I have a problem and need advice! I just got a message from someone I sold two pullets to about 2-3 weeks ago. It said that the girls are getting beaten up mercilessly by their other chickens and they want to know if I'll take them back. They said they don't want their money back just want them to be safe again. What should I do? They've already been exposed to who knows what and I have new ones in my only quarantine area. What would you guys do??

I would tell them absolutely not! Then I would tell them to research how to introduce new chickens to the flock. It might sound cold-hearted, but you have to protect your flock at any cost. Just my 2c...

You are absolutely correct, Benny. We keep the smart people in the private sector, and give the "others" government jobs. We citizens can recognize a terrorist attack within seconds, but our goverment doesn't want to cause panic, so they refuse to say the truth. I wish our government was more like yours...

Ouer goverment has its problem and stupidities but when we see an enemy we don't hesitate,and try to categories his action! we kill him, and blow its home to the sky!

Hello, all, just a quick visit. I can't stay because the potential for getting in trouble is too tempting.

RN, don't take them back.

This really sucks!! I mean, I don't want them getting beaten up. They are defenseless little silkie girls. But I don't want to risk my flock. You think I could quarantine them with the news ones I got?? Or is that a bad idea?

Surprisingly, I think I agree with SC..    

Unless you want to take them back. But then do you have a way to separate them?  I wouldn't put them back in general population for sure

I think Ruby is on track to becoming a breeder and selling a lot. No returns. Nip that in the bud right now. It's hard enough to sell them the first time. It's sad for the chickens, but the sad truth is that some people regret their purchase soon after. Thats not the sellers fault, or responsibility. The only returns I will do is if I sell a pullet that starts crowing, then those unfortunate fellows end up in the freezer

I agree with not taking them back - unless you really want them for your program and have a safe place to quarantine them.

Not unless you want to risk the new ones.

Ruby, you're a sweetheart with a lot of compassion, but don't start doing that. Right now it's only 2. By the summer you will have many more of your birds our there, and you won't have room for returns. It's not your responsibility
