Thank You! They really are wonderful birds.
Years have passed and my opinion has changed… I had gotten the roo because Greenfire states that they are never human aggressive. Well mine started showing aggression in his third spring (shortly after this post) and got worse with every year, to the point of being unmanageable this spring, when I got rid of him. He was gorgeous but a brute with the hens - only his tid bitting was great. The hen, while also gorgeous, was loud and obnoxious, stand offish and never laid well. Peck relentlessly hands reaching under her in the nest. I would not get SFH from Meyer again. Maybe from Greenfire or a breeder that pays more attention to temperament.
Should have added, my hen stopped laying before turning three years old, too.
I won't ever give Greenfire money again. Their SFH were lovely but their customer service was awful. Absolutely rude and condescending.
Really? What happened?
Myself and another chicken keeper split an order of death layers. Some arrived dead, others obviously not feeling well. We each treated the birds and had no luck what so ever. When contacted they said give them medicated feed. We were both already treating for cocci. When we said we were treating and still losing birds they basically said we were stupid and must not know what we were doing. Refused to give any kind of compensation when we lost all but 3 birds in less than 5 days. Yes I realize there is a 48 hr guarantee but for them to obviously be sick upon arrival…. Something would have been nice. Even an apology for them dying.
