"Feather Lovers Farms"

[Topodeep]

Can anyone tell me if this is a reputable business? They have some birds I'm interested in but they're expensive and I don't want to take any chances.
Thank you

Rip off artist took me for more than $300.. Don't trust them! They are shady as can be.. real responsive until they've got your money. I'm not the only one.

I never saw a dime back nor a bird.. and their stupid policy which I agreed to by ordering from them went past my credit card time frame to dispute the charges.

Avoid them like the plague.

ETA: search their name..

I got some birds from them. Rather expensive and just over all, I really wouldn't risk it. I got Mareks a few months later, and while it could have come from a different source, I'm not certain it didn't come from FLF. Lots of people have had poor experiences with them

Thank you, Sparky. Think I will shop elsewhere.

Well.... I should have asked my question earlier.

Now I have a story for you. I made the mistake of purchasing 6 "Show Quality" Silky Chicks from the afore mentioned business.

The chicks were shipped over the recent holiday so, they were held at the Post Office for an extra day. This was after I had asked the seller to hold them.

When the chicks arrived, 5 were dead and the chick that was alive was very tiny with just a spark of life. It wouldn't stand and wasn't eating or drinking.

I put a tsp. of chick feed in a dish with purified water and a pinch of Chick-Saver electrolytes. Then I used an eye dropper to put one drop of just the liquid in the little things' beak. It took a few drops, but I was afraid I would drown it, so I put it back in a box with a warming light.

I kept this up every hour and it started to take a little more each time. It finally started to show some life as I picked it up to administer the fluids and seemed eager to swallow more.

To shorten this.... I had to leave for the day, but I put feed and water in the box and left the little thing in Gods hands.

When I got home this afternoon, it was sitting upright under the heat lamp and then got up on wobbly legs and went to drink. An hour ago, it made its way to the feed and started to peck at it.!!
At this point, I think it might survive.!

But... I had ordered 6 "Show Quality" Silkies.

This survivor is a Show Girl!
