McMurray Mix Up!!?

[got2bskilled]

I received my order of 25 Ornamental Layer chicks from McMurray

Hatchery this early Feb. Well, now it is almost June.... and the darn

critters are BANTAMS!


~ Sigh, here is where is gets ugly... I sold almost all of them as

"standard sized chickens" on craigslist for $6 each to get my cost

back.


I feel terrible. I am a first time chicken momma.... and

because I thought mine were still growing I had no clue. I recently

got 2 beautiful EE hens from a fellow BYC'er -Teacher- and she also

had bantams the same age... needless to say it is clear what had

happened. Mine were bantams.


Now, as for the poor craiglisters.... I killed my old email

so I have no way of finding them... except for one person who

has a petting zoo. She has not returned my phone calls yet(I am

guessing busy). I plan on paying each person back because it is

the right thing... just stinks that now I have to pay twice for the

wrong order.


I called McMurray with my concern..... they told me to wait

5-7 months to be sure! It is 4 months now and my chickens

are the size of mocking birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they did

is put a "note" on my account. They said little to nothing on it.


HELP!! What do I do??? What should I do??? Anyone else ever get

the wrong order like this?

Last time I ordered from Mcmurray I also had a mix-up. I ordered Black Sex Link and I got Buff orphington. Ok so I called them and since the coloring was totally different they went a head and replaced them. But then I ordered again Black Jersey Giant this time and they sent the white. Last time I ordered from Mcmurray

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If anyone you sold them to is upset they'll contact you.
