Hi everyone so I saw a thread in here from a few years ago and there was no way to continue on it but wanted to give you an update as I have just had an experience with fabulous feathered silkies lady her name is Dawne.
She sold me five chicks I'm new to all of this, they were immediately sick and two of them died. I didn't see any dead chicks when I was there but I did notice that she had all of her chickens screwdrivered into coops where she had to get a screw gun and unscrew the actual coops just to let them out and they all ran as fast as they could towards a bottle of water she turned on the hose and they just drank frantically. My guess is that they never come out of those coops there were hundreds of them running around everywhere. I felt like I was in a puppy mill but for chickens. I bought five chickens from her at $20 a piece. Three of them are still alive and probably will make it I don't know what they had but it's some sort of respiratory issue. I fear that I will never be able to put them with my flock because I don't know what they have and haven't got the money right now to take them to a vet to find out. So although they will live, I'm not sure what they have, if they are carriers, etc so it sucks for them to have to live separately and for me too. I wanted them as part of my flock. She text me out of the blue and asked me weird questions and I text her back and told her not to contact me ever again and that two of the chicks had died and she said she had never ever sold a sick chick and that I should have come to her immediately and why did I wait so long? I said I wasn't even going to tell you I just don't want anything to do with you don't contact me again. I also talked to an amazing lady who's very reputable and she helped me out a lot with this situation she was very sweet and very nice and cautioned me and told me what to look for so now I have a better idea as to how to handle situations like this. Does anyone who is reading this think I should turn her in for my experience, given there were so many other people on the previous thread in 2019 and 18 that had the same issue with her and she's obviously still doing it? If so just tell me who I'm supposed to call and what I'm supposed to say I do have some pictures. Please don't buy anything from fabulous feathered silkies!
