Let me know if you get your birds. They cancelled my order and I was supposed to be on a call list and I was told none of the breeds I wanted were avaliable! As of right now I'm seeing I'm able to order two!
Since these birds are for hobby/enjoyment/looks and part of their appeal is their structure and feather pattern I think I will probably not clip wings. I will just expand their enclosed and covered run to accommodate their tendency for flight (I have a peach and a mimosa tree in there already) and allow them to range only in their run. They are small, their run will be large, maybe they won't know the difference
Not really sure about that. They tolerate confinement pretty well from what I have read but their tendency for being flighty might be an issue if their is not enough head room.
Will do. What breeds were you ordering? Ideal hatches year-round but of course some breeds slow down on mating and laying as it gets more into Fall and Winter so that may be why they were unable to fill your order. They do fill orders on a first-come basis so if I were to order 10 of a breed and you ordered 5 of that same breed before I placed my order they would fill your order first. So, if they only ended up with 8 hatches for that breed my order would be canceled or I would be offered a reduced order. I am hoping the Sebrights get her o.k. They are so small as chicks and at least rumored to be pretty fragile when that young. I am only an overnight shipment from Ideal but the weather is cold (mid-40's) at night now.
I ordered 5 and I ordered mix bantams, white silkies, and sebrights! When I ordered it only offered a october 22 ship date and if I order today its offering an october 8. I'm going to call them monday.. because when I looked they have the color silkies I really want (blue) and silver sebrights! I ordered before you so I don't get why my order was cancelled and I was told they would only have standard size breeds then your order goes through after mine for the same breed!
