OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

Yes it is the guy in Johnstown. I've got pictures on my cell phone of when we went to pick up the first chicks (i'm working on figuring out how to get them from phone to computer lol). Buckeye Egg is just down the road from him, I think. It's looking like most or all the wellies I swapped for have resp. disease from his place, and don't seem to be improving, so I have an entire flock of sneezy, boogery, oozy chickens that I can't afford to medicate (both money and loss of food), and also means I can't grow a healthy flock. Keeping the six healthy bantams I got from him as chicks separated from the wellies will be difficult. I am wondering if it is too late to just get my money back somehow, return them for a refund, but he is so far away.... cost me 20 in gas for the trip (which is a lot to me), and so far, i've made two.

If the guy won't give me a refund and take the birds back, It's either put up with the booger sisters forever, or cull them all and eat my costs.

An extremely disappointing experience anyhow.

I'm at kind of a loss of what to do.

Does your phone have a sd card or memory card? If it does you can pick up an adapter for the small card and a card reader very cheaply. They have both at Big Lots and lots of other places. You put the small card in the larger adapter, then into the reader then plug into the computer. The adapter has a usb connector.
Also try putting apple cider vinegar in your girls water. It could help. Just don't put it in a galvanized waterer. I live near New Concord . PM me if I can do anything to help you resolve these problems. Maybe I could go on pretense of buying and take photos that could be used. I am in CA right now but will be home on the 11th of July.
 
Im not sure of who breeds them. I just had my first ever baby chicks hatch yesterday naturally from a broody hen.
 
Mucha Smooches it's like this. You can ask for a refund, but if he cares for his birds in a manner consistent with what you say, what are the chances he will treat a customer any better?

You could post what your experiences were on Craigslist and wait for a frivolous libel or slander lawsuit.

You could file in Licking County Small Claims Court, but it costs to file and you have to travel, plus have evidence to support your claim.

You could call the Licking County Humane Society.... probably a good place to start, but... what will they do?

I guess I would chalk it up to a bad experience.... Thank you though, I had thought about buying some Turkey and Ducks from him. Not now.

Hello. I would like to dearly thank you all for posting this info about Johnstown!! I have thought about driving up there to get birds from this guy, but I (as you all do too) have enough problems without this type of headache!! From the pictures I have seen on CL, I have not been impressed and rather leery about these birds. I have called several times and left messages to be sure this guy has the birds I am after, but to no avail -no call backs. So I am very sorry you have gone through this Mucha, but I think loanwizard is correct. Chalk it up to a bad experience. I am trying (for the last 2 months) to get someone after a local person here who treats their animals similarly. I have rescued as many of the chickens as I can, but I can't take the other animals myself. Good luck to us all~!!
 
I am in Ada, near Lima. I am looking for some good quality silkie hatching eggs. My pet quality hen just went broody(yes in this heat wave) and I want to put some better quality eggs under for her to raise. I am interested in white, paint or black-blue-splash. Even if you just know someone in Ohio I can get some from send them to me or pm me with their info. I am willing to drive. I just have no luck with shipped eggs. Thanks
Josh
