did the seller LIE? :(

Those are Columbian Rocks and they are goreous! It is a better pair than I've seen in 4H shows!

$10 is a darn good steal!!!!!!!!!

If you are seriously NOT wanting them, if you can ship, I am sure someone would take them off your hands for a bit more!

I have a pair of Rocks, different colored though, but they are very friendly. Rocks are dual purpase birds and have that great 'barnyard' chicken look and feeling to them. The rooster is a sweet little thing and the hen is tiny and quiet and very docile.

I have a Japanese bantam hen and she runs away when I come near. I've been working with her for two and a half years, from the day she was born, and she still doesn't like me. The Rocks, on the other hand, have known me for just around 2 months and are very friendly. They came around in no time and they were still raised by other hands, with God-know's-what treatment. If it wasn't for the fact that you were lied to, I'd think that you should be very happy.

And those birds look awesome. A stunning pair.

They are pretty--yes you kinda got lied to unless the seller was clueless too? Either way Id pay 10 just for that hen

very nice--were you looking for the Japanese? I dont have them but If you weren't looking and stumbled across this pair-you made out good!

I paid $15 for ONE hen last weekend.. You gotta deal... a beautiful deal. I know how it is to be disappointed but that pair of chickens are precious

I just saw a pair of Columbian Rock sell today for $15 each, and they could of been twins to yours! I'd say you got a good deal, and you will probably be happier with these than Japanese - considering ease of care, breed problems, and temperament.
I seriously doubt the seller lied to you, because if they did, they would have had to have some point like making extra money, or selling low-quality birds, and I don't think they did either! I think the seller was just misinformed. You came out at the good end of this deal

I agree... that makes a lot of sense

Gorgeous rocks!!

I'd take them in a heartbeat if I were closer to ya.

I have bantam buff rocks, and am trying to hatch some bantam barred rocks as we speak.

I have never seen bantam columbian rocks - even though I live in the middle of nowhere

, but I am assuming they are not that common.

but then, until I got my bantam buff rocks, I had never seen those, either. I've already had two people ask me for babies when they are old enough to lay.

hopefully that'll be soon

Pretty! Not Japanese though. That color is often seen in Japanese so seller made a mistake? Nice though!
