Difference is whether replacements are available. Marans replacements were not available and they were not about to refund $200+ to me. I did not want stock replacements like leghorns, orpingtons or other mixed breed birds. Folks don't realize that in the event the breed birds are not available as replacement they reserve the right to replace with ANY bird not the bird you ordered. I did not want other than the specific Marans I ordered. The only option was then to refund the money on the order. They refused and disabled my account. You've read my review, its not hateful or mean, it's truthful. They didn't like my posting negative reviews. By disabling my account I cannot leave reviews on their site. Simple. Meyer is not a reputable company to deal with. I guess if you're ordering $3 birds it's not a big deal.Mine just arrived dead, or barely clinging to life. The ones that did survive had serious deformities. I sent photos of the dead birds, and they sent out new ones which came alive. I just accepted, and won't order from them again. they never disabled my account or treated me like that. They were very pleasant to deal with actually.
