Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I wonder were Mr Pompei has got to…. I see Marty in the window again, I can bet the grey girls are where they usually are (top of door and small crate), maybe Pompei is with one of the greys or maybe in a bottom nest box…..

Can you approach the seller and explain that they are not as advertised?

Ask for a rebate? Or a couple others just like them

I bet you got your money’s worth from those two beauties already!

I love the colours all of them, I still find it astonishing that chickens come in such a variety of colours

Well, I really love them so I don’t mind.

I agree! They do. As they grow and feather out that is exactly what they look like!
I thought I was a little senile for a minute.
I don’t really mind, because I love them and I think they are beautiful, and they are fun birds, great personality, so it was kind of fortuitous, BUT they were 25 dollars a chick because they were “lavender orpingtons”.
I think I got fleeced!

I would take pictures and send the hatchery an email with pictures attached and reference your order #.. You should get a full refund...or at least a refund of the difference between those and lav. orp. price.

On a good note: Don't tell @BY Bob , but you should now get some blue or pale green eggs!

I might take some pictures and ask them for a rebate since they are obviously not orpingtons.

Pretty and green there. I'm a little jealous Kelly. Actually I'm a lot jealous, lol.

Me too! So dry here right now. I am worried about the well so starting to save shower and dish water for the plants.

I agree, I will try that.

Marty is very interested in what Pompei has to say about nest boxes.

What a great roo you got there. So glad it is all working out!

I might see if I can get a rebate.
Good idea though, I wouldn’t mind two more like them. They are such nice birds.
