Not emergency, but... WHAT is the problem here? Give me your opinions.

In her defense, I've been to her property and NEVER seen a bird like this.

I added an update to the original post.

HOLY cow 60$ a piece for pet quality? Ouch so 40$ for both birds if they are both hens hmmm...I would say no-how much more $ are you in for with treatment/time/meds/quarateen etc....Im sorry maybe Im being cheap-Id say 30$ tops... Im sorry-at least she is trying to resolve the issue!

I agree, I am happy she is trying to solve the issue.

I find $20 to be a good deal on a nice looking hen with no problems. I usually top out at about $50 for a nice hen.

But $40 for two, when one is possibly a roo (she swears it's not) and the other I'm going to have to do some serious TLC on is kind of iffy to me.

I haven't emailed her back. She has been very apologetic. But this is a lot more then I bargained for this Christmas.

I agree--sorry I meant 60$ for pet qaulity is too much for me-a nice possible SQ breeder hen I would top out at 40-50$ too. Im sure I could be persuaded even more if it meant really prettying up some breeders... Yorur silkie was better looking too. ..What would you like her to do? What would make you happy?

I agree Organic.

Sonew--honestly, I'm not sure what to do. In one respect, I'd hate to have to baby this chicken and make it better only for her to pick it up eventually.

I feel between a rock and a hard spot.

Sonew, by the way, thank you for the comments on mine. I try to keep only the poofiest ones and she has seen photos of mine and knows what I expect, ie (all mine):
