Purely Poultry owner looking for advice

I am confused. I looked at his site and I do not see anything that leads me to believe he is "drop-shipping chicks from other hatcheries". Could you please point that out to me (us) where you saw that. Tyler says he is NPIP certified and that leads me to believe he breeding what he's selling.

Tyler, if you are "drop-shipping", then I would have to agree with Matt and say that your site is misleading others. Remember, a half-truth is still a whole lie.

God Bless,

I called him and asked, he told me he was in college and lived in an apartment.


That is my whole point, he doesn't state anywhere that he is drop-shipping chicks, but wants to promote Christian values. Maybe no one else thinks this is wrong? I might be in the minority here.

If nothing else, I would be scared to trust my business name or personal reputation to another hatchery drop-shipping orders for me, all one has to do is read posts on this forum to see how badly orders can get screwed up. At least when an order gets screwed up from my place all I have to do is look in the mirror to find the culprit who did it.

I'll tell you which is my favorite chicken website... My Pet Chicken, I love the layout of their site. Honestly, price lists just look messy to me. I want to be able to quickly find the type of chicken I'm looking for and click on it and pull up a separate page with info about the breed, prices, pictures, etc. I definitely want pictures.

This seems silly even to me, but I don't like the blue background. It looks... I'm not sure what word I'm looking for... Dirty or Cloudy.

When I buy chickens, I want to be able to buy them sexed and less then 5 per breed.

I hope that helps.

If he is in college and lives in an apartment then it tells me that he is a middleman, someone who would do business with other breeders and give them their orders if that is the case. So he is one of the hundreds of folks who do business like that and it is up to the customer whether or not they will buy his chicks.

Hope in due time, the pictures and clearer information would help a great deal!

Good luck!

A lot of constructive things have been said. The owner has publicly asked for opinions on his site and that is what he is getting. He will just have to look past the comments that do not pertain to the site.

I do not have a problem with him selling chicks he did not hatch, many hatcheries do this.

So it looks to be by your own words that he told you the truth about being in college and living in an apartment. Did he also tell you that he is drop-shipping chicks from hatcheries or is that an assumption?

Btw, all the feedstores I know get their chicks from hatcheries but I've never had one of them volunteer that they do so. Does that mean they are misleading others? I don't think so.

Ewesheep could be correct and if that's the case then I don't see how he's misleading anyone.

Hey Tyler, how about enlightening us Brother? I did see on your site that you are NPIP certified and by that I must assume that the chicks you sell and ship meet that criteria as well. So, understanding the criteria for certification, if you are not personally breeding/hatching these chicks, then how are you certifying them under NPIP?

God Bless,

Ok I commented once and have tried really really hard to stay out of this thread. I did send a PM to OP to sort of clarify some of my thoughts directly. This has gone very far off topic and I cannot imagine why this is still open.

I have tried hard to not be offended by the comments that present the dogma that anyone who questions christianity is being hostile toward it. I have tried hard to be understanding when a site about chickens has turned into a religious forum. I have tried hard to understand how a fella trying to sell chickens albeit in a amatuerish fasion is flogged for a business plan that is entirely his own business. I have tried even harder to understand why we give a darn about any of this.

did he ever say he hatched them himself??? what did he do wrong? i'm confused here...

You know, if you people would go back to the original post you would see exactly where the hostility started! The OP basically say I am not taking my bible verses down and if you don't like them that's your problem, I put them there to offend you in the first place so just go away. Now...without this initial hostility on the op's part, I might have, at some point, purchased from him. NO WAY would I ever buy from someone willing to act in such a pathetic fashion, however. It has nothing to do with his right or his decision to place bible verses on his site, it has to do with his nasty attitude and his desire to ram his god down your throat and HOPE it hurts. Trust me, I see his brand of "christian" every day and it makes me so happy to call myself an atheist.
