She is so adorable! I hope she can eventually gain full mobility! She has a good caretaker. Thank you for being so compassionate.
I have one that has to spend his whole day in a small cage (Sounds cruel - Hope I dont get in trouble for that!) He doesnt do well in a larger cage because he bumps into things too hard. He likes this one because it has a little cabin/house attached, he loves going in there to get away! He doesnt go outside except for supervised outings. He was stepped on by my Llama and the brain damage was permanent, he can only walk mostly sideways, sometimes forward, and his head bobs up and down. He has permanent palsey. He eats and drinks really messy! He's a white frizzle roo, and he's very sweet, but he'll never join the flock. They attack him when they see him.
Anyhow, I dont think the feedstores care about the quality of their stock, they're just in to sales for money...but you should still tell them how you feel! You were definitely mislead!
Besides, Your blue/Green egg laying/barred patterned birds is actually a very desireable trait! You may be a little disappointed in the lack of pretty brown, but you actually have somewhat of a "golden egg" in the "Barred Blue/Green Egg Layer" genetics!! Thats too cool! That's not something you see every day.....you will generate alot of interest in that, you just wait.

Thanks Tina, the feed store is in a small town in our county and I know the owner so I am hoping this will help her, her store has only been open just over a year.
And thanks for the golden egg, I am glad to know something besides pretty blue and green eggs may come of this.
Yes all the pullets look quite a bit like Ms. Cluck, there are a couple with bit bigger combs and waddles. But all are barred.
Thanks again for the comments.

The eggs were nice--not as dark as I had hoped for, but they were the little pullet eggs.
