Hello from Maine!

I’m into my 2nd year as crazy chicken lady with 7 solid poultry ladies. My ordinal three hatched June 19, 2020; and the other 4 hatched June 28, 2021. They are dr as magic, expressive, and delightful all the way around.

Urgent Question - Has anyone else ordered a coop from Ron from Standish? He has ads with the pictures below on both Facebook Marketplace and Maine Craigslist.

I met with him, he seemed knowledgeable and straightforward, his Silverado was in running order and looked like it belonged to a carpenter / builder. I gave him a deposit and he said he’d try to have it in 3 weeks. He then contacted me to ask if the color of stain in pictures worked, and we made arrangements for delivery.

I paid by check so have a copy of the cashed check with signature.
He didn’t show up on the agreed upon date, and hadn’t responded to text, phone call or email.

I am hoping there’s some reason for the delay, he seemed like a regular person. If you know of him, please let me know. I appreciate a community to support chicken owners! Winter is on its way snd I need a bigger coop.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
How long has it been since you last attempted contact with him?
Was his last name included in his FB page?
I just found him. Ronald Richardson.
A profile was created in Jan 2016 with only 6 friends and no posts. I would be VERY suspect of this character.
At this point, I would report it to FB. And file a police report.
 
What is his last name? It should be on the cashed check if you can read his signature. You could also have someone else text him from their cell phone to see if he will meet with them about a coop, and you’ll know if he is truly MIA if he doesn’t respond.
His name is Ron Richardson, and the number he posts is 207-331-7445.

I left a message yesterday.
