IDEAL APPLAUSE!

Just an FYI (this is partially my fault, too)....

Last year, I ordered 1 dozen Standard Sultan Hatching eggs from Ideal. I received 1 dozen all in good shape. I incubated them & got three to hatch. However, one chick had it's legs on backwards??? and died without ever really living...the other two made it adult chickenhood. I housed them with my brahmas (BIG Brahmas) and I was always told that Sultans are a light breed--so the smaller size wasn't a shock, especially compared to my brahmas.

Long story short, it wasn't until recently that I found out my Sultans were BANTAMS & NOT standards....so IDEAL sent me bantams by mistake. I was a little slow in realizing this because I was new to chickens and unaware of the size thing. It was only when I weighed my hen that I saw she was under 2lbs--not the 4lb weight that I grew suspicious. I've since lost both of those birds....but recently got more eggs from someone on BYC.

I contacted IDEAL, but haven't heard anything back...

 

So they contacted me back & they are crediting my credit card for the FULL amount--no questions asked!

 

Quote:Yeah, NO KIDDING! Unfortunately, the CC I had my original order on--I paid off & closed the account. So she asked if I wanted to call in a NEW CC for them to issue the refund to, or if I wanted a check...

So I then asked if I could get a code or something so that I could order some more eggs from them...

Her response--What kind of eggs do you want?



So now I'm thinking....what do I want???

 

Quote:Yeah, I'm definitely hooked, now!

 

I know...so now my issue is--do I settle on a breed I already have--to get new bloodlines from? OR do I go for a breed that I want or have wanted? Like Sumatras or Faverolles? I have 15 Favs in the 'bator already....
