Here’s the scenario, What would you do?
I normally don’t hatch chicks just to sell if I don’t already have someone lined up to buy the chicks. This year, I hatched a few extra Olive Egger chicks and instead of growing them out myself, my brooder is busting at the seems so decided to make a nice little ad for the 13 OE chicks straight run. Someone contacted me, wanted them all. Fantastic! Did not make arrangements to pickup while we were initially corresponding. Lifs busy I understand. A couple days later I reach out and ask about pick up and I was told they just got out of the hospital and only wanted 4 now. Twice I said please let me know when you can pick up. Last response was “I get that”. That was MONDAY. I need to move these chicks. Do I message her AGAIN? Or just sell them to someone else and chalk her up to a no show? I don’t want her to be upset I sold the chicks out from under her but she hasn’t set a time/date to pick up. I hate harassing people more than once, maybe twice.
What would you do?
This is why I don’t like to sell chicks to the public… I usually just hatch for myself and a few people that contact me through word of mouth.
