I can see someone getting upset after being told that their chicken was hatchery mislabeled. It just does not feel good. I remember when I found out my production RIR were not the breed from way back when. That they would not get big or dark. That the roos would be super mean. Ohh the thoughts that went through my mind. After a while I calmed down and re read the hatchery description. They were using the word production so the fault landed on me. The chickens still gave me eggs and all was well once i got me my HRIR.I forgot to you guys what happened at rural king. After I said i was buying all the EEs, and putting them in the box, these people asked me what color eggs the layed. Her husband said remember we have an ameraucana she, they blue eggs. I corrected him telling him how hatcheries mislabel them and everything. So they they asked what color eggs they lay and i went into a whole explanation. They asked what the white chickens were, they were cornish crosses. then after we were checking out. I talked to them some more. They had pics of their chickens and asked what kind they were. They had a mix of RSL, EEs, and BRs. I told them about BYC and everything. the girl was pretty nice, but I do not think the guy liked me lol.
If my Amera.... chicks turn out to be EE, I'll learn more and move on. It happens. But that first time, is very upsetting and bubble bursting. I compare it to losing the belief of Santa and the tooth fairy. But I held on to my Santa for much longer than most.
I would not be surprised if they triedto contact you later to find out how to get real Amera...chicks.
