and champion Labradors for years.  I have discussed it with many people, but have yet to figure out why fraud, dishonesty, and deception are seemingly commonplace with those who deal in animals.  I suspect that unlike a traditional brick-and-mortar retail enterprise, it doesn't take as much personal investment to buy a couple of animals, let them do what comes naturally, and then throw an ad up on Craigslist or a hobby-related forum, use a couple of good buzz words, and take advantage of the endless stream of newbies.  Whether it's reptiles, chickens, dogs, cats, or horses, there is always a new "hot" breed or color that everyone wants, and the unscrupulous can misrepresent.  Plus, given the long-arm distance of the internet, the hucksters can continuously change names and identities and enjoy the constant stream of naive folks who think that everyone out there is as good-hearted and well-intentioned as they are.

I have dealt with the large popular breeders (perhaps the largest), and have been treated extremely poorly, due in no small part to the fact that even if I get so disgusted I withdraw my business (as I did), it matters little, because of endless line of customers behind me who will gladly jump into my spot to obtain the new imported breed.  I have also dealt with the small-scale individuals who flat out lie and send poorly-packaged boxes of barely-packaged feces-covered eggs that all turn out to be clear (seriously, is there even a rooster in there with those hens?) as they take my money and laugh all the way to the bank, knowing that no matter how much attention I may try to call to them on forums such as this, they will always find new suckers to dupe.

My only salvation has been the true hobbyists on this forum who have shown me that not everyone is a complete shyster.  Folks like ChicKat and others, who simply want folks like me to get the same enjoyment out of these birds as they do, and extend grace from the bottoms of their hearts to do so, and help a relative newcomer like myself to not simply throw my hands up in the air and walk away from the entire hobby because of the crooks.  One day, if I have birds that warrant it, I will reach out to the newbies and show them the kindness I have been shown.  That's the only way to repay it - by paying it forward.

Very very well put makes me want to say Amen

Here's some updated pics of these two. They are about 5 weeks now. I'm happy to say that today the breeder finally agreed that they are not the right coloring, are most likely cockerels and agreed to take them back! Yay! Thanks to this awesome forum for your support. You all are great!
